Dear MNHQ could we have a new Topic please?

105 replies

Stratter5 · 21/03/2015 12:20

We'd like a Survival/Prepper topic please, if that's possible. Somewhere where we can discuss prepping, techniques, exchange ideas, etc. Not just for the Zombie Apocalypse, a serious topic where we can collate our plans and ideas.

Many thanks

Lots of love

Stratters Wine

Is that in the UK? (As in mega-tsunami - eg due to a flank collapse of the Cumbre Vieja ?)

Getting back to the topic, I was sent a link to a video from the local civil defence which shows a map of tsunami danger zones.

Those most in danger are in red, then a bit further out yellow and further pale yellow.

My house is in the red zone. We've been told that should the tsunami sirens go off, we'll have only 15 minutes to evacuate. (Tsunami sirens? Why did no-one tell me we had them?)

I really need a grab and go kit for us all sorted.

Oh fuck it, I give up with links. Google it if you're interested.

I would use risotto as emergency brick filler. Or grouting. That's how good my risotto is.
Kind of in keeping with this thread, has anyone played a game called Bucket of Doom? Saw it Comicon a few weeks ago and thought it looked good for giving quick-thinking-with-minimal-supplies training Smile.

MidnightDinosaur · 07/04/2015 00:06

Would risotto be helpful in a powercut?

I can't even get it right with power, never mind without.

If we are given a new topic, I'd just like confirmation that paella will be a banned subject.

What about risotto? Grin

I lost my dignity when dc's arrived,so I'm fully prepared to grovel pitifully.

MidnightDinosaur · 03/04/2015 10:50

Please please Flowers Cake Wine (but not to much Flowers Cake & Wine I do still need some for my survival prep)

ThatBloodyWoman · 03/04/2015 10:13

Dunno, but I'd like my little nest sorted. Just in case. If MN survives, all the better - at least I'll have someone to talk to Grin

So basically we think that MN is going to survive Armagedon. Thank goodness at least we will have something to do before we perish in the eternal fires

@BeyondDoesBootcamp

Maybe we need to spam all of the boards with various threads about armageddon, so others say "pleeeease can they have their own topic so we can hide it "? Wink
Hmm

All sorts you could do with that stratters

Which garden birds are the tastiest and so on.

Frogs legs - best way to cook.

How to make garden snails as good as escargots.

Etc etc

Heh, see woodlice would be a suitable substitute for prawns. We were discussing gannets, and how fishy they taste. I suggested gannet paella, with woodlice.

I could start a Post Apocalypse Recipe Thread.

OP posts:
Notrevealingmyidentity · 25/03/2015 00:13

Ah must have missed the woodlouse paella. Woodlice are crustaceans so it's practically the same right ?

I love non seafood paella. Hmm. Interesting thought.

MidnightDinosaur · 25/03/2015 00:11

My iPad doesn't like wood l i c e and keeps changing it to woodlouse. I'm sure a single would be fine, with paella or without. Extra protein and all that. Grin

MidnightDinosaur · 25/03/2015 00:08

What's right with paella, even without the woodlouse.
