I’m a college student based in Nottingham, after education I plan on moving to Japan which is why I decided to start getting used to prepping, due to how many natural disasters they have there.
Guess you could say I’m prepping to prep

So I would like to move there as a translator after university. I already some proficiency in the language and will be studying Japanese at university in September:) mainly focused on getting quality gear for my bug out big which I can use in Japan.
It is a fascinating place, I’ve visited 3 times so far and when I eventually move there I don’t plan to return. Unfortunately you can’t really get away from the disasters in Japan, if you live near the costs you run the risk of a tsunami. Live inland there is a possibility you would be affected by one of the 117 active volcanoes erupting or maybe a land slide, live in the north you have insane amounts of snow in the winter. And pretty much the whole of Japan is affected by earthquakes and typhoons, living in Japan I will encounter a major natural disaster, it’s just a matter of time and I need to make sure I’m prepared for it. But I will be avoiding moving to areas close to nuclear power plants, also not living in major cities which could be hit by North Korea.Lone wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 4:27 pmJapan is fascinating...everything I’ve seen (never been) shows minimalism, things kept for specific meanings, items owned where everything has a specific purpose and so forth, no wastage or too much unnecessaries.
A lot to be learned from there...good place to go for that very reason.
Japanese gardens are amazing...peace and tranquility away from the hectic world...time to reflect.
Though if areas are known to be more prone to disasters than others, choose an ideal location rather than putting yourself at preventable risk.
Oh wow learning Zulu would be pretty awesome. And yes Japanese is super hard, I have been learning it for over 3 years in my own time and I’m happy with how far I’ve come but can’t wait to progress more in uni.Lone wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 10:59 pmLubo
Interesting. By any chance have you checked out the prepping already in place in Japan, due to the very fact of being prone to disasters, not just the Government but the people themselves.
There must be shelters of sorts, plus sources where to buy various gear/kits for the public.
Japanese is quite a language to learn...in relation to my own interests, I would have very much liked to have learnt and been fluent in Zulu...shows respect to the country and people you would be visiting/staying at.
Never been to Africa though...it has its own troubles in places too...of different kinds
