    everyone thinks of survival situations in forest/mountain & desert, i spend hours each week thinking about urban survival situations ie no power, shops, transport network ect. could understand it if i lived in london or another city, but i live in the country.

    I'm sure the all those motorists & residents in and around South and North Anston in South Yorkshire had never considered what to do when they found themselves stranded for 72 hours in the snow back in Dec 2010. Luckily some residents had the wherewithall to open a relief centre using donated foodstuffs and bedding in the first 24 hours as the first emergency services didnt arrive until then.

    Lorry drivers were ok sleeping in their cabs as they were prepared for nights out but many car drivers ended up hypothermic as they ran out of fuel.

    The village shops ran out of milk, tea, bread et al and anything that needed to be brought in or taken out had to be done on foot or by 4 x 4, including the sick and injured. Home care staff and medical support could not reach the population without the use of suitably equipped 4 x 4 's hence the calling in of Mountain Rescue - in fact the first emergency service on scene was mountain rescue.

    I wonder how long the people of Boscastle were without basic services after the flooding. I know people in Sheffield and Doncaster and Rotherham went without basics for at least 48 hours after the flooding in 2007.

    The most powerful & serious threat to our continued wellbeing is mother nature herself. She has a nasty habit of letting us know just how insignificant we are
