A doomsday prepper has an outhouse full of hazmat suits, iodine tablets, and gas masks - because he fears nuclear war could break out at any moment and he wants to be ready.
Brad Sutherland, 26, adds to his collection whenever he hears of something "dangerous" on the news and despite having oodles of equipment, he claims his stash would last him just one week.
The former web developer from County Durham quit his job to open a prepping equipment business and now he's ready for the worst - and says many other people are following suit.
He said that the number of people preparing for a nuclear war is "quite scary", and added that he hopes he never has to use his collection - but having it close to hand makes him feel "more at ease".

He said: "I have an outhouse stocked full of supplies for worst-case scenarios, and I think everyone should do the same with what's going on in the world at the moment."
Brad thinks the coronavirus pandemic showed that people "can never be too prepared", saying that when everyone was rushing to buy toilet rolls and food, preppers were "all sorted in that respect".
He got into prepping when he and his business partner set up an outdoor equipment company in 2018, and many of his customers were asking if the company stocked prepping equipment.
After doing some research, Brad realised that prepping was probably "the most sensible thing to do in today's climate," and thought selling prepping equipment could be a good business move.
He said: "I would definitely say the business helped me become a prepper to be honest.
"Before that, I wasn't really into prepping at all, but I started to speak to preppers and learn about it all."
Brad then turned the company into a prepping equipment company, EmergencyPrepperCo, and over time, he became a fully-fledged prepper.
Now Brad has an entire outhouse that he hopes to turn into a bunker, at the bottom of his garden, full of prepping equipment.
He said: "The downstairs looks a bit like a warehouse with shelves and stuff, and then up above is a computer room.
"Downstairs, there are gas masks, hazmat suits and gas mask filters.
"I've got iodine tablets, military clothing, sleeping bags, tents, flashlights.
"If I wanted to just go out in the forest, for example, and live there for like a week, I could quite happily just pack all this stuff and do that."
Brad finds that his outhouse supplies are "constantly changing and being updated" depending on what is on the news.
He said: "Whenever there's a sense of something else that could be going wrong, you adjust for the situation.
"Like the energy crisis, for example, I've got some generators, just in case the electricity goes off for some reason.
"So you kind of have to sort of stay ready and adjust accordingly."
Brad explained that his prepping is based on current issues rather than apocalypses usually associated with preppers.
He said: "So it's not always like the big sort of headlines that you see, like sort of zombies ending the world.
"We're not all crazy.
"It's actually based on local, realistic issues."
Brad is prepping for all kinds of crises and is especially concerned about the Ukraine war and the cost-of-living crisis.
He said: "The hot topic these days is nuclear war.
"So I've got nuclear survival kits, things like that.
"But I'm also just preparing for sort of domestic issues such as food shortages, power outages and bad weather.
"Like all of these situations, they could force you to leave your home."
Brad has noticed that more and more people are buying from his website since the war between Ukraine and Russia broke out.
He explained: "We've had a lot of people buying stuff from us that never normally would think about buying this kind of thing.
"To be honest, it is quite scary.
"Family nuclear kits are getting bought more than ever.
"For each person in the family, there is a gas mask, hazmat suit, and a bug-out bag.
"So if you do have to leave your home at a moment's notice, then you will have all the tools like food and shelter to survive the next sort of 72 hours."
Brad found that in the pandemic his outhouse came in handy, saying: "We (preppers) had quite a lot of food.
"We had loads of PPE masks and stuff like that.
"The coronavirus taught us you can never be too prepared.
To help him prepare for a crisis even more, Brad has learned some survival skills, explaining: "I've just learned basic survival skills like how to use a knife to craft certain tools, just sort of the basics."
Brad would recommend prepping to anyone, saying: "It's made me feel more at ease when watching the news and hearing about dangerous things.
"I know if anything goes wrong, I'll be prepared.
"I hope I'll never have to use the stuff."
