Greetings newbie from Merseyside here.

Post by TallPaul »

Hi there fellow preppers. I've always been fascinated with the concept of prepping. Seeing as I have a young family I think it's about time I took things more seriously in life.

So far I have very little. I have some camping gear but it has fallen into disuse and is probably only fit for the bin. I think I used my tent pegs for pegging down football nets :oops:

Obviously seeing we have just seen some bad weather and people caught on the M6 in freezing conditions for hours this is an immediate concern for me. I suppose a no brainer is to have blankets, water and first aid kits in the car.

I think the next thing I would be worried about is another fuel shortage. If anything happens people immediately panic buy so I guess I would like to have confidence in having a supply of food for a few weeks.

What do you guys recommend as a bare minimum? Links to previous posts are welcome. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Ta!

Hi welcome
Your a true prepper using the tent pegs to peg down a football net :lol: thinking outside the box. I would sit down for a couple of hours with a cup of tea and have a good read of the forum and then ask away :P
