Newbie from UK (but based in France)

Post by medwayman »

Greetings one and all, just to let you know a few details about myself luckily a single man with no kids and I am just 43 years young on April 17th, as it says in title I am based in France and I am luckily in a rural location away from any high density population which I think is a good advantage.

Into most things with regards prepping anything from bush-crafting skills, to crop growing, wild food foraging and I also have a FAC air rifle (Stoeger RX20 S3 surpressor) for hunting small game ETC. I also do like my gadgets and I will post a few pictures on here soon.

My best knowledge is regarding crop growing have quite a big crop going in this year.

It seems like theres a lot of us about! UK preppers in France, I mean. Strangely, the locals in my area don't seem to go for raised beds (although I do) and you can bet your last euro that if you see them around here its a Brit household! The locals are however a useful resource for information and tips, though. To my despair two years ago I ignored
the locals advice not to plant out tomatoes before may 15 and went ahead and planted them on 1st may, thinking it would be alright. What happened? A freak frost two days later killed them all!
