The purpose of this channel is to promote prepping and survival to those that have an interest. I enjoy fishing, camping and "nature" in general.
Forums may be a little retro for some people but they do hold a wealth of information and you get to interact with likeminded people. Why not register and partake in "prepping" subjects? Alternatively why not visit UK Resilience for disaster preparedness advice? No need to register, just visit the site and browse. The links to both are below.
Thank you for your interest in my channel.

My EDC survival kit is called the ‘OLOK psk’ (One Litre, One Kilo), it is desighned as a ‘stuck outside overnight in bad weather here in Montreal, Canada’, it is like an extension of your kit (+ emergency poncho, fixed blade knife, neoprene gloves, …). I like small prepping items so I would add a pre-threaded sewing needle sealed in a straw (includes mini paperclip+mini safety pins) and a stick of lip balm (many survival and first aid uses), mine is a moisturising version with SPF 15 from Nivea so can even be used as emergency sunscreen. It can even help keep you warm, cold+dry winter air will suck moisture from exposed skin, making you colder (like sweating in summer), rub some lip balm on exposed skin to reduce this. Show you love wildlife, hug a porcupine today !
Thanks for watching, enjoy your day 👍
All guid bud. Cannae really fault anything. Ye covered most bases
Thanks mate, enjoy your day.
You got a subscriber. Sound advice.
Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching, it's appreciated 👍
One item overlooked is location. If in the NW highland of scotland what is deemed prepping is normal to the inhanbitants, when the nearesr basic shop is mles away. Very different to an inhabitant of a high rise in London, who may feel mobility for bugging out dictates actions taken.
Absolutely, location is key but for many you only have the cards to play with that you're dealt with. Cheers for watching and enjoy your day 👍
Consider getting a radio which has solar, battery and wind-up recharging. I have one which has all of those options plus a flashlight at one end, and an orange flashing light for emergencies at the other. It cost me £25 online and is very sturdy. In your first aid kit include the following dressings: Bactigras and Inadine. These will help to avoid infections. It is best to get both kinds because Inadine contains iodine and not everybody can tolerate iodine on an open wound. For weeping wounds get a calcium alginate dressing such as Kallostat or Cutiderm. These will help stop wounds from weeping excessive moisture which may inhibit wounds healing. Ensure that you have some micropore or silicone tape because not everybody can tolerate ordinary plasters. Also include some Neosporin as a topical antibiotic option. The aim is, wherever possible, to avoid wound infections. As an alternative to gas-powered burners consider gel burners. Luminaire brand has solid fuel canisters which last six hours. A pack of six costs around 20 pounds. There is nothing that can go wrong with the gel burners. There is no mechanism that can fail or gas canisters that can fail. All you need is the gel canister, the little stove to drop it into and a box of matches. We have two Coglan folding camping stoves. They are made of solid steel and can hold a heavy saucepan. The gel fuel comes in a tin with a screw-on lid. Take the lid off, slide it into the front of your Coglan, close the door and away you go. The fuel is solid and inert until you light it. The Coglans we have are about 7 inches square and 6 inches deep. The construction ensures that the flame is protected from wind. They cost about a tenner each. You can get yourself set up with two stoves and 36 hours of cooking time for under £40.
Thanks for watching and your suggestions 👍. Enjoy your day, take care.
There is no "bugging in" it's shelter in place. Bugging out is Military slang for quick move. Just an fyi. Great vid though.
I've read the book. It's called Bugging In, but it's just works, almost as stupid as all the rest of the Preppers lingo 😂😂😂 Enjoy your day.
@@p2snetwork Well just a history lesson. Just because there's a book called "Bugging in" doesn't make it correct. It means a preptard ran with an incorrect term. Democrats do it all the time. What if someone called an an Army MASH unit a MOSH unit, still a term, but still incorrect.
Great vid. With mobility issues, free up her hands. Get a simple head flashlight, makes it easy for her getting around in the dark.
Thanks for the suggestion, enjoy your day 👍
You definitely want to stay away from police stations if you're a lone female walking home ... nobody knows how many undiscovered wayne couzens ' Are still in the police force waiting for an opportunity ...
A lot more dangerous civilians if you crunch the numbers
I love the simplicity of this, it's really clear, thank you. That's some really good points about allotments, cemeteries and even golf clubs having taps where you can get fresh water - I suppose, if there was a regional emergency, I might put a purifying tablet in there still, but its liable to be a lot better quality than a pond or canal etc. Nice one! The wariness around demonstrations, especially given that there could be an emergency going on, is also very valid.
Thanks ever so much. Enjoy your day and take care 👍
Well thought out and presented Alan. I'd throw in a sweat towel or the like but then I'm a sweaty so & so but handy for wiping rain off your face too. Also if the bag is in the back of the car maybe a couple of walking poles if you're potentially covering a bit of distance. Any blow back on the Pooh tin ??
+1;on the sweat rag mate, in this weather I sweat like a 🐖. Nothing from Peckerhead, yet 😂😂👍
I'm from the wrong side of the pond. What's a Tom?
A lady of the night, prostitute.
Micky? Scrow? Seriously you need subtitles.
@@scottjohndonlan Mickey or taking the Mick is the same as are you taking the piss... Scrote is a derogatory term for a low level criminal, scrote comes from scrotum. In future I'll try and stick with the Kings English 😂 Enjoy your day and thanks for watching 👍
How very dare you,not yet 80 and say she’s knocking on a bit.!!!
😂😂😂😂😂👍
Good video, with valuable info 👍
Cheers Terry, enjoy your day 👍
Great video and very valid points. I'm a bit more than middle aged and walk with a stick due to arthritis. I still go camping as I refuse to give up. My day bag is a very ordinary looking 15l pack which is set up as a get home as well. Water, electrolytes, meds, umbrella and raincoat, gloves and hat etc - never without it. The car has basic camp kit, food and stove plus 4l of water at all times. Thanks for all the tips.
You sound well prepared 👍 Thanks for watching, it's appreciated. Enjoy your day.
Pooh + Tin 😂😂😂 Solid vid.
Thanks for watching 👍😂
One thing to bear in mind if you travel by public transport or car is that the road may not have pavements all the way. First time I had to walk home which was to snow I had to do a massive dog leg as couldn't follow the road as it was a motorway. Subsequently found a much more direct route. All the points you make are very valid particularly about underpasses. Keep up the good work
Good point, lots of snow can make it very difficult to see what's under foot. Thanks for watching, it's appreciated 👍
What a nice man you are!
Thank you and thanks for watching, it's appreciated 👍
That's not nice .that's standard what pple should be doing for their parents
@@Dredd-od2xs let's hope that people do it. Enjoy your day 👍
I love visiting the UK. Have friends in Bristol and Egham. Love visiting London. London and Cambridge may be two of my fave places. Want to visit York.
It's a lovely town. Thanks for watching 👍
A fire proof/water proof docs pouch would be a nice add and a good way to keep your docs together. I like the idea of a notebook with important phone numbers. A shemagh would be a cool add. A med pouch is a must-have. Also a contractor trash bag is good for wet things. Honestly a poncho should be a must......gotta stay dry.
Thanks for the suggestions and for watching. It's appreciated 👍
Subscribed. Hope to see many more videos on your channel.
Thank you for the support, it's appreciated. Enjoy your day 👍
Good morning [Oz time] this is the most commonsense prep video I have watched. Perfect for the average person in the event of an emergency event like storms or whatever. Our state government has a similar list on their website. And every storm season the government broadcast messages about a having a minimum of three days of food & water. But every season you still see the numpties fighting over the last loaf. I am impressed with the instant porridge; I am looking for that when I am the shops. The only thing I would add for your Mum is the instant heat packs for hand warming, most pharmacies have them here. Cheers, great video and I have subscribed 👍
Hi Andrew and thank you for the kind words. Heat pads are a good idea, have a box of Lil Hotties somewhere. Enjoy your day and thanks for the sub, it's appreciated 👍
You need more water way more for cleaning. Also weapons. Than again im in america. Im worried for you guys across the pond.
It's for my almost 80 year old mum. Did you not watch it? And I agree, the Benelli will deal with most vermin but I'd love an AR. Oh but wait, it's the UK, we don't have every Tom, Dick and Harry running about with a shooter... Enjoy your evening.
@p2snetwork she still has to keep clean was my original point. And as far as the pew pews good luck. All the people living there that hate you and your country have real pew pews stocked away. Good luck. Pretty sure you know what i mean.
@@bobg3633 the kit is for a 3 - 4 incident. For short term she doesn't need to shower daily. Of course, she may or may not have 300 litres plus in the water butts. The reality is that there are far more legitimate firearms holders in the UK then perhaps you realise. And with respect, I've lived in the UK for 57 years and have a pretty good idea of what it's really like. Take care and stay safe 👍
I love this addition of a letter! Really nice touch!
Thank you, have a great day 👍
I'm building boxes up for our 3 children and I've even ordered them fire extinguishers for multi fuel fires and fire blankets. As we all live within a short walking range I've also put them walkie talkies, radio, water filtration systems and tablets among many other things. Paper plates, bowls and cups that can be burnt if need be along with bamboo disposable cutlery for short term use.
That's excellent 👍 Well done for giving them a helping hand. Thanks for watching and enjoy your day.
That's brilliant. A lot of thought went into personalising that for your mum. If we all were able to do that for 1 person in our lives that would be such a great achievement.
Cheers Craig, enjoy your day 👍
Hi very thoughtful of you thinking of your Mum 😀 and a nice basic easy to use kit great job 👍
Cheers Allan, enjoy your day 👍
A lovely idea. Thank you for sharing with us. May I make one suggestion. Test the lights with your Mother to make certain that they are strong enough for her to read by. A simple battery powered reading light for medicine labels was required for my Father.
Thank you and will do. Enjoy your day and thanks for watching, it's appreciated 👍
Nice that you thought about your mum and put together a kit for her. My parents alas are no longer with us, but about a year ago I put together a kit for my son, his wife and child - with the instruction to rotate the food. What actually happened is they ate all the food and didn't replace it, so they are as unprepared as they were before. They just do NOT see the potential SHTF events in the world that I see so clearly.
Oh dear, sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching, its appreciated 👍
We need sensible people out there 🦒🦒
Cheers for watching and enjoy your day 👍
That was a touching video, makes me think of what my own Mum might of thought about this prepping lark, I'm sure she would of been into it if she was still alive. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers David, take care mate 👍
Hej Matey, always love your vids and common sense info. Sadly my dad and mum have passed away, but this is what i would of made up for them also. It means that they have some sort of back up if and when needed, Have a nice weekend and be safe out in numpty world (Y)
Sorry to hear that mate. Thanks for watching, and you stay safe too 👍
I like your video I would add a flask so you can save a bit off gas .and cuppa soup and crackers 😊
I'm pretty sure my Mum already has a flask but good idea all the same. Thanks for watching, enjoy your day 👍
Lovely video Alan. Are those food items she would normally eat? Love the letter idea. I’d need one in 14 font and in bold! 😆. If it was my son writing it I wouldn’t decipher a word 😆🥰🤗
Yes and no. She doesn't eat many tinned products day to day. Come to think of it, neither do I. However, if it's all there is, it's eat or be hungry. I know the prepping term is store what you eat, eat what you store but that isn't 100% possible.
The letter is a nice touch Alan. I gave my mum one of those stoves for emergencies and got her to practice with it from time to time. She still had her marbles but could be forgetful so I think it helped.
Good stuff, everyone needs to practice. Cheers for watching and enjoy your Sunday 👍
Great Kit! Nice touch with the letter.
Cheers mate. Enjoy your day 👍
i bought some of those LED lanterns on eBay and i advise everyone NOT to use lithium batteries in them - i put energizer ultimate lithium batteries in them and after about 50 minutes i noticed the batteries had heated up to a dangerous level too hot to handle in fact! replaced them with alkaline batteries and no problem. also they tend to deplete one battery (out of 3) first so when the lamp appears to need the batteries replacing test each one and you will find that 2 of them are fine and only one needs replacing.
Thanks for the advice, and cheers for watching. Enjoy your day 👍
That's a lovely kit! I love that personal touch with the letter! The only thing I would switch out would be one of the mini lighters for a stick lighter. Lighting these stoves can be a bit scary when ones fingers are so close to the burner, especially when the person operating the stove is unfamiliar with it. All the best from Germany
Thank you for the kind words, they are appreciated. I'll investigate the lighter option. Enjoy your day and stay safe 👍
Excellent video - succinct and to the point, no sh!te and silliness.
Ta muchly 😁 enjoy your day 👍
Hello from Sweden. Here in Sweden we have to prepp for at least 7 - 10 days.
Hello Sweden. That's a good time frame really. I've always said however, that if disaster strikes the UK and no help comes within 12 hours, it's potentially not coming at all. Thank you for watching and enjoy your day 👍
Very good idea, I will make some of these for my close non-prepping relatives... It might even get them started...
Excellent idea 👍 Thanks for watching, it's appreciated. Enjoy your day.
What’s missing, you got your bag, you got your phone I hope, or your computer, or IPad, and a charging setup for your electronics, I would add that, and a few power packs, then family documents, house documents, insurance and financials, copies of which you should definitely have in your run kit, don’t forget cash in small bills, more AA, and AAA batteries, your area may suffer a power outage. Never leave home without a good knife, or multi tool, and a means of fire, I would add a bigger trauma kit, and the set of rescue shears.
Cheers for the suggestions and thanks for watching 👍
Loved Dad but he deserted us for the bar n beer. 25 brers avg day for 12 yrs retail thats $140000 he completely changed from how he was when i was 6 till 47. My job was to get groceries n they gave me a list n a check. Id get 3 extra cans a week n hide them. In 1975 there were 7 adults n a 4 yr old living at our house w only Dads 1 A&P pay. Ee eere broke with 4 days to go till Dads next pay he wanted to get a $500 bank loan. Mom said its only 4 days y so much. He said hed carry the money bla bla bla. He wanted it so he vould get more beer n buy his bar family beers m flash it atound like a big shot. Thats when i disclosed the food id stored. Beans potatoes corn meat apple sauce n so on. It daved yhe day He eas livid. So no bank loan. For a month every week hed check the teceipt snd the list n the cans n where if stored it b4. I kept it up 3 a week but hid elsewhere. He said dont evrr do that again n if he knew i did thay hed thrown it out on the street. Please dont drink or smoke or do frugs as every penny u waste isfood from uour familys mouths. Br frugal n Pray
Thanks for your input and for watching. Stay safe and enjoy your day 👍
Hi mate, people need to remember what happened in the first few days of lockdown, the shelves in alot of places emptied overight whith people panic buying. Having a good stock of tinned food that can be eaten cold if no method of heating is available, will keep you going . A clean supply of water will be your main problem, as we need at least 3ltres a day to keep healthy, that doesn't include cooking dry goods, or trying to keep clean. Having 3days food and water in stock , and that's each persons supplies, is better than nothing if there's a break in the supply chain, but it doesn't take much imagination to realise what happens when that's gone if resupply is held up, makes you think don't it. Thanks for the video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.
Cheers Stuart, 3 days really is the absolute, bare minimum for staying put preps. Cheers for watching and for your input. Enjoy your evening 👍
Cheers mate good video, just bought this pack for the same reason you have it
It's a good bag, should serve you well. Cheers for watching and enjoy your evening 👍
All of your gear looks “brand new” as if it’s, NEVER BEEN USED. Surely there should be some wear and tear, if it is EDC?🤔
It's not edc, I'd look a Doris carting that lot about everyday. And with the exception of the poop scoop all of it's probably close to 10 year's old 😂 Thanks for watching and have a great evening 👍 The HT micro FAK has been pocket carried 5 days a week for a couple of years. The Viperade pouch about 18 months, the SAK 2;years on its second set of scales and the Fenix coming upto 3 years. The rest, IE contents of the Snugpak are not EDC. I had to look to see what vid you were critiquing 👍
@@p2snetwork All my 10 year old gear looks beat up. How often do you actually use it? Maybe take it out once a year to make a video with it? I first noticed how “new” things were, when I saw that baseball cap, it looks pristine. You haven’t been wearing that for 10 years mate🤣
Perhaps I'll video my under crackers next time. Have fun 👍
@@p2snetwork lace lingerie, no doubt😂
As all British telephone landlines are supposedly going digital I’m not sure there will be any access to telephone communication. Heather

Hej Great Tips. I use a pair of old tights, not used , hehehe this takes out the majority of bigger particles like leaves and other small debris going into my water butt.
Excellent idea 👍. Thank you for watching, it's appreciated. Enjoy your evening
Or a piece of sponge if tights aren't available :)
Well said Alan. Bravo.👏💯

I just found you. 61yo F from Aust and this is the only channel I've found that is remotely relatable to us. Good common sense info without the bloody endless bang sticks and pew pews. Loving the female inclusion as well. Please get your mojo back quickly because all of we Commonwealth Women need you. THANK YOU.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching, much appreciated 👍
As ever, a great vid mate. As you say,, water ain't sexy but try getting by without it ! Maybe because I had a container of water in my room as a kid that was about 3 years old when I drank it at 17 with a hangover, I've never got the whole preciousness about water. I keep 7 25l drums as a nominal weeks worth of fresh water and while I will change it soon, it'll be fine if I don't and it was sometime last summer that I refilled them. I've the same Berkefeld set up with 6 spare candles in total (so ner ner ner ner ner 😝) although you're ahead of me on the Sawyers as I haven't upgraded my 3 Mini's to Squeeze's. If you're getting double the flow then that is potentially good if its going to be a primary filtration system at home as opposed to a dude in the woods. I've been content with them although I also have a different system (its bigger and better in fairness but its.... bigger so not great for that wild camping stuff). A quick trip down Internet memory lane suggests its a Survivor Filter Pro plus a load of spares for it. As you say, there are plenty options. I've got a fish pond in my garden with roughly a thousand litres of water and its manky but its still a thousand litres of water, assuming you can purify it. 😁
Cheers mate, doubt the fish would be happy if you stole their water 😂 Enjoy what's left of your weekend 👍
Mate, If I'm drinking their water, I 'm scranning them too. We had some pretty big gold fish but a heron got them at the start of lockdown and we replaced them with 5. Last summer we drained the pond and we were up to 19 I think. None would hit the barbie but give it time........
