hello

Post by storm in a teacup »

Hello everyone,

long time lurker but been unable to register due to a spamming isp. Tried tonight on the off chance and it worked. Woohoo

anyhow I live around the dumfries area with the family out in the sticks. Never thought about the what to do if? until last year the power went off in winter for a week. Where we live it was our only source of power and heat, now we have a wood burner to back up our regular central heating and cooker.

Then we got snowed in this year for a week, no snow tyres, no chains, no snow shovel, no extra food as we usually shop a few times a week. So we are now working on that.

Im also big into shooting and hunting and have been for the last 10 years and im now getting more into "bushcraft"

thats enough for now,

cheers

Thanks for the welcome,

I would recomend to anyone to go without power for a week. It really focuses what you do and do not need. But also what you can and cannot do!
