RE: How prepared are you? Prepper survey.
12-16 months, big help by growing food, having a well and water storage and a 4x4. While the purpose of prepping is not to try and win some points in a quiz, if you are staying at home come Armageddon, near everyone should have top marks for water. Everyone repeat after me GUTTER PIPE WHEELY BIN BOIL WATER.
If the idea of drinking out of a bin does not sound like your cup of tea, get some 40 gal drums on hand. In a medium to longer term crisis, the ability to store water is as important as having some water on hand in a short term crisis.

Low security, apparently. I feel so vulnerable now haha.

RE: How prepared are you? Prepper survey.
score 91
24 months
low security , weapons are an excellent equalizer one gun is a start but two with 1000 rds per person is ideal, standardizing your weapons to one caliber simplifies ammo storage and reloading
typical American answer !
not in the UK where we can only store a limited amount of ammo legally and having more than one type of firearm is hard

RE: How prepared are you? Prepper survey.
Nat Geo should redraft the quiz so it reflects the British community.
Thinking about fire arms even if i was allowed weapons legally I would either go all 9MM ( 9mm Pistol and 9mm Carbine) or 22LR and .410 like the family on DDP, I fired my old mossberg .410 pump with rifled slugs it did all I needed.

No firearms, poor security, no bOL, no 4x4 BOV, no deep nuke shelter.
Wow, I'm doomed (NOT).
We're going to starve in 4 to 8 months BUT we've planned for 6 months so I suppose that's about right.
As for electricity being essential! We deliberately built our survival plan for no power.
I suppose the yanks need to run essential things like their TV's and blenders more than we do.
Funny only talking about bartering for goods.
I'm guessing that a few of us will be negotiating for what we need with pointy and "bang bang" things.
I suppose that as it's a family show, they can't include that option.

Anyone up for a bit of digging near Chester?
!2 to 16 months is actually a good score. This poll was based on US society which is mouch more brutal than the UK.
Brutal?
If you mean the US has more guns I suppose so yet when push becomes shove here, a knife in the guts is just as effective.
Similar score to you Paul, as you said planned for no power etc...
Plus the U.S. isn't here so not to bothered by the score...
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...
