Excellent now I know where to raid when society breaks down.
Lmfao ‘including a Bear Grylls knife’ –
How to say you know fuck all about survival or bushcraft without actually saying it.
Get a bloody Mora ffs.
Dean Axford sounds like he’s a couple of infowars articles away from going full Ewok.
Eek, the last guy sitting in his living room with jerry cans of fuel and gas bottles.
Don’t stock up on items for an emergency if that involves putting yourself at risk of causing your own emergency by burning your house down.
I wish they’d find a prepper with the huge bug out bags for an interview.
*Oh yeah super light, it contains 12 knives, one machete, four tents, eight emergency meals, my dog, an XL med kit, jumper cables, boots, a home stereo system, a whistle, an emergency raft and two signed copies of Lord of the Rings. I got it on a cheap budget of £33k*
If your a prepper the last thing you want to be doing is announcing it to everyone on the bloody news.
Does anyone have any reading material for realistically surviving if we had to go back to living off the land?
I’ll be the first to admit that I know fuck all about which plants are safe to eat, how to trap, skin, and cook wild animals, grow vegetables with irrigation, etc.
I’d bet 99% of people are in the same boat.
If society collapses to the point of people having to forage for themselves then most people are fucked, myself included.
Here’s my prep plan:
Bottle of whiskey and 10 packs of codeine.
if you’re a prepper all you’re doing is gathering supplies for the biggest hardest guy on your street
Some of this sounds like a rebrand of “hoarding”, which is often due to a range of underlying mental health conditions. It must be sad living in so much fear. I really hope these people are ok and can access support should they wish to seek it.
“and various other survival items including a Bear Grylls knife.” – thank God it’s Bear Grylls branded, enemies are immune to Tesco own brand kitchen knives.
“Covid in late 2019, while in Israel, and decided it looked quite novel”
I don’t think “novel” means what you think it means.
“Stock up for the hard times” – Wait were we not already in hard times? Was the last decade supposed to be some sort of sunlit upland??
As a dungeon master with a game this weekend this hit hard.
My essentials are a car battery and tiny pure sine wave inverter to keep the modem online during power cuts.
Am I doing it wrong?
I figure I’d just be buying resources for the first person to come along capable of killing me, so why bother.
And all the “what if nuclear war happens” and your survive. Then why would I prep, I don’t want to live in a post nuclear war world lol.
These people probably don’t know anything about survival skills or have any practical skill sets that would help then survive, they’re just narcissistic cowards that value themselves above the average man
If you have space it’s a good idea to have a month of food in storage. Then cycle through it every few months..
Yeah this kind of reminds me of all the hording back when Covid started.
Generally I have a feeling this sort of thinking will just make things worse.
If you want to properly prepare for a disaster, take a few night classes in survival skills or join one of those organisations that goes to camp in Wales for a few weeks each year.
Anything less is basically just cosplaying.
this kind of thinking can’t be fun or productive.
you are literally living in terror of everything going wrong and hoarding things of little to no use.
while it’s easy to laugh at these people, i can’t. i genuinely feel sorry for them
There’s “prepping” which is insane, and then there’s having a store cupboard. I aim to have about between 1-3 months worth of most stuff we use that won’t go off – so tins, coffee, jars. I buy when there’s offers, stock it in sell by date order. So currently we have 25Kg of rice, 6 of pasta, 5 of flour. And about 100 assorted tins. (And a lot of toilet roll of course)
If you have the capital to do it, it ensures that if there is a temporary shortage in the shops because of panic buying you’re not part of the problem, plus with inflation, you’re saving money because you’re eating at last month’s prices.
If you have the money and the space (and I appreciate not everyone does) you should be doing this so that if there are supply difficulties you can hang back and let other people who don’t have the resources have first go at what is in the shops.
Society isn’t going to collapse overnight – but your supermarket might very well run out of cooking oil next month.
Prepping of the sort where you buy additional food and medicine, given the recent proliferation of panic buying, is not such a terrible idea.
Buying petrol and weapons is immeasurably dumb though. If you want to survive an apocalypse you need people you trust, first and foremost.
Philippe Marti’s food stockpile seems rather inadequate. He’s pictured with two bottles of wine, two big boxes of tea bags, various jars of sauces but no pasta, no rice, no tins of baked beans. He’d die of starvation before he opens the second box of teabags.
I really wish the media wouldn’t post inflammatory stuff that causes panic buying.
The apocalypse is coming! Do you A:
A: teach yourself some simple farming and foraging techniques, buy a bow and some arrows, learn how to hunt with said bow and arrow, learn how to repair things like clothes, shoes, bows, arrows and bicycles, learn how to start a fire and build rudimentary shelter, stockpile shitloads of water purification tablets, buy a big knife
B: fill a freezer with food that’ll perish as soon as the national grid fails, stockpile fuel that’ll allow you to continue drive your car a couple of weeks longer (beyond a one way ‘bug out’ trip where would you be going exactly?), buy some of those cool ‘military meal kits’ you saw on youtube, buy a Bear Grills brand big knife
ive never really understood this mentality. If shit hits the fan, people will come together to solve the issues. Going solo and living off cans of beans, that isnt going to work out long term is it
If we reach the point where these kinds of setups are needed, I feel like there wouldn’t be much of a world worth surviving for.
I have a sizeable stockpile including huge bottles of drinking water and most common medicines. I rotate it all regularly to keep on top of it all. I was very poor growing up so find this quite comforting plus if it all goes to shit I’m good for a few months whilst I decide whether it’s worth carrying on.
>Everything purchased or stored is movable at short notice, using the truck and caravan, plus my son’s car.
Jesus Christ the guy sounds like a pleb.
These people who think they can grab a bag and run off to the woods when the shit hits the fan will be leaving most of their extended family behind
Prepping is not the solution, building communities and being able to rely on friends for things like tool sharing and DIY projects along with shared gardens / farms is the future.
