We were wondering what we would do too. We came up with:
1) Straight down to the nearest gunsmiths (and I know where it is) for some shot guns and ammo. Both for protection and for shooting game. Also get some air rifles whilst there along with moulds to make your own pellets.
2) Go to the Landrover dealers and pick up a nice new LWB Defender (the crew cab in this weeks episod was a good idea). Preferabley one fitted out with expedition gear.
3) Pick up a generator.
4) Raid the chemists for painkillers and antibiotics.
5) Water purification equipment. Some of the flasks with microfilters from good camping shops at least.
6) Find a nice farm house with an Arga or other solid fuel fired heating that doesn't rely on an electric pump.
7) Raid the supermarket and then head for the hills. Hope to find a farmer. Visit a country library - they really are packed with books about keeping pigs and so on. At least the ones round here are.
Get some dogs. For use as guard dogs and to warn you of feral dogs.
That's interesting you cant have eight bracket without it being a smiley.
