Stocking up food and water

[Ouzo Dan]

If people start fighting each other with crossbows then there's not really a society worth surviving for.

The Israelis were using trebuchets against Hamas.

As a civvie you're kind of limited with ranged weapons, a couple half decent Balearic slingers would send a horde of rioters running.
It's also impossible for the government to ban string & stones.

Granted, I'm saying what's the point in surviving?

as opposed to the drones and hi tech weapons we have now ? sticks and stones....or nukes. Its all about power, loot, and testosterone.

No, it's about hanging on for dear life to be part of a ruined society. No thanks.

Still have to protect your family my man.

Carbon monoxide would sort it.

cos you are the last in a long unbroken line of people who fought against a hostile environment. Everybody is always banging on about 'two World Wars'........as if the Mills of Victorian England were some kind of an episode of Love Island ?

Peasants Revolt , anybody ?

Having read a handful of posts here I see the conspiracy theorists are enjoying themselves.

Whilst it’s obviously true that we live in a fast changing and dangerous world some of the responses here seem pretty ridiculous to me. I don’t doubt that we face raised threats to our infrastructure and military sites but mass drone attacks wiping out the national grid? Come on? Where on earth could that be launched from that we seriously wouldn’t notice?

Those of you talking about arming yourselves as the way to be prepared ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You won’t be of course. I give thanks that you are so few in number. The rest of us would do what people always actually do in a crisis. Rely on cooperation and community to do the best we can.

Of course it’s wise to be prepared. We lost power here for the last 2 days. Something that seems to happen quite regularly in recent years. Every house but mine in the immediate neighbourhood went dark. Not mine though. Everything worked fine, the heating was on, so were the lights and all the electrics. I was prepared! We have enough food stored to last at least a month. Can collect water if we need to.
