How would you prep on a TINY budget

[Devonian]

On a tiny budget, then yes you can get a lot of Asda/Aldi/Lidl own brand tins/rice/pasta for very little money and that has to be a great starting point that anyone can follow to at least have a couple of weeks basic rations.

Another point would have to be water storage tap water and rain water are cheap and easy to collect.

Having decent first aid supplies and pain killers is another must, as is basic equipment such as matches, candles, torches and a knife (or two...) none of which needs to be expensive and again the likes of Asda/Lidl and Amazon can enable people to get kitted up very cheaply.

Then as BP says, skills and knowledge is what will get you through any "long term" crisis, everyone should aim to be able to:

- Grow your own food
- Hunt and Forage
- Stay safe and out of trouble
- Scavenge food and other essential supplies

As well as library books, they should use this forum to ask questions and also youtube videos can be good to demonstrate specific techniques, all at no cost.
