Avalons Finest! sounds better
No lets not get carried away with names just yet.
Dar Kuma is on the ball with his bridge of groove.
Things to consider in that fortress is sanitation.
It may be cosy in there but if you're besieged and can't get out for a while things are gonna turn brown real quick! Especially with about 50+ of
us in there!
TT, I'm not quite ready to move now. By 2010 I will be.
Reason being I've gotta get the cash together (ie Work!) and other stuff.
Trying to flee to other countries and embarking on mainland European adventure is novel and compelling but I agree with the earlier comments that
sticking it out here in Blighty is a good bet.
I can tell you from my Army days that marching long-distance as a soldier isn't all its cracked up to be. You need well worn-in boots (that you can
run in if need be) and be able to tape up your feet to prevent blisters.
My fitness isn't brill but I can hike about 10 miles without causing major aggor carrying a Bug-Out Bag and probably a weapon of some description
(probably a crossbow and bolts).
I suggest other survivalists cut down the booze and fags.
Consider that some of you may have family members tagging along, this will slow you down, if your moving carefully to avoid danger this will slow you
down further.
One thing I can't believe hasn't been touched upon is silver and gold!
These things have been legal tender from the first cities eons ago and I suggest if anyones serious about prepping a bail-out bag/survival kit to get
some gold and silver pronto!
currency will be worthless but not gold and silver.
Get it in 1/4 ounces for gold and onces for silver. That way it's manageable for trade and barter.
Weaponry is a good thing but don't load yourself down.
Someone mentioned getting a quad and using it to get to a hideout etc. That's not a bad idea, but fuel will be a problem.
Storing fuel is a nightmare. It goes off after about 2-3 weeks.
The yanks store shtloads of it in big caverns but only in its crude oil state (which doesn't go off)
LandRovers and some diesel cars can run off 100% cooking oil, that does keep and it won't be a very fast Land Rover but will move.
Karma man, you need to get that door secured anyway you can mate. Once you've secured it put a fake sign on it 'Asbestos Dust Present Keep Out!'
or similar to keep intruders away.
Alright, thats all for now...
