Hi folks, just found this forum, I am quite a solitary prepper I guess and am the only prepper in my family. I guess my skills and preps are that I have lived in some very unusual places, I lived in a double decker bus on a farm/traveller site for a couple of years, my only heat source was a woodburner which I cooked on as well. I lived in it through minus 20 temperatures during that really cold winter 2011? I cant remember now about 6 or 7 years ago. After that I lived in the inner Hebrideas on an island with a population of 100 mostly crofters. During the winter the electric went down for two weeks and I could not leave the island and no boats could land. So it was a survival situation. I guess those experiences have made me into a prepper. I am back in a town now, I don't really like being in a town and ideally I would like a plot of land with woods and some pasture. Maybe in the future. At the moment I am learning, making errors, leaning some more. One recent situation which has also taught me a lot is I had a stalker who is now in prison. it has over shadowed my life for the last two years and I guess has opened my mind quite a lot and made me very security conscious. The police have been great and they are doing their best to get him deported but It has definatly made me hyper vigilant and ponder about what I would do if the rule of law broke down. I was able to talk to the police at length about how I could defend myself if he accessed my home which he tried to do. So all in all my life has been preparing me for disasters lol
I am blessed to have a motorhome which is my get away truck and would surely be an asset in certain survival scenarios. I have already put a woodburner in it, It is big enough for my family and animals and my prepps if the worst happened.
I would like to learn more skills, carpentry, bit more blacksmithing, more gardening skills, hunting and stuff.
Anyway nice to meet you all,
