I'm a doomsday prepper… here is what you MUST have in your WW3 nuclear survival kit

Doomsday preppers have shared the most important materials for people to stockpile in the event of World War Three. 

While they have been dismissed by many as needless hoarders by some, doomsday preppers insist that doing so is essential should a nuclear conflict erupt.

Lincoln Miles, hit back at critics, stating: 'There are some people in full hazmat suits talking about nuclear war and stuff, but there's so many different levels to prepping; [people] have become worried about natural disasters'. 

Mr Miles claimed prepping for the end of the world makes 'a hell of a lot of sense'. 

His store, in Wadebridge, Cornwall, sells a kit containing a month's worth of freeze-dried meals for £478.71. 

While they have been dismissed by many as needless hoarders who are unnecessarily panicking, doomsday preppers insist that doing so is essential should another global conflict occur

One such prepper, Lincoln Miles, hit back at critics, stating: 'There are some people in full hazmat suits talking about nuclear war and stuff, but there's so many different levels to prepping; [people] have become worried about natural disasters'

Miles claims his shop was the first prepping store in Europe and is now the continent's 'leading survival store'.

He told the Guardian: 'Covid was the big boost for our business; I think people realised [that] if something happens again we are on our owns.

'The big thing was queues in the supermarkets and food supplies running out. It became real for a lot of people and served as a bit of a wake-up call.'

A similar business, UKPreppingShop, sells a one-person nuclear survival kit – complete with a gas mask – for £564.95.

Another doosmday-centric venture, Sgt Preppers, was set up during the pandemic in the Pennines and offers guides to living 'off grid' along with £95 hazmat suits that are available in both children's and adult sizes. 

The Bug Out, a store in Wales, offers a £152 'survival barrel' in which supplies can be hidden in one place, in case of an unexpected emergency. 

Another prepper, former soldier Tom Blakey, was keen to emphasise the importance of thinking ahead.

Speaking to Metro, he said: 'Whatever the threat is – whether it's the weather, other human beings, a natural disaster – the first step is getting away from it and having a plan B.

'What if your car breaks down? What if the bridge you wanted to cross has collapsed? What if you don't have a water supply? You need to be prepared for the 'what-ifs… I think there's a bit of a stigma around the word 'prepper'. People think we're conspiracy theorists who hide away in the woods.

'For a lot of us in the UK, it's a lot more practical. I do think it's important to have an inquiring mind and to question things, but I'm no conspiracy theorist.'

It comes after a woman who built a doomsday bunker said the door will remain closed to anyone outside her home, including family.

Rowan MacKenzie, from Missouri, who became a social media phenomenon after revealing she's been prepping her home for 12 years, believes it's necessary to prepare for the end of the world.

She previously hit the headlines after revealing she spent over $90,000 on her hidden bunker stockpile.

The 38-year-old began stocking up her cupboards 13 years ago and initially, bought lifelong essentials, such as beans and rice, which she taught herself to preserve through trial and error.

She said: 'I've always said that if you didn't help build it, then hard decisions will have to be made.

'My door won't be open to anyone, family or not, as I've prepared for my own home. I feel bad, but hard times call for hard knocks - and a harsh reality.'
