Similar to another EDC of mine from earlier this year, but hey, it's what I'm using. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Frankly, with how grim the weather has been here in the UK, I'm quite happy to just stay at home puffing my pipe. Everyday Carry Item Breakdown Coffee Tin Nescafe Azera Used for storing pipe tobacco.

What Survival & Prepper Gear Would You Buy In a Dollar Store?
Really curious about this one because obviously, it's not past me to look for deals when it comes to buffing up a prepper stockpile, and obviously I happily go the cheap items on Amazon route often when it comes to gear - so why the heck not buy dollar store items to prep or add to a survival kit when they're really worthwhile?

A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to a feeling I hadn't experienced in over a decade. As a kid I had mild asthma, and to suddenly feel my breathing become constrained - the start of a very mild asthma attack - was a real wake up call for me. I had almost forgotten that I used to have respiratory issues, and whilst my own problems with breathing were sporadic in nature (triggered by environment, ...
Are Your Family Members Supportive of Your Prepping?
When it comes to family members supporting preps, I feel like I've heard it all. At one end, you've got the prepper families where each individual takes prepping seriously, and each member of the family works together toward the end goal of being more prepared. At the other end, you have individuals whose families really don't get prepping and ostracize them, making them feel like the black sheep ...
