hello guys and girls, new member here

Post by BigB26 »

Hello everyone, thanks for letting me be here, as the title suggests I am new to this forum but also new to prepping. I'll try and keep this short-ish :) I've not got any experience prepping for any sort of eventuality, the usual way of having plans in place and food stores etc, but the work I've done in the past has given me key skills to deal with people who may not react very well in the event of a government collapse or any other major breakdown of the services we get in this country. I'm wanting to learn from all of you (as I already have a bit from lurking for the last couple of days) but theres hours and hours worth of material left to read through, and hopefully some of you will share your expertise.

I own a selection of what I class to be essential tools in the event of a major incident and I hunt, I'm just in need of some good cost effective clothing but also items which you can recommend as you never know what is any good anymore.

The main things i'm wanting to prep for is government collapse, pandemic or invasion.

Anyway I'm going to sign off now, I hope to speak to you all and hopefully learn some valuable skills. Thanks. Bigb26

Thanking you everyone. Glad to be here, gosh theres alot to read on this forum. I feel a bit of a div as I'm reading posts that I could leave a good comment on but the thread is long dead, ah well. Is anyone else prepping for defence as well as stocking up on food etc? Probably a silly question but someone has to ask them :)

I have no shame

I have picked up long dead threads and commented and the subject has 'revived' and people have responded. Don't be afraid to give an old topic a new life. People will join in I promise! :D Also, you will note that (with all things) there is a 'turnover' of forum members and so some people may not have even seen the original thread

Don't think you're a div because you want to contribute. Nothing is further from reality
