A large bed of jerusalem artichokes would make a good source of survival food through the winter months they can be dug up at any time. Only trouble is theyre very 'wind' producing [fartichokes] so when huddled n hunkered down eating baked beans and artichokes, gassing oneself to death is likely

It's just methane, you can run a small generator off methane.
This and other helpful survival tips....

My kitchen's tins, dried pulses, packets etc is full, just in case. Plus I have lots of tins and dried foods in my bedroom.🧐

You'll be safe anyway, no one's going to drop a bomb on you as it looks like that's already been done to most of east Lancashire. 😂

My dad use to grow them, huge plants producing a small amount of fairly tasteless artichokes

Come armageddon I'd barely make it to the evening before I ran out of something. I reckon Stop'n'shop will still be open anyway- it's never shut.

Fennel seeds are your friends.

Five to six years, why'd you ask.

I was wondering if I should grind off the sell-by date on the cans and flog them on ebay.

What about a set of number dies and alter them that way?

Easy enough to get a shotgun licence. Well, it’s not easy but is achievable if rules are followed. A shotgun can be used for hunting and defence.

Point of order. Never admit to having anything ‘for defence’, as doing so is illegal.

 

[Punkawallah]

Do these people even venture beyond their own front door?

I can't imagine living with that level of paranoia. 🤷‍♂️

I take it you only buy one roll of toilet paper at a time? One days requirement for food? You only buy enough fuel for the car to the journey you are planning?

Some drugs are made in surprisingly small quantities, often measured in tens of grams per year. On top of that there is the limited shelf life of many drugs.

Fun fact. The US Army did a test of medicines it would throw away after their shelf life expired. It turned out they were still about 90% effective. Policy changed, money saved.

Come the fall of society, who will be upholding the law?

I thought you wrong-uns from the dark side of the pennines were supposed to stick together?

There is a massive difference between keeping enough of non-perishable goods to last a week or two, and deliberately having enough to last years, plus products that you will never use in normal circumstances, that you only have in order to cope with sudden loss of all normal services.
