    WTF.jpg

    September is preparedness month. Emergencies can happen at any time and it’s recommended to have a #GrabBag ready containing essential items including medication, copies of important documents, food/water, torch, radio and other personal items.

    This is retardation on so many levels, I`m so shocked, I can`t even begin to think about what to put in my emergency grab bag. Never had one before.
    Please, help me, what do I need to pack? Will we all survive to start growing moustaches in November?

    This is real people :scream::worried:

  2. Just pack the beer mug that fills itself up automatically
     
  3. I’m not sure why this is news worthy. Advice provided by Police Scotland which given the remoteness of some of the communities and how severe winter weather can be, I would have thought was common sense and not something to ridicule. Yes, it’s a bit OTT for Millenials, Snowflakes and city dwellers but having lived through a time where a journey from London to Cornwall was a major expedition and your vehicle of choice would be likely to break down, I still carry a small bag of essentials if I’m off on a long journey. Socks, underpants, T-shirt, tooth brush and toothpaste, a bottle of water and something sweet and high calorie like a bar of Kendal mint cake. I also always carry a ‘first responders’ first aid kit and as a sop to this modern age we live in, I also carry a mobile phone booster battery. Andy
     
  4. cable ties. and a swiss army knife.
     
  5. I`ve just had a quick look on social media, where else would you go for useful advice and opinions.
    My findings so far.
    At this time of year, suitable clothing is important. A Halloween costume is a must, maybe also a santa or elf costume, depending on how long the crisis lasts and how much room you have in your preparedness bag.

    Caviar, champagne or wine seems to be the Southerners choice, no views on the Northerners options as yet, possibly black pudding, gravy and beer or Newcastle brown.
     
  6. Can I add, gafer tape, a pillow case and a blacked out panel van.:mask::worried:;)
     
  7. you can. but it kinda went without daying tbh.
     
  8. A handy guide to cooking long-pig.

    Translated from the original Swedish to English, obvs.

  9. I could never remember to stick a few condoms in my wallet when I was younger.......................that's how prepared I was :p
     
  10. Apparently this years favourite Halloween costume is the BoJo…….
     
  11. Basically this is the psychological war that is played out on American minds. I'm glad that people took to taking the piss out of these sorts of things aka zombie apocalypse nonsense. It's just another form of mass panic buying & pushing commerce, whilst reinforcing '..you should be scared..' but don't worry to much the us_fascist government has you're back! We'll house you in fema camps & have already brought coffins that accept 4-bodies per container.

    Were is the outrage that agencies in USA have horded armour piercing rounds in the tens of millions? More troubling is a new proposed agency coined HARPA, after the vile DARPA one. To help scale american citizens health status for owning or having guns...I bet few people in north-america know about this one!

  14. Mole grips. You'll want mole grips.
     
  15. I think GT85 smells better - doubles as aftershave when you're stuck somewhere with only 4 and twenty young virgins with nothing to do but make exciting underwear :thinkingface:
     
  16. Don't forget the mole grips.
     
  17. The voice of experience and reason.

    How do you tell a virgin ewe from another?

  20. I can’t believe that no one has mentioned their valet? They have a very important role to play in overcoming arduous conditions with comfort.
