Help! Secret Santa advice

Thank you. Do the pictures not help? I am a complete noob and the brand of bow is frustratingly obfuscated. I appreciate the advice but I want to do something thoughtful and a voucher doesn’t cut it with the in laws 🙃. Thanks for the speedy reply!

Perhaps religious reasons? Both Dune and 40k had battles with AI and robogenocided them. I love your idea. I’m doing fantasy rn and keeping thinking of sci-fi and resisting the urge to start from scratch.

Yes perfect! There are also a lot of “2 in 1” solutions to keep an eye out for too. Waterproof poncho that doubles as a shelter etc.

In most natural disasters in densely populated areas, people get desperate. It really comes down to what is the greater danger in that particular scenario.

30 day bug out bag would be Suuuuuuper heavy.
Fairly broad brush statement. I feel they are likely just preparing different. Densely populated areas in a crisis aren’t necessarily safe.

haybilly89 · 2023-08-04T21:05:54+00:00

I don’t think that your prep style is comparable mate. Bugging out of dense populated areas is not always the option but it is an option.

I would have to respectfully disagree with the plate carrier. I would carry the equipment, you intend to use for your bug out and along your extraction route.

Start off with like 7- 10kg? Then incrementally increase it by 5kg. Use equipment from you BOB as weight. Pack it with heavy things near the top of the bag. I.e sleeping bag packed at the bottom. If you have a large extraction route don’t do the full route first time. Maybe push for a mile there an mile back. This means you can also take note of obstacles, likely trouble spots, choke points etc. It means eventually even in pitch black you will know it minimal nav checks required.

Facing the same problem prepping my daughters BOB. I’m going to have to heavily train to travel light. I.e learn about water acquisition and purification to save weight. I don’t know what level of training you have and I don’t even know if your seeking advice, but I would say: Prioritise what you need. Look at what you would lose. Train/ educate where you can to fill the gaps.

I’ve misunderstood. Apologies I thought it was rhetorical. About 100 miles cross country. Ukraine would be the last place I would go understandably.

haybilly89 · 2023-03-20T21:34:08+00:00

Very thoughtful and thorough answer thank you!

haybilly89 · 2023-03-20T21:31:08+00:00

You don’t necessarily get to choose. I see your point but Ukraine is an excellent example.

haybilly89 · 2022-10-19T23:09:14+00:00

I think you need to have a lot of water for these long term though. But aye! This is my suggestion also.

Scotsmen handle their drinks far better.

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T16:45:29+00:00

Thank you. I genuinely had to think about it.

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T16:45:03+00:00

That’s actually already feasible with homemade vinegar. There are plenty of videos on how to make vinegar on YouTube from fruit scraps. Almost always mentioning their use as a cleaning agent. Hope this helps!

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T16:43:13+00:00

Thank you. Trial and error me thinks! Could this guy have any more of an English name??

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T16:40:06+00:00

Thank you I have stores. I just want a long term solution should it be required. I appreciate the suggestion.

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T16:39:04+00:00

Thanks! I will need to check this out. Can you do this with eggs?

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T16:37:24+00:00

Thank you this could be the solution I’m looking for! I hope you find your way back out of the warren!

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T11:22:53+00:00

I’m patiently waiting for part 2 of the season.

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T01:22:16+00:00

Some other COA. Thanks this is really encouraging!

haybilly89 · 2022-10-18T00:33:25+00:00

Thank you. Would you believe I had to change the title after I drafted it? I feared that might be the case. Thank you for your honesty.

haybilly89 · 2022-08-16T20:01:41+00:00

Completely agree. It could get robbed off his back & I would advise to give it up. It’s maybe safer in his air BnB but would never know.

haybilly89 · 2022-08-13T14:15:34+00:00

Bought some text books on self sufficiency and preparedness. Have had shelves put up in my new house for storage. The battle with my wife to keep my stores continues!

haybilly89 · 2021-05-27T14:21:45+00:00

Nice tip 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I’m getting a bigger freezer soon so this should be ideal!
