Meet Cornwall’s Survivalist Prepping The Nation For An Apocalypse | This Morning

New advice from the government has said we should all have three days worth of tinned food and water in case of emergencies such as another pandemic, natural disaster or war. Today we’re meeting the people who are ahead of the curve and have already been stocking up on essentials for years, ‘just in case’. We speak to Lincoln Miles who owns the increasingly popular ‘Preppers Shop’ in Cornwall - stocking everything from Hazmat suits to gas masks and freeze-dried meals. Plus, mother-of-two Dr Sarita Robinson joins us in the studio to show us her stash of essentials such as chlorine tablets to purify rainwater, a ‘go’ bag packed for any scenario and several months of loo roll.

The lady has a wonderful west country accent! Such a joy to hear regional dialects ❤

[@Ytfytftyfghv]

I saw this lady talk at the bushcraft festival she was amazing. Explaining the psychology behind being a survivor or a victim. No scare mongering just facts x

[@Nicky-ki7gy]

Yes. Its all laughing until shxt hits the fan. Then its jaw dropping. Ps im a survivor of the earthquakes in Christchurch new Zealand. I was so thankful to be a prepper. Even then it took 5 years for insurance to pay for our home that got destroyed. Unbelievable life change experience

[@snapdragon2441]

First rule of being a prepper, never tell anyone you are a prepper!

[@Chaggy1978]

Spot on.

[@FunnyDodoBird-be5ob]

So you both a prepper then 🤔

[@kelvinsparks4651]

Don't stockpile or you'll be an instant target , just make sure you have what you need to gather from the wild .

Our grandparents and parents had gardens and canned food.just smart.theres always storms.stock up on water.food.meds.keep cash at home in case of electricity goes out you can't get money out of the bank.dont panic your camping.

Prepare. ❤✌🏼🙏🏼

Most important thing that all the bearded guys claiming to be Preppers. A biosuit, a gas mask, a respirator even an n95 mask does not work unless your clean-shaven. Of course if they went through the proper training was fit tested they would know this.

If only they sold something that helps get rid of a beard at short notice?

[@tvfun4516]

I love Josie. I wouldn't be surprised if there were men lining up around her block wanting to ask her our! I love the enthusiasm she brings, she's the ideal woman in so many ways. I always thought she should get the main gig after Holly left. Watching her interest in the prepping equipment has confirmed how great she is!

[@sherimillman53]

If you look throughout history we have always had "challenges", don't you mean War and deaths. Keep it real., because if and when it comes to it yes we have to be prepared, but there will be people who are scared, you cant say there is nothing to be scared about. Only the SAS know how to handle fear and have been trained at best.

That old military respirator does not fit that persons face so will provide absolutely zero protection. You can't just buy a respirator online, it has to be fitted to your face size and also have the canisters and DK powder to go with it.

[@markw1685]

Don't even bother with the way overpriced Dry food Will not last 25 years 10 a max and the amount of water needed to rehydrate is More than you can store. Just stick to cans Gas cooker with Spare cannisters And of cause Bog roll 2 weeks worth a min for Emergency And an off grid solar set up Not the Ones that are Made Make your own

[@alicejade3657]

So how did having a pandemic kit put her at an advantage? By making her rely on long-life foods while the rest of us were eating fresh supermarket food? I'm confused

[@mikumiku4u942]

Ransacking supermarkets gives her an advantage as people kept on taking tissues or baby food and even normal food so it was of no use to us.

[@dragonofhatefulretribution9041]

I have decades worth of nutrient-dense animal foods. Tinned cooked beef doesn’t degrade on a nutritional level & cooked beef contains all the nutrition a person needs. Pemmican was invented by the Native Americans and can be stored indefinitely. The Boers used it during the Boer Wars with the British and over the past few decades tinned pemmican rations left over from the Boer Wars were tested and found to not only be perfectly fine to eat but still contained a sufficient nutrient profile. Storing freeze-dried or dehydrated egg powder in a dark place or whey protein powder or even dried beef muscle or liver jerky is a superior and efficient form of prepper food stockpile. Tallow, clarified butter (“ghee”) and other stable saturated fats are all superior forms of long-term food preps that modern educated preppers are stockpiling, alongside fermented jarred vegetables and dried grains etc. If you’re not a prepper in [current diabolical political climate] then you lack foresight, wisdom and even basic common sense. Most people can see the writing on the wall even if they insist on pretending they can’t and continue to distract themselves from the dreadful forecast…

[@markw1685]

It stopped her having to go to supermarket Having a heathly supply of food already at home. To many people caught Covid shopping She's wasn't one of them

[@dragonofhatefulretribution9041]

@@markw1685 You can’t catch a work of fiction.. It was the solution to a non-existent problem that caused so many millions of fatalities across the 1st world. Why do you think the “non-legal” immigrants were given a free pass and not forced into the same procedure as the rest of us if the infection was so deadly? Rik Mayal will tell you in his last message before they made him pay the price for breaking his oath of silence…

[@alicejade3657]

@@markw1685 to clarify, I understand why she stores long-life foods. But during Covid, there was no food shortage and there were various options available which meant she could remain in isolation such as click & collect, food delivery etc. So what I’m saying is it’s a poor and almost embarrassing example for her to give considering we are now out the other side.

im a prepper and i use there shop .i have every thing needed for about 4 months full lock down and all the survival gear its best to be ready for what is coming

Great tips. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has been advising us for years to have a food storage & many members have been blessed by having one.

[@sherimillman53]

Not trying to scare anybody pull the other leg it's got alarm bells on

[@dragonofhatefulretribution9041]

Hundreds of large meat-processing plants in the US have randomly “mysteriously” blown up or burned to the ground & not one of the investigations have turned up any suspects. Because it’s a top-down operation being orchestrated on purpose for the sake of causing a food-crisis. Our governments are simultaneously forcing farmers to reduce cattle production “for the environment” while those who dictate to us why we should become poor for the environment fly around in private jets. An enormous 2.5million sq-foot warehouse holding thousands of tonnes of grain burned down in the U.K. a couple of years ago-intended to feed the entire south-west coast. And a freight train full of grains “mysteriously” derailed which had to be thrown away due to contamination. All of this is going on without the peasant’s awareness. You’ll just call it happenstance when the parasitic co-opted elite will rub their hands and smirk as their plans come to fruition.

[@peeg09]
