A doomsday prepper who has a personal bunker with goods worth £315,000 has shared an urgent warning as tensions rise from global conflicts – including how many days’ worth of items to have in your stockpile at the very minimum.
Rowan MacKenzie is well-known for her expert advice in preparing for any disaster – including the end of the world.
Following a weekend of escalating strikes between Iran and Israel, the 40-year-old is sharing what she believes to be crucial advice for anyone worried about possible grey-zone attacks.

Rowan herself is concerned that World War III is just around the corner.
“Grey-zone attacks are exactly what the name says – it’s the grey area between a time of war and peace,” the homemaker and estate agent told Need To Know.
“It’s something we preppers consider when stockpiling.
“They need to be taken extremely seriously, as the economic crash can be just as disastrous as an actual physical war.
“[You should] stockpile at least 72 hours’ worth of essentials.
“This includes water, food, medications [and] power sources, such as rechargeable batteries.
“Keep a wind-up radio nearby to stay informed if the internet goes down.
“Learn basic first aid and fire safety.
“Practice emergency routines with household members, especially little ones.
“Get to know your local resilience forum and available services.
“As defence evolves, so too must public readiness.”
Although grey-zone attacks might not involve tanks or other weaponry, their impact can be just as severe on society.
Rowan, from the US, says her own prepping is no longer a hobby – she now considers it a necessity.
She added: “It’s becoming more and more practiced worldwide.
“It never hurts to protect the people you love.
“Don’t panic; make a list and execute.
“I’ve said it time and time again, you’ve got to be prepared for anything at any time.”
