I've had to deal with a few trolls and wacko's in my short time online, mostly for some reason British ones, I dont know why living on a smallish island brings out the numb nuts maybe they figure because its a small land mass that nowhere is safe here, I've had that said a few times but its wrong if you know where to look.

Absolutely mate, just watching them all line up to take the experimental shot, makes me sad we have so many snowflake sheeple in this country that just do what they are told.

However thousands of non sheeple are meeting up every weekend at local “A Stand in the Park" meetings, forming action groups, building a network, listing like minded companies, sharing information etc etc etc. Last Sunday I met two pureblood paramedics at a meeting and learnt a lot.

You could also try the UK newspaper called "The Light".

Its not all glass 80% empty in the UK.

Is it worth going back and reading this thread

Is it worth going back and reading this thread

Being new to the forum and having just read through. The guy called Dropship was as entertaining as he was delusional.

I'm still unsure if he was trolling or stupid.

 

[Amish Heart]

He was entertaining. The first person that I've personally heard about that thinks they're a prepper because of their video games. Never thought someone would believe that. Since then, I've heard a youtuber talk about it, and other commenters talk about it. I understand that not everyone is a prepper that says they are, but this guy really believed he was a prepper because of the video games.

I think you're mistaken, he's a hard-core post apocalyptic survivalist... not a prepper,

Ha Ha Ha
You're so funny

Hello. I'm new here. I'm UK based in Dorset. Anyone else near me? I feel a bit cut off here and am surrounded by normalcy bias.

 

[Holly1]

Mate, if people didn't discuss their plans there'd be no such thing as prepper/survivalist discussion forums!
For examp, this Doomsday Hall discussion has run to 6 pages so far (pages 6-11) and my posts have scored 27 'Likes', and people have been contributing their ideas to it, so if i wasn't here those 6 pages would be just blank pages.

Okay people, the next thing up for discussion is what to do with our pee and poo, should we simply do it in buckets and sling it in the river outside the Hall to be carried away by the current, or should we drop it in cesspits then shovel it out and use it to fertilise our veg plot? (below).
Would anybody mind eating stuff that has been grown in human *****?

You want to pollute the river with human faeces? Not a good plan. Urine can be diluted 10-1 and used as a fertiliser for plants. Human faeces should never be used to grow food crops as the probability of transmitting infectious disease is too great. You make composting toilets well away from food stock and use the mulch to trees for fuel only.
As for Doomsday Hall and digging trenches ... erm ... why not just use a castle with a moat? There are plenty of those in the UK too.
You'd probably know this if you spent more time outdoor, tbh.

Hi
I am Dorset based, near Poole.
Am part of a Stand in the Park group which meets in Poole Park on Sundays and most Thursday nights in a pub in Lytchett.

Hi Edmunde. Thank you for the reply. I'm near Wimborne, so not too far at all. I know Lytchett pretty well. Perhaps we can Pm and maybe meet up at some stage? It would be so nice to have a like-minded friend nearby as I am surrounded by snoozies out here lol

North Devon here.

 

[Holly1]

So just wondering if there are another preppers in the uk other than me nd me best mate (who's not on this forum yet) if there are whats your plans (rough ones lol) so if tsdhtf us fellow preppers might be able to join forces

Send me a PM - I'd be glad to chat, mate. A lot of folks here seem twitchy at best about getting in touch but last long as lone wolf or small group types. Safety in numbers, dude, but like-minded folks are almost impossible to find irl. Many of us are surrounded by the sleepy types.

Have a great day.

The surge suppressor sounds good. I’ve got a wind up radio and torch but haven’t got round to putting them in a faraday cage. Didn’t know you could use a cake tin. I’ve seen some convoluted ones online but took up too much space, cake tin is ideal. Can you buy emp proof solar panels? Thinking a small one for the garden would be best rather than the roof as I couldn’t afford it and would worry it wouldn’t be protected enough.

Any small electronic device can be put in a microwave to prevent emp. Anything bigger - build your own Faraday cage as it is much cheaper.

 

[Holly1]

Thanks, but when i went into our local airsoft shop a couple of years ago and expressed an interest in buying one, they said something like "sorry we're not allowed to sell to the general public, only to legit airsoft club members" so I had to drop the idea.
This is Britain so I suppose our gun laws also apply to anything that looks like a real firearm, heck we can't even buy blank-firing guns or camping knives or pepper sprays (but i think we can buy air guns).
i'll pop into the shop again next time I'm in town to see if the laws have changed, and i'll also google around..

PS- my dad brought back a couple of real guns from WW2 and I can remember him showing them to me when I was about 5, they were square and chunky so I suppose they were 1911 Colt types, and they seemed very heavy, not a bit like the toy cowboy guns I was used to.
"Don't tell anybody I've got them" he said, so he must have known they were illegal.
Dunno if he had any ammo for them.
Years later I asked him if he still had the guns, but he said "What guns?" and said he didn't know what I was talking about.
When he'd gone off to work I searched the house from top to bottom looking for them without success, so I presume he'd dumped them.

I know this an very old thread but I only just read the earlier posts here. I really hope the Dropship guy taught his a£$hole to speak as what comes outta his mouth (brain, fingers) is just pure cr@p - how has he not poisoned his own self through his fumes? Dang!

Airsoft? Who gives a f about Airsoft? Who would even want an Airsoft tool? Sorry but my brain is in mega confusial!

"Blank-firing guns" are available - go read the legislation on the topic.
"Camping knives" - wtf is he even talking about? I can go and buy machete 'types' edged weapons from my local gun shop. I have a couple of diving knives (sometimes a stray rope or fishing nets gets caught around the inboard and you gotta get under the yacht to cut that stuff off - they are about 4 inches but I never carry them) and several full tang edged tools. FFS, I had a Ka Bar Becker BK-7 delivered by post to my home from overseas. If I want I can get a Katana or a fecking broadsword. There is zero problem with owning, one can't take the stuff out in public or carry them. This is a very big difference. Zero problem with obtaining as long as you are of age. I train daily with a full length beech Bokken (occasionally I catch parts of my body with it and it is only then that I am so glad that I do not own a decorative Katana) and my last mis strike put a hole in my door. This is a BEECH BOKKEN and not steel - for the slow of reading. Wood is fierce and I would not mess with it.
Is this guy 10 or something? If you have a photo driving licence you can order just about anything online that you might fancy - for indoor or decorative purposes.
"This is Britain so I suppose our gun laws also apply to anything that also looks like a real firearm" ... just WTAF! I could apply for a firearms licence and I would 100% get one. I don't want or need one here. There are much quieter ways. Personally I think if it all goes sideways the firearms owners will be getting the first knock on the door. I really hope I am wrong, but it is just a thought in the back of my mind. I'm surrounded by farmers who own the real deal but shotguns and rifles are a-okay here legally with a licence.
As for lookalikes ... I bought legally from our gun shop an CO2 weapon in the style of a Beretta (which resembles the piece used in Lethal weapon and Die Hard), I also interwebs purchased a Sig Sauer lookalike - also CO2 powered. Any trained fire arms officer 'should' be able to tell the difference but in reduced lighting tragic mistakes 'could' occur - this is why a responsible person does not take them out for a walk or mess around with them. These are used for indoor target practice only and they NEVER leave my home. I never have them on me either when I am about my home - they ARE locked away and as I said, there are much quieter methods.

I notice that our own homegrown Adonis - saviour to all us know nowts - says f all about bows. In the UK you are free to purchase long, recurve or compound without a licence. For now there is not a draw weight limit - if you have not yet, then think about grabbing one of 'em while they are still able to import them. If you have any bow queries PM me as I have done this for years.
Crossbows depending on certain factors may NOT be legal in the UK. Go look at the UK gov website and read all legislation very carefully.
Disclaimer: It is against UK law to hunt a wild animal using any bow. So never do that.
Dropship may be a glowie or he may be a basement dweller, either way neither will last very long.

FYI, this person hasn't been on here since 2013.

 

[Holly1]

Thanks pal, I'm still kinda new I hope they get in touch if they really are serious about survivalist mindset as it is somewhat different from prepping mindset.
Be well.

Dropship is an alias for Propwash aka Mick.

I have a small collection of knives and just this morning ordered a machete for a conversion project.

Cross bows are legal to own, they're illegal to hunt with same as any other bow as you mentioned.

Shotgun license is incredibly easy to get unless yo in have a conviction or medical (poor mental health) condition

Some of our antiquated weapon laws, such as prohibition of silencers, were because of poaching during the great depression. I suspect laws against hunting with bows may be because of poaching also.

 

[lonewolf]

its more to do with UK animal welfare laws to stop someone shooting an animal with a bow for fun.
bowhunting was made illegal in 1965.

That is what I said.
That would be a form of "poaching."

 

[lonewolf]

Which would be a form of "poaching."

I suppose in the strict definition of poaching that is true, but killing animals for fun is not my personal definition of poaching.
poaching to me is killing an animal for the pot or for profit.
I knew one or two poachers in a former life.

 

[DrHenley]

Poaching​

The illegal shooting, trapping, or taking of game or fish from private or public property.
