Thanks for the reply.
Yeah Keys, well I bet in your hand that they would have a good use.

I suppose it would all depend on the situation you find yourself in.

Total law enforcement gone then it will not matter what you have or own.

I suppose it would be easier to conceal a catapult than it would a cross bow.
Though a crossbow would have more use in a hunting situation.

A good crossbow would be handy..

A professional bow, air rifle etc...www.redrae.co.uk...

Or download a copy of anarchists cookbook - plenty of ideas in there

If I remember my UK Law correctly... I dont think a Ball Peen Hammer is classified as a weapon.

Yeah I have a snare wire and I would say a very good fishing kit.
I made a very good ( well I believe it is ) fishing kit for Bug out bag.

I need to pick up a few more snare wires and maybe even a couple of rabbit net traps. I am sure that they would not take up much room in a BOB ( bug out bag ).

I have a 2 swiss army knife types in the kit, I will upgrade them to a better version, but as of yet I am still working on the term, something is better than nothing.

If you had to leave in a hurry I suppose a thick stick sharpened to be spear could make a useful weapon.

Yeah you have to be very careful even when transporting something like an axe home.

How do you store your weapons at home ?? I suppose that is something else we might want to look at.

I have a locking ammo box in which I like to keep my knives in etc.

Thank you for your input Mr Bob, do you recommend another catapult or does what you say go for all catapults ???

A catapult as a whole is still quite easy to conceal and does not take alot of room in a bug out kit.

But if it was to fail very quickly then I see what it could be better to over look them.

If anything they would just P*** off most things larger than a bird. but its up to you, get one and have a go (i wouldnt suggest targeting live animals)
(If you have the money. )
another thing is the rubber can dry out. wich sounds weird but it can, and can go brittle after a long time.

If you want something small and longer ranged, a 50lb crossbow, is pretty good and a bit easier to aim, and be be brought in the UK. and you can learn to make the small arrows in the wild, if you run out. The strings are easier to replace. still quite difficult, but it is do-able.

Agreed, you cant really, carry something that needs regular maintenance, like that because you are going to run out of ammo, and spare parts. and you will need to cary a fair amount of spares.

Being light is of course of a great advantage.
If I need to leave my home, there will be myself and my partner to share the load.
But we are lucky that we have a destination to go to.
We have 72 hrs of food each and where we are going follows a well know river system.

Ya see im one of these believers that over the next few years we will experience great floods throughout the world. See levels are predicted to rise 10fold. If this is the case, and indeed if it happens, ill be heading to high ground.

Im from Ireland but now reside [ 3 years ] up here in Lancashire. Horrable place i know, but its were my work took me.

Im going to head to the Scottish Highlands if things get messy here. Plenty of forestry with plenty of lakes, rivers and streams to get good food. The place ill be heading resides on the side of a mountain with a cavern/cave large enough and comfortable enough to house 8 people. Inside the cave there is a few large [ ish ] cracks with fresh water running thoughout it. Some of the cracks will provide fresh water while another thats at the rear of the cave will be used for a loo, if the need arrises that i cant go outside for whatever reason.

With my job [ freelance photographer ] i travel alot. Instead of sleeping in hotels and B&B's etc i prefer to camp. Though in the winter months when its REALLY cold then b&b's it is lolol.
