We have a lot of new members since you last visited, so if you could give us a brief idea of what you are preparing for, we would be grateful.
Thanks Jansman

I guess our youthful panics of 'yesteryear' are well and truly over i.e zombies, alien invasion and asteroid impact

Tin foil hats no longer fit!
The issues we feel that are prep-worthy proper include unemployment, health problems, social degradation, economic collapse, weather related emergency and the like..
We are in cahoots with a few experienced preppers local to us and have been for a few years, We have detailed and practiced Bug in/out plans with comms in place too..(the small group within about a 20mile radius)
There is just the Wife and I (early 30's) we enjoy the outdoors and are frequent campers, interested in bush craft, self sufficiency and earth friendly technologies in general. with no religious nor political inclinations. I guess we are prep veterans now but like to keep our 'hand in' and are ever aware that there is always something to learn and the word 'covert' is king!
