Indeed, foundation is quite simple, rote learning will get you through it, and the recent licence changes make it a much more useful ticket than it used to be. Which annoys a lot of 'classic' amateurs. Being located in N. Ireland however, I notice that there's a bit of a groundswell in Ireland...

I thought I did, it's largely an image issue.

Umm... If I had to give a single answer, it's not very "tacticool".

On an individual basis, entirely doable. As a nation? Not so much and it hasn't been truly viable for longer than you'd think.

FWIW, I'm still recommend CB to people looking for "prepper comms". A lot of preppers don't like that though!

Who or what do you actually want to hear, Broadcasters? Amateurs (Hams)? Aircraft? Local or global? Do you need it to fit in your pocket? What do you want it to run off, power wise? For the most part I'd keep the receivers & transceivers separate, exceptions exist. Think about your actual...

One of my grandfathers was fond of saying "What people don't know doesn't hurt them" it's not universally true, but in regard of "prepping" it's a pretty useful maxim.

Yes, I didn't phrase that very well, I'd like to see the same on a production version.

That's not so much a consequence of the power outage as of your cheesemonger being a tool. Seek a more reliable source of cheese! I've a semi-retired friend who lives in a log cabin on his brother's land, not a prepper retreat or anything, one of those places built from a kit. He played golf...

If you're not in a massive rush, I'm over in France again May/June and I have a "source".

Did anyone ever do the beanburger version of sosmix? It could be made with an egg if you were vegetarian or oil if you were vegan and if properly hydrated, which took a while IIRC, was a very good fakeaway for the old Burger King beanburger, which I, as a commited carnivore, miss a lot. It...

Thanks all. More possibilities there than I'd imagined. I'd really love an original Reeve Aviator, but they're a tad pricey (last offer I had was £1200).

Is anyone aware of a smith making fixed blades in the style of Chris Reeve's offerings from the late Eighties? That would be a one-piece hollow handle type, preferably with change from a grand?
