You can't expect a populus to vote directly on such a matter when they don't do it regularly and for this, there should've been a propper information campaign, neutral and expansive.
Basically you have a voting base that generally has no clue how to vote on policy and is only trained to vote for people.

All of the 52% were lied to. So what? If you are going to vote based on obviously fantastical lies, or you cannot countermand obviously fantastical lies, you deserve what you get.
A vote is not illegitimate simply because the result is not unanimous, nor is it illegitimate because the result isn't close to unanimous. Ergo, the British electorate voted for it and they will, deservingly, have to reap the whirlwind.
And I will watch and I will laugh.

I suppose a typical camping stove would provide a basic back up for short term use if necessary.

Batteries. OK.
Got a list of everyday consumer products that we do not manufacture in the UK that are likely to be effected by a No Deal Brexit?

A camping stove and some gas canisters is a good standby and will provide a bit of heat as well as cooking and hot water.
You've got to be a bit careful that you use it proerly. They're not the same as a regular cooker.

How long will you need it for though? You have water purification tablets and a lot of pre-cooked tinned food. Realistically, if power is completely down, you won't need to use the cooker for almost anything, although cold tinned foods are grim.

Ok. Let's look at this.
If No Deal is imminent I could stock on barbecue coals.
Actually come to think of it one of the people in my local area who I suspect may be a fellow prepper is doing exactly that. Its not barbeque weather yet someone is stocking up, i will keep my eyes open.

I'm talking about one (or two) of those flat stoves which have a slide in gas cartridge, and a dozen cartridges. One cartridge will power the stove for 90 minutes. It would be enough to heat up tinned meals and boil water for tea for a week or two.
I don't think it's realistic to "prep" for longer periods of dislocation. Civil society would begin to fall apart after a couple of weeks of no power and no food deliveries.
Rather than trying to go it alone, which isn't possible forever, people ought to start cooperating with neighbours to organise some local restoration of order in the absence of cenral government initiative.

The bunker I found is designed to be buried with 3 feet of soil on top, So it looks like a decent candidate. Shipping containers are strong, but only on the corners where they are meant to be stacked.

Can you please provide a link to these stoves so I can research and budget. Also what about safe storage of cylinders.

Well there are different levels of prepping. The water tablets, and soon to be powdered milk are a holdoff supply, small in volume and not expected to be used, and last long enough to be ignored in a box somewhere.
The tinned food is a major outlay, which i added to this weekend considerably, some will become a permanent store, some will be used this year if things go well, and also if things go badly but under different circumstances. So its a case either way of buy now use later. I dont have a maximum cap of storage other than volume, and i can make room for quite a bit.
Fuel is a preparation for crud-hits-fan levels of badness, as it involves power outages. I do not think that will last long. government can adapt to loss of power imports, we have our own gas and we have nuclear, and a fair amount of wind and tidal. The first thing to turn off or down at public lighting, the largest single usage of electricity. The UK is grossly overlit and while it makes driving at night safer, and walking home safer that is a sacrifice we can afford. cars after all have lights. Turning off most civic lighting would slash the power demand so that the UK would function otherwise normally. All it would take is the decision.
Otherwise outages can be managed by timed supplies, off at certain times of night and afternoon, this will allow people to cook etc. Again things would have to get really bad for this to happen, but if it does there are measures the government can take to make electricity supplies work. So any disruption will likely be short term even in a worst case scenario.

Similar to my advice on Universal Credit prepping for those in danger of rollout. Universal Credit will shaft you for two months, previously up to four. For which you need to set aside two weeks food. This is because the food supply is to buy adaption time, not to entirely see you through a crisis, though of course more is better.
If crud happens there might be local cooperation, but I would be wary of distribution schemes, they could demand unfair contributions and rarely equitable in distribution themselves. Local cooperation is still mutually useful in a bad scenario.
In a disaster central government will be looking out for itself, it is what it has been doing so far anyway. I would not trust them to restore society except for self interest, except for law and order controls, they will likely be fairly efficient at that in a holistic way. Local and regional government might be better but again self interested.
All these are still worst case scenarios.
I suspect if I have to activate my prepped supplies it will be for a milder crisis, or for something unforeseen, and again to remind you its not an ego issue, an insightful prepper wants to be proven wrong, as in, that the prepping was 'wrong' to begin with. I would be delighted with that.
What is the worst case scenario?
Check the Dow Jones. There was been an unstable climb since the 2008 crash and the Dow Jones is far higher than in 2008, its been continually peaking.
If Brexit goes badly it may effect the UK a lot and the EU a fair amount. But both the EU and UK leadership are holdouts, so it could go very badly.
If this happens London could tank, which would be like Lehman Brothers x100. We wouldn't get a 2008 style crash, we would get a 1929 style crash as London is one of the two integral hubs to the global financial system, with New York. Everyone could be fethed.
Because of that there is reason to suggest there will be a deal, however both the UK and EU are being holdouts......

Go Outdoors gas stove -- £12.99 if you get the £5 discount card at the same time.
Butane gas cartridge -- £10 for eight.
Total cost will be £27.99. There isn't much you can get in GW wargaming for that any more.
The gas canisters are as safe as aerosol spray cans.

You are saying one cannister is enough for 90 minutes cooking? OK. That is so reasonably priced that I should get that.
I can see myself in the summer after a sky-isnt-falling- in Brexit resolution, taking up camping to make use of my new cooker, tins and water purification tablets.
Tell me about this discount card please.

Maybe. However many pundits saw no problem with the sub-primes. Some of the people who predicted the 2008 collapse are saying we are due another dip and the markets are unstable, some also say the lessons of 2008 have not been learned.
Brexit probably won't of itself cause a market collapse, I don't believe it can, and London is integrally strong. But could it be the catalyst of the collapse of an already unstable market system? It only requires one interconnected corner to go under and start a cascade.
Remember I am forwarding this as worst case scenario, so a bit of doom and gloom is expected.

Go Outdoors have a discount card which costs £5 for a year. You can order it in advance, or just buy it at the till when you purchase something and you get the discount immediately.
The gas canister cooking time is based on the technical info supplied on the Go Outdoors site -- 150g of butane burned per hour. I haven't tried it in person.
I've got a small lightweight camping stove for walking, but a flat style one like this would be good for "car boot camping."

Ok, signed up, but didn't need the £5 card. There is a deal for stove plus one pack of 4 canisters of fuel for £15. It was not requiring the card discount, none of the items were and this deal was better than the card exclusive. Bought that and some more fuel and some batteries, I was short of these anyway and it's a good price for Duracell. So I spent up to the £50 free delivery threshold. Total of 20 cannisters of fuel, probably way more than needed. Reckon one canister will last 2-3 cooks, say two days each, and thats not being frugal. I will have that instead of the last of the Mechanicus set I had planned to buy. I was planning to drop £160 on Killzone Sectror Mechanicus, it got cancelled on me twice from the sudden stock outage, two different sites. When I couldn't buy the bulk of the monies went into extra stores instead, now it all has.
Another box ticked, and didn't cost as much as I expected. I will store the canisters in the garage in a plastic box.

Bunker wise, drainage would be a big thing for us, since we've got a lot of clay up here. An arched roof might be necessary too. I'm planning on having something with less than a foot of soil/grass above it though; the intent is to provide more domestic space, rather than to survive anything, more akin to a sunken shed than a survival bunker.
Realistically, the cost of digging out the soil and building it will completely outweigh the benefits, so I'm more likely to just buy a bigger house and build a proper garage.

That is probably a valuable point actually- having basic life support and first aid skills is definitely a useful part of prudent prepping. Disaster scenarios typically involve overwhelmed emergency services (see recent Manchester bombing), so some degree of self-sufficiency in coping with medical matters is very helpful.
I hadn't actually considered that, I had planned on stocking up on things like plasters and paracetamol, but not anything more in depth. I do have a first aid box in the house and car for minor things, and I'm assuming the ambulance / accident & emergency services will be well enough insulated from short term issues.

Solar panels on the roof would probably provide enough power to run most of your domestic needs during the day (unless you've got battery storage), but that's a pretty big investment for Brexit prepping. It's potentially well worth it in the longer term to keep your electricity bills now.

There is a talk about a frictionless UK-Canada-Australia-New Zealand trade alliance. Not unlikely or unreasonable, but not assured either.
Deal with the US is somewhat more problematic, there will be a lot of holdouts.
Norway will likely also remain fairly favourable to the UK in trade terms. Though I will not describe the reasons here. Automatically Appended Next Post: Herzlos wrote:

Solar panels are popular but problematic due to obscure UK laws.
If you have solar panels on your roof you are an 'energy provider' as the excess from solar panels goes into the national grid, so inspectors can ask for access to your home at any time and cannot be denied. Most people in the UK don't know this. You can offset this by having the power run externally, or placing the solar panels on garage roof or somewhere you don't mind inspectors visiting.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. |

There is a talk about a frictionless UK-Canada-Australia-New Zealand trade alliance. Not unlikely or unreasonable, but not assured either.
Deal with the US is somewhat more problematic, there will be a lot of holdouts.
Norway will likely also remain fairly favourable to the UK in trade terms. Though I will not describe the reasons here.
He should've come earlier, because the swiss process of actually ratifying stuff is SLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW.

Sitting on arses doing nothing is the primary role of HM Foreign Office. It's all your fault.

It's potentially well worth it in the longer term to keep your electricity bills now.
Depends on how many panels you have, ofc. I've only got experience with the small system at my mate's summer place, two panels and a couple heavy batteries. It's easily enough to run lights and radio and recharge a few phones or a laptop, but for anything heavier (power tools etc) he has to drag out a small petrol generator. And it's almost worthless if you don't get sunlight.

Seriously guys, please stop with the end of the world talk. The markets may well suffer a substantial dip, but this isn't Leman Brothers 2.0.
As someone who has had to bailout banks and private corporations with my taxes time and time before, I don't trust what you or your colleagues think for a single second.
History is replete with blithe assurances preceding major economic disaster.
