New from New Forest
Hi. I’m pretty new to prepping. The idea has been with me for a Long time just not the actual doing. Keen to learn what I need to do and talk/meet with other preppers that I Hope live near me.
Re: New from New Forest
Welcome to the forum - there's lots here for beginners and experienced alike, I'm sure you'll find some helpful stuff. What's inspiring you to take action right now, what are you prepping for?

Hi F4lcon
Just looking round to see who else is on the Forest.
I'm over in Ringwood.
Maybe see you out there.

We're a helpful and knowledgeable bunch. Feel free to throw out any questions or opinions, or wade in with your own answers and thoughts.
Maybe tell us what prepping you are doing or thinking of doing, and with what scenarios in mind.
Note, Forest or no forest, most of us here are inclined to prep to bug-in or bug-elsewhere rather than Bug-out and 'live off the land.'
Don't be shy.

Sounds like you have a good idea of what to do. Obviously you want a supply of food, water, first aid, soap, wet wipes things like that. You need alternative light and heat to cook. Take your time and reasearch each thing. It takes years. It's important to build up some savings and have a decent amount of cash ready, so don't blow it all on prepping!

As for prepping i think most just see it as a way of life now days lol we have been called many things over time until the SHTF then people are like oh i need help , just go at it slow and read about stuff before buying .
Work to a budget don't go mad and over spend on kit you will noit use go for al lthe stuff you will use first then when you are happy wit hthat you can build on that with stuff to trade or swap .
Enough the knowledge base
