If something HUGE was to happen ..

[MaDuggar]

... how long could you survive with what you have in your house right now?

Do you have any tins/bottled water etc put away in case of a emergency?

Have been frealing myself out reading some wacky conspiray sites (all baging on about something huge happeneing in the next 2 weeks) - Im not be;lieveing it, but it has made me think that one day there could be an event and I probably would only last a week with my store cupboard!

Oh I see!

I was cleaning my Nans house today and found the walking stick my Grandad made for my Mum, it has a sword hidden inside it... my Nan said i may as well have it so i am now in possesion of a super weapon... woo and hoo

I think that makes you our leader Titsalinabumsquash. Or at least the leader of the New World Army!

I've just remembered! We have a sword! A real proper sharp cut yer head off type sword. Don't worry - it's not displayed over the fireplace or anything. Was going to sell it on Ebay but will definitely keep it for the time being. That's me sorted - on my neighbours posh horse, sword in hand. I'll be fine.

Also just remembered we have waders. They are like wellies that are attached to rubber dungarees. Very useful for emergency situations when you might need to, erm, wade.

Mwah ha ha i can't wait for a bit of sword action!!

Your Grandad made your Mum a walking stick with a sword hidden in it? OMG how cool is that

Hang on a minute though - we don't know why Titsalina's Mum needed a sword . Do we need to know more before annointing her as our leader???

I thought Mrs Bear was leader by default? I'm not sure it would be a good idea to upset someone who could potentially be in opposition to us.

She could be drumming up votes on NM right this very minute

I'm not sure why it has a sword in it to be honest, my Mum was the most gentle creature you could ever meet.

Is it cool though it looks just like a pso walking stick with a silver bit at the top, it is beautifully carved but then you whip the top off and voila a big shiney, sharp, sword!

I don't mind sharing leadership with MrsBear. :)

Okay, so maybe I was a bit premature naming her leader.

But it is a cool thing to have!

Her?!

I have a name... don't make me get my sword out...

Oh my word, he have turf & animals & everything ... we have gout ourselves an Mumsnet Ark!!

My Dad has a claymore!

Am waiting for official Mumsnet Survival List with great interest. Where does your DH stand on the subject of lacrosse sticks, GawainsLady? I think it is the only effective weapon I own.

I am insanely jealous of the walking stick sword :(

DBIL has an incredably powerfull crossbow but he is tight as a ducks arse... maybe if i slay him with my walking sword we could steal it then we have melee and range weponary in our arsenal.

Excellent idea

I offer up 2 shotguns, 2 airguns, various axes and saws, various whips and 2 polo sticks as weaponry.

Plus my driving skills. Anyone who knows me will attest to my ability to turn any car, even the humble Robin Reliant, into a lethal weapon.

Whips?

ROFL

I drive a Micra and i can make that pretty lethal at times to.

I have few Meat cleavers and a petrol chainsaw to chuck into the pile, so we have so far..

meat cleavers
crossbow
walking sword
another sword
lacrosse sticks
hockey sticks
shotgun
air rifle
axes
saws
leaf blower
hedge cutter
chainsaw

Anything else... any hand grenades lying about?

I know how to make a good molatov cocktail!?

I didn't see the Whips?

I have a dd. (and 3 ds's but I hear you're short on girls...)
I have been stocking up on all those 1/2 price tins of roses etc for christmas since, August is it? (do they know something?)
I will happily share them.
I am a good shot and can ride a horse.
I can skin/pluck and gut animals.
Dh is an electrician. Don't know if that's any good to you? (he is quite big though so might do the leg spread taking up too much room thing)
Am off to buy a corpse rake.
Am I in?

Whips

Oh yes, can throw in a full set of Wusthof knives, DPs chainsaw and welding equipment and the DDs hockey sticks. DP is also good with explosives (worked with them for years) and has access to large quantities of firearms via work.

Plus the warhorses obviously.

So are these horse whips or a Cat'o ninetails jobby?

Oh, my DH is an electrician, too. I guess they could mend generators etc once everything has gone tits up. And tinker with radios etc so we can listen to Radio 4 twittering happily on in its bunker. He's quite small so won't take up too much space but is excellent at heavy lifting and any simple household task that doesn't require independent thought. So washing floors fine, baking cakes totally out of the question.
