Hello from not so sunny Kent !

Hi everyone, I have actually been on here before but couldn't for the life of me remember my user name so thought I'd start again! I have been prepping for a couple of years now, my latest acquisition being garb gel. I feel the days getting darker and as a woman on my own I am trying my hardest to protect myself

[jansman]

Welcome. What areas of prepping interest you?

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

Now this is why I love this forum, something new all the time. I had to look up garb gel and I take it it's the self defence gel?

Anyway, welcome

Not heard of garb gel either.

Is it this Farb Gel they have on Amazon :

Quite expensive, but invaluable if it does the job.

Yes farb gel, apologies, typo ! It is expensive, only legal one I could find. Sometimes I feel equipped and other times hopelessly inadequate

Bit like this then

Yes, it's £10 on Amazon. Sold out in Germany apparently, quite how they couldn't see it coming I have no idea

It's not legal. You are not allowed in law to carry anything for the purpose of self-defence in the UK. If you use it on someone you'll get nicked as well. Do a self-defence class and carry a big bunch of keys (each one of which you can justify) instead.
