Hi, im looking to build a community

Post by Crossbow »

Hi people, im a starter prepper, and wanted to ask questions.

1. Are there many preppers in the southwest of England?

2. What are people prepping for?

3. Is there any groups of preppers? I want to set up a community, or join one?

4. I need to think of bug-out location. What sort of things do people have in the uk as bug-outs? Obviously no locations, just what it is they have?

Thanks :)

Tell us more about you.
How long have you been prepping? What are you prepping for? What situation do you think might arise to necessitate you bugging out?

I think a solar emp, I live in built up area, prepping for about 2 year, and I feel the situation would get out of hand. No foos, no water, and I d8nt want to be in a built up area when people are looking to find there next meal. I have got my stuff by hard work, and being prepared, and the last thing I want is for people to take what I have.

Oh yes a fair few of them all over the place,

2. What are people prepping for?

Believe it or not hard times mainly, often less likely but more scary scenarios are discussed for motivation and are not singled out as you see on TV.

3. Is there any groups of preppers? I want to set up a community, or join one?

Well yes I expect so probably more survivalists though, bear in mind the image prepping brings to mind scenario wise, in those instances groups would need to be made up of folk very close together to function in event of the need arising.

4. I need to think of bug-out location. What sort of things do people have in the uk as bug-outs? Obviously no locations, just what it is they have?

Most intend to bug in, yet see the potential to have to evacuate, the image that "bug out " brings to mind looks impracticle to most of us in the UK.
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
