Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 12

Did an emergency First Aid course this week, courtesy of work. Feel like I would cope much better now (haven’t done one for a few years) and also reminded me of a few bits I need to update in my first aid kit at home/car.

Re: Where I used to live

My dream location - the more remote the better :) I can see why prepping would have needed to be a part of everyday life … I’m guessing no nipping out for milk?!
