Silent Earth
A True Doomsday Prepper
Just ordered 6 of the British version of MRE packs the 24 hour ration pack, its mainly made up of boil in bags stuff, I still prefer the old style ration Packs 24HR but they are no longer available.
I like having multiple ways of defense, and the fact you don't need bullets is a big plus for a bow. If hard pressed you could make your own arrows in a pinch. I haven't seen a recurve for sale in ages, but wouldn't mind adding it to the list.Oddly enough Brent we bought six Barnett Banshee Quads from our local dealers because they were only £45 each, it means we had a bow each plus a spare each that can be stored strung and used on demand. These budget compounds are now tasked for home security with our Take Down Recurves reserved for hunting after TSHTF.
So it is possible to own a gun in England?Well because I refuse to put myself on official registers I do not have access to fire arms so I and my family have to be more creative,
Compounds have to stand in for Carbines
Recurves replace Rifles
Air Rifles have to stand in for the ubiquitous 22
Take Down recurves are quite popular among British preppers , Alloy or Laminated wood riser plus two QD Limbs) In folded up form my bow in my GHb is only 2 ft long plus 30 arrows (alloy or glass fibre shafts)
Modern Compounds are wonderful tools often under 30 inches long axle to axle with adjustable draw weights from 15 to 45 pounds, absolutely ideal for use in most families. Silent and deadly.
Hell yes there is millions of rifles and shotguns legitimately owned in the UK, but unlike the US you have to be approved by the police for a FAC , they can now apparently call unannounced in any time they like to inspect your guns and how they are stored. you are strictly limited to the amount of ammo you can keep at home, all very socialist and Orwellian. The only real certainty in the UK is that every time the police are given new powers they always abuse them.So it is possible to own a gun in England?
Maybey it was handguns that i heard about being completely banned. Well, at least there is a way to still legally own a shotgun, as it's my favorite weapon anyways. I recently got a conceal permit to legally carry, and agree that I wasnt happy about being on a national list either.Hell yes there is millions of rifles and shotguns legitimately owned in the UK, but unlike the US you have to be approved by the police for a FAC , they can now apparently call unannounced in any time they like to inspect your guns and how they are stored. you are strictly limited to the amount of ammo you can keep at home, all very socialist and Orwellian.

Thanks, that metal roofing is wonderful stuff. Even here it gets hot in the summer, but we have much colder winters. I may cut a sliding door down low in the back to ventilate next summer. I just moved the bunnies to the high side of the garden, figured the fertilizer ended up mostly there anyways. I saw them tonight and they looked pretty hot still, so I need to put up some shade cloth ASAP. That area gets a lot of afternoon sun still.Nice lookin' dog house. Reminds me now that I could basically use the same material roof idea...like I did for the bunny hutches.
Here in FL, I have to have a lot of ventilation for my planned dog house, or will get too hot. Nice idea for winter on the door.
