Hi from Wiltshire

Post by CraighR »

Hey guys.

My name is Craigh. I moved back to the UK after many years in South Africa. Had to leave most of my preppers gear in South Africa as it is frankly all illegal here.
Got into prepping from many years in varying degrees of work that make prepping a good idea.
I love buying goodies and sell pepper gear in South Africa online.
Been a tad lazy on the preppers side here as its a million times safer than SA but getting back into it now.

I found this group through google.
I sell some preppers gear online here but niche stuff and I will approach the admins before mentioning it.

I have quite a lot of experience with what gear works with a background in the Paras and then the SA police and body guarding so if you need advice on tactics and equipment I am more than happy to give my 2 pennies worth.

I look forward to hearing from you guys.
Hopefully I haven't run afoul of any rules just yet :-)

Please note: We don't discuss WEAPONS. This is the UK with unique ( but sensible) laws surrounding self defence.Thankyou.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Appologies. Will refrain from mentioning the W word.
Got a reprimand from the moderators already. Will read the rules better next time.

Cheese can be a touchy subject too, another topic that's best to avoid.
