  What&apos;s the ONE thing you believe every British household should have or know before an emergency? <br>Not the most expensive. <br>The ONE thing that would make the biggest difference if normal life suddenly stopped working for a few days. <br>For me, I think having a plan is just as important as having supplies. <br>I&apos;m genuinely interested to see what everyone chooses, because some of the best preparedness knowledge comes from people with real-life experience. <br>👇 Put your ONE choice in the comments.

  You can&apos;t start a prepping video saying &quot;i&apos;m shooting from my flat&quot;, that by itself fails at basic prepping. Then &quot;we rely on infrastructure&quot;, really? Prepping is for when they fail.

  All depends what you are prepping for doesn’t it…grid down? Civil war? Nuclear threat? Natuaral disaster? You can never be prepared for everything but having some basic kit and knowledge is key at end of day, never hurts to have back up plans at home never depend on the Goverment or others to help or come save you

  &quot;When a system collapses, paper currency, standard coins, and luxury brand names lose all value. In a true crisis, survival trade requires physical gold and silver, assets with intrinsic, tangible worth.&quot; so cash may not be worthles!

  One thing that many wish they had more of in disaster is buckets. Store them, carry things, loo replacement, water use, washing or clothes washing. Sickness. Buckets are useful.

  If you want to survive, move into a densely wooded area with your provisions already in place and preferably under several tarps, a wood burner that doesn&apos;t give away your location in a tent and tarped off area. &nbsp;And rotate your entrances times and exits. You don&apos;t want people knowing your movements. &nbsp;You don&apos;t want to attract attention. &nbsp;Be mindful that burning a wood burner also is smelly and smokey and can attract wanderers. &nbsp;Try not to burn it during the day...Beware of people with DOGS. &nbsp;Dogs are a big menace (Or a great help) Either way, be aware. Always utilize everything. &nbsp;Burn your toilet paper and crap. Put Roasting potatoes in your fire. ALWAYS keep essentials like flour, salt and dried pulses, chickpeas, lentils, etc. Use your tarp to collect water. &nbsp;Have a bucket. Make sure you have rocks and logs for protection. And if you must, attack the old and frail and rob their homes. If you resort to cannibalism. Remember that children (Like Lambs) are the best and easiest target. &nbsp;Grown adults and difficult to kill and cook.

  The ability to stay in touch with family and friends, perhaps through walkie-talkies or Mashtastic?! if they don&apos;t live &quot;around the corner&quot;.

  Well, if something went seriously wrong, I wouldn’t want to live anyway. I don’t want to live in a world where people will be tramping over each other and be willing &nbsp;to kill to feed themselves ,because that’s what people will do i, f they ever got to like her apocalypse type thing I will just not want to be around. Thank you because people are very very selfish especially these days I’m 66 years old ,soon and when I see how people are now I hate it. I’m one of the people that stops on the pavement to let people who won’t go in single file go past and then not to be thanked. I’m the person that picks up other peoples dog mess. I’m the person that picks up rubbish. I’m the person that does stuff for my neighbours in fact I’m one of the people that people come to when they’ve got a problem where I live ,I always try and help other people but unfortunately though a lot of people from my generation are like that ,I don’t see many people being brought up that way these days and you only have to see different disasters now and you actually see the people trampingall over &nbsp;other people to get away from something Like when people were trying to hang off of aeroplanes they were just pushing other people out the way I don’t want to live in a world like that you’re all welcome to it if that’s how the world becomes if you’re talking about power cuts for &nbsp;two or three days or whatever I’ve lived through many of those in my lifetime and I could cope easily, &nbsp;I have an old-fashioned food cupboard. I wouldn’t starve for a few weeks but I don’t want to live where everybody’s out &nbsp;for themselves ! People would be breaking in trying to steal everything you’ve got it would just be mass fear and chaos no thank you if things started turning like that I’d certainly take my own way out and you’d all be welcome to the world ! It’s miserable went off at the moment where people can only afford to buy anything or live thanks to the government so to live with people looting that type of thing what would be the point who’d want to we’re not all mad Max are we?
