A UK prepping site researching, discussing and planning for the world this may become when the lights go out, chaos reigns.... and the fires burn.

Category Equipment

These are the When The Fires Burn posts and articles about equipment useful to prepping.  Some of these are also linked to the various kit bags categories (EDC, BOB, GHB etc) but a lot of gear is either useful as part of every day preps as well as  being part of a carry, or it is only of use for prepping itself or in the event of bugging in.

These posts consist of links, information, videos or reviews of a wide variety of equipment and covering all categories of prepping including, food, water, shelter, cooking, bushcraft, tools and so on.
