    Open question - Financial

    Oil has recently gone from $70 to $100 per barrel. Is it just me or does anyone else think that this is still massively undervalued considering the current situation? We now have not one but two major shipping straights closed and things in both the Middle East and Russia look like they are...

    Open question - Financial

    This is only hearsay to be fair and not an official statement from the US government. However it is known that they have have now used up virtually all of the oil from the 'operational' section of most of the caverns so if they keep draining them for much longer...

    Open question - Financial

    Update regarding the oil shortage situation: The US government now intends to drain the strategic oil reserves to 'fully empty' rather than just using up the 'operational' oil reserve. For anyone who doesn’t understand what this means or how the strategic oil reserves actually physically work...

    National Risk Register/National Resilience Update - Nothing new to us.

    Sounds like if there were a serious national emergency your neighbors would be busy waiting for someone from the government coming to help them out. (I suspect they might be waiting for a long time though :D).

    National Risk Register/National Resilience Update - Nothing new to us.

    @Woody girl You sound like the sort of person who would be very useful to have around in a crisis. I bet your knowledge and spirit would be more useful in an emergency than a million pounds worth of material preps.

    GMail will use your data to train AI (ie. read all your private emails)

    VPNs and monitoring what people are looking at on their computer is just the tip of a much larger iceberg too. The video below discusses how the thousands of public video cameras and multiple data centers operate together. I thought that I already had a good idea about this sort of thing but...

    GMail will use your data to train AI (ie. read all your private emails)

    It turns out that Windows tracks and logs every webpage that you have ever visited even if you're using a VPN. Also Microsoft has been known to share this information with governments too. So if you think your online browsing is anonymous when you use a VPN it's not if you use a Windows device...

    What did you buy today?

    I'd be interested to know how you get on with that after watching the DBK videos on Youtube.

    Medicine shortages

    I have about 20 spare packets of aspirin at home that I don't need anymore. I bought them about two years ago to help with a minor circulation issue which is no longer a problem. You can have them all for free if you want.

    Open question - Financial

    Personally, right now, I'm most interested in food, oil, silver and copper in that specific order. I think food will rise in price by the highest percentage, then silver, then oil, then copper. But all four look like promising investment opportunities in my opinion. Ps This not investment...

    Open question - Financial

    It's been a brutal 6 months that's for sure! If you're willing to be patient I'm still confident that you'll be pleasantly surprised when it makes it's move. The fundamentals drivers that were pushing the price of silver up have not changed. So the way I see things are thus: As I considered...

    Yes thank you. Even if a proper book doesn't exist I will be able to print this out and make one.

    Trapper book advice wanted

    Hello all :) I'm interested in learning about trapping birds and small mammals such as rabbits and would like to know if there are any good books to use as a reference on the subject. I've looked on Amazon and there are a couple of trapping books there such as the The Trapper's Bible and...

    The Elusive “One Knife” for Bushcraft…?

    While I still think that having something small like a Fallkniven F1 for most tasks and partnering it with something big like a saw, hatchet or machete for chopping duties is the best option. If I had to choose one knife as a compromise that can cover everything well it would probably be a...
