New Member... Scotland

[Jodes]

Just wanted to say Hey folks,

Young(ish) guy living smaller town life N.E Scotland, been covertly reading a few Preppers forums, and thought it about time to step out of the shadows (I wouldn't not join in Convo's in real life, so guess no need here) Seems a really nice & knowledgeable bunch here from what I've read so far, so would be comfortable throwing out some questions when they arise.

Reason I'm mainly here is I live in a rented flat Central town, thus diminishing options of home upgrades, homesteading etc etc. Therefore, I just want to be prepared in all the other ways I can outwith these, bounce idea's off the community & see if folks have reviews/experience on particular Brands of tools/equiptment to avoid or go for. I camp, hike & snowboard so have gear, but having more or upgrading some is cool, who doesn't like buying new toys!!

That about it for now,
Take it easy everyone.

Hello and welcome!
There are quite a few people on this forum in rented or tempory accommodation so I am sure you'll grab some good ideas from them. Preps don't have to be big house, land and the like. A bag to grab in an emergency, store of food to see you through a couple of weeks, a camping stove and some torches and batteries is a good small start where ever you are dwelling!

hi and welcome I also live in a rented flat in a high crime rate area in Scotland and I am currently unemployed so I get most of my prepps from the likes of the pound shops home bargins and b&ms some of the things are good quality for the price

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

Hi,

Another new(ish) member here. Been a member a while, first post (I think).

Glasgow location. Pretty amateur levels of preps (3-month food and water only).

Hoping to meet some like-minded and fairly local contacts to develop an inter-dependant network in Scotland.

New family has got me to thinking about all the things I can't do and developed a case of 'Prepper Panic' recently. Decided to take a more long-term approach and ignore the desire to buy every tin of beans I see at Asda. You know it's becoming a problem when the first think you check for is a 3-year shelf life!

Happy to PM or to keep it on the boards.

F.
