The New Berry Patch & Comeback After Hail Storm.
Well I haven't quite finished the new berry patch yet, I still have the wires to install for the berries to climb on, but I cut two poles out of the copse today, debarked them both & used them as braces on top of the berry patch posts. As you can see the mushroom compost & manure has been...- Keith

Do Any Of You Go Camping?
Do any of you go camping with your bug-out equipment & practice skills? Keith. -
Bug Out Equipment. What & Why.
I decided to post this because when I read lists of other people’s modern equipment for bugging out I often see items that I can’t make sense of. Items that are NOT sustainable & seem of very little use. Some say “well I use this until it breaks & then I throw it away”. The problem with that is... -
Equipment To Make Things Easier Whilst We Still Have Fuel!
The rest of our close family (my other two sons & family) are coming tomorrow having been with inlaws over Xmas. We don't mind, because we have never celebrated Xmas anyway except for the kids. So, time to cut the grass to make snakes more visible! One thing leads to another as you probably well... -
Our New Water Pump.
I decided that as we have so much excess solar power I would be better off with an electric water pump to pump water from our lower collection 5000 gallon cement water tank to our upper house feed tank than the petrol fire pump we have been using. Survival wise we will probably always have 240...- Keith

Personalising Equipment.
Do any of you ever personalise your equipment? My Father used to paint all his tools blue, except for certain tools like his 17th century lathing hatchet & his 19th century fascine knives/billhooks. When he gave me my first felling axe he painted the head red! My Mother wouldn't let me take it... -
Garlic As A Food & Medicine.
Since making this video I have done a little more research. Most authorities on the subject of foods seem to agree that garlic was not high on the list of good foods, but further research of my own shows that this was mainly among the upper classes, and it was because of the garlic smell. Among...- Keith

This is my fire bag, it is made of clothing weight leather & greased to make it waterproof. It contains my tinderbox. Rolling the top down keeps the water out & I carry this in my belt pouch.

Tomahawk Throwing & How To Throw A Tomahawk For Beginners.
Tomahawk or axe throwing is a good survival skill to learn, as it can be used in defence, & for hunting. Tomahawk throwing is also a competition sport & good entertainment when you have some free time. Keith. -
Movie. Pandemic. 2007.
Not bad at all for its day. Good movie, watchable. Parts of it almost like a doco showing the steps that led to the Pandemic spreading from one person to another. It could have showed more, & I think the ending was a little too good to be realistic, but on the whole I think they did a good job...- Keith

Fauna Foods In The Uk.
I thought perhaps a list of food animals available in the UK might be a good idea, especially those less thought of these days. My Father was born in 1904, I I remember him telling me about how the poorer village children would hunt for food using sticks & catapults. So I will start off this...- Keith
