(well seaside Blackpool)
Hi there,
I'm very new to this having only (just) decided with my other half to take the step into prepping, it has been something that he has been planning to do for a while, whilst I remained very skeptical however after spending sometime researching and deliberating over it we decided it is time to take the plunge!
Ok, i will properly introduce myself! I'm 26, I have lived in Blackpool literally all my life. I'm a mental health nurse and qualified a few years ago. I enjoy country pursuits and camping and cooking. Although my sneaky guilty pleasure is zombie movies.
i'm hoping to get advice on how to start and the best ways to go about it, we have started getting extra food in but thats about it.
So anyway I will stop rambling.
Thanks for reading

Welcome to the forum! Love the name, I really do 
As to how to move forward from getting food in (which is a great start) - check out the forum bit by bit. One thing I did, because I love mucking about with online maps, was work out how to get home from local towns if there was a problem with public transport. Thats a bit minority - stocking up on over the counter meds for winter, stashing loo paper, water, practising skills of various sorts - there's lots.

Its nice to see someone from mental health as a prepper! Normally people would ask that as a prepper u should seek a mental health professional! As a prepper I seeming to be getting a lot of giggles and your a nutter for storing extra items in garage! yet I only have a weeks supply of the food/water etc.
Is it not ok to take a few steps just if TSHTF. Why do the main stream of people don't get it?

We live in a unsustainable world, there must be a balance, poor people/rich people no more, only prepared people will make it!
