What have done towards your prep?

[Pete Grey]

It appears that the drought may be over, we now need to consider wether we need to look for plants which will better survive future droughts. We have lost some plants but fortunately only decorative ones, not fruit bearing.

On a trip up north on the M6 yesterday there was gridlock in places due a couple of accidents and the volume of traffic, it is obvious any chance of bugging out after TSHTF would have to be on foot or bike, as all main roads would be impassable.

The standard of driving was aplorable and this is in normal conditions, when people are frantic there would be mayhem. We MUST keep our eyes on the ball when things start to deteriorate and if we are bugging out we must make it early.

A major event would probably gridlock the whole country but a more local event may leave us a way out. If not the contents of the BOV would not be wasted as they would add to our home preps.

As for actual preps, things have been quiet this week but we have picked a lot of blackberries which have been open frozen.
