Prepping- in the news.

It has just been reported that Germany has asked its citizens to "BE PREPARED" by storing at least 10 days food and 5 days bottled water per person in case of terrorist activity or other emergency.
maybe prepping in Europe is becoming mainstream at last? well, its a start.

I would be storing more than that if I lived there, you & I know what will happen if the electricity goes off.

exactly, but its a start, I think the british governments advice is still 72 hours.

 

im too old school country i dont understand people not haveing food. in cupboards running to the store many times for whatever is gas & wear on your car. we got to town twice a month and those days are most of the time it raining so work outside is put off

 

I grew up in a time before supermarkets, if you didn't have it in the cupboard you went without, I have continued this all my adult life.
we do a "big" shop once a month. we can still get meat and other things at our local weekly market, we don't buy supermarket meat, and eggs are bought locally from non commercial egg producers.

 

I see reading the german piece again, that they reckon they have enough national fuel stocks of petrol and diesel to last 90 days.

 

your a bit like me MK, we are very good at scavenging.

 

I was brought up in a generation that reused and recycled everything, so that when I see a Skip(Dumpster) or anything "fly tipped" I always stop to see if there is anything I could make use of, this of course would continue post SHTF.

 

Agreed PD, you can go without food for 3 weeks if you don't do too much work & you have plenty of water, but you can only survive roughly 3 days without water.

someone better tell the Germans then!!
