  1. "No need to worry about fuel for heating (it isn't cold enough), food (it grows everywhere all year round) or water (it rains a lot)."

    But wouldnt some kind of nuclear disaster destroy all that and block out the sun so nothing would grow and most everything contaminated ? same with a mega Volcanoe eruption, dust blocking the sun etc etc

    so cold would be a factor and nothing would grow for years. Have I got it wrong ? please enlighten me on the "what if's"

    Nuclear

    EMP

    Volcanoe/ other natural disasters

    Meteor impact

    Deadly virus

    what else ?

  2. As I understand it, "prepping" is preparing for some kind of event, one that will destroy the current structure of society and the services/infrastruture etc that we all enjoy and generally rely on, like electricity/water, law & order etc etc. Now, there is probably more to it but that's the gist of it.

    So, what exactly is it, that some or most of these "preppers" actually think is going to happen in their lifetime ?? that warrants the kind of extremes that some go to in their hoarding and prepping quest.?

    Are their concerns valid ?

    Is this what's called a "thread hijack"? whistling.gif

    No not at all, and I apologise if that's the impression given, I am genuinely curious about the subject and the motivations of the "preppers" smile.png

  3. We had a similar issue, old lady, old ways, didnt trust or believe anyone, and certainly wouldnt even know what a "cashiers cheque" was.

    Met at the Land Office, she signed, we paid cash, it was all video'd etc.

    You not worry carrying cash around ?

    Not at all, rural place, modestly hidden, no one could see it, not like it was "millions" where cash would become impractical and other ways would have to be explored.

    You havnt said what sort of amount is involved, so I can only relay my experience of a land purchase.
