Hi from the Midlands

[MajorEdAche]

I've been thinking about prepping for a while now and beginning to realize that I may be a little late to the party.

My main reason for getting prepared is to be able to look after the family if and when the need arises. As it stands, most problems the kids come to me with can be resolved by abusing my plastic, but if the lights go out and the shops don't open, I will need to be a little more creative.

I have a few basic skills, mainly taken from years of fishing and camping, but as I get older (and softer) it probably more like glamping!

So, I am here to hopefully pick up a few tips, learn some new skills, if people are willing to share, and kick a few ideas around with like minded people.
