Hi all

[falcon1959]

I have to admit that I joined this forum a few months ago after watching a program on doomsday preppers in the USA, but this is the first time I have posted on the forum. I have to admit I was a prepper before I even knew what the term was. I used to be a member of a lowland search and rescue team and ever since that time I have a basic 48 hour day bag in my wardrobe.
I was also struck last year by how quickly we could be in trouble if we received serious amounts of snowfall here in the UK. I live in a south east kent town that is served very well by the motorway system, but in 2012 we had 3 or 4 days of bad snow and ice. Even though we lived just around the corner from 2 well known super markets even we had trouble getting a loaf of fresh bread. This was when it struck me that we could be in serious trouble if the bad weather conditions had lasted weeks or even months.
I have not started to stockpile foods or water yet, but I now have the basics things like torches, gat heaters and burners so that we can cook food and stay warm in the event of power failure or bad weather hitting us, and although I am stocking up on foods each week, we always have full cupboards of food we could fall back on.
With the help of the large resources and expertise in this forum I am now on the road to becoming a prepper that is preparing for bad weather disruption, solar flares, or anything else that may hit us. In the coming months I also hope to be able to contribute to the forum in anyway I can.
