RE: IF the SHTF what would the govt provide?
I thought that was probably the case, so no back ups in an emergency then, thought not.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

RE: IF the SHTF what would the govt provide?
YET ( and PLEASE guys this is not a political dig) we manage to give away over £12 billion pounds in foreign aid for disaster relief in other countries, yet we have no reserves for ourselves, which is all the more reason we should be prepping and planning.

RE: IF the SHTF what would the govt provide?
and I do not see any "foreign aid" coming our way from other countries in a disaster, not even the EU despite paying £55 million per day to be part of the "club", so keep those preps coming folks.

Sweet FA I should imagine!

RE: IF the SHTF what would the govt provide?
Didn't the flooding at Boscastle take almost all of the UK's available helicopters for rescuing people? I'm sure I heard that one somewhere. I agree with NR; the cold war mentality to preparedness, from the government's point of view, is long gone.

RE: IF the SHTF what would the govt provide?
and that is just one event, imagine if it was a national catastrophe! I wonder just how much help you would imagine your own areas would get, very little I imagine as any resources the govt still had left would be swamped with calls for help, I expect only the rich areas where they pay more tax and are "friends" of the govt will get any help.
