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.

The place I harvest mine is known for having 'urban' badgers. Never connected the two.

Like the panel size and the basis of the frame design, but it would need refined, I'd particularly like to see everything captive in some fashion. It would be really nice to see the storage unit fully ruggedised, or to offer it as an option. As regards the Anderson connectors, I'm happy enough...

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?

Tinned chicken dehydrates fairly well. Which probably says something nasty about the stuff. But you can make a passable curry with it. Wouldn't swear to the shelf life. Porridge makes a really good alternative to dhal (Indian lentils). Couple of tablespoonsful, chilli flakes and a handful of...

It's probably still in the garage/attic along with most of the other bits & pieces that were attached to my ex-mil Land Rover when I had it!

Have one (Military Howard II Pattern). I clearly remember searching for and finding the "tables" for it being one of the first practical things I ever did on the internet, so about '93-ish. And that was as far as it went.

Lighting up time was still being mentioned on the radio news/weather in my childhood, 1970s. The UK has only had a single, unified time setting since 1880.

I have to make mine in semi-secrecy, otherwise the Mrs. eats it all. She would never touch it until we got stuck in a wee ville in Brittany one Sunday evening with everything shut. I had crackers, rat pack cheese & a baggie of my teriyaki jerky in my ruck, upon which we dined that evening. Never...

Of course it is. But it in terms of getting something done, be it ordering a pizza (facile) or calling an ambulance (serious) it's not an adequate replacement for a phone service. See also speaking to specific individuals. You can negate the shortfall to a degree by having arrangements in...

Oh, they were well ahead of the curve on these. 21 years ahead to be exact! Info is all still online.
