Basic Survival

You really show ur full stash? Silly boy...

 

Those fires can and do spread at an incredible rate.
Your very lives depend on accurate information being released as early as possible to residents, including those who might have only the slightest chance of being affected, by those emergency services looking at the bigger picture in order that you have time to consider your options in an informed and proportionate way.
I can't imagine the horror of getting it wrong, makes wet and grey England seem not so bad after all!

 

There's something to be said for holding all important documents in some sort of deposit box or safe storage location if there is any chance of a disaster in your area

 

I think having prepared plans put you ahead of most JD.
Even living in city, I have water and dry food stored that I update quarterly and many people ask me why.
I feel for you and also many Australians that have Bush fires as they can be so devastating. Do you store rain water to help dampen your surroundings if needed?

 

Alternatively they could spend the money and route them underground

 

I ‘roll my own’, so I only have to enter completed rounds onto my ticket for the number to possess.

 

Worse than I had thought JD, a lot dryer than when I was there in ‘99. Wishing you well

 

We have a genny, plenty of fuel, and a rotated supply of canned goods. Coal/firewood is always 12 months in advance. Plenty of dried goods. Water supply is a natural spring.

We get power failures... So have a gas stove, and the ever trusty Trangia, plus outside facilities and Dutch ovens.

Plenty of food on the hoof, as long as there's ammo and we have salt, we won't run out of meat. Venison is pretty good for you too.

We get snowed in from time to time, temperatures down to minus 28 the other year. It's usually about +20c in the house, quite a difference range... I do know how to stoke a fire!

Paperwork is duplicated, two folders, either side of the house, plus copied to online storage.

I usually have a few edc items at all times too. Each vehicle has a standby kit, food, cook stove, water, survival blankets, folding shovel etc.

Nothing wrong with being prepared, is there?

 

I just keep my "faster'n'light" shit hot space ship in the garage so if the shit hits the fan I can just zoom off to a more peaceful planet.

 

Gis a lift

 

Will do but you'll shit your pants !
