Hello and welcome to the Forum. :)

Could you tell us a bit about yourself, what brought you to the Forum and why you want to start Prepping?

That'll assist us in providing you with some answers.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Welcome to the forum, what are you planning on preparing for? Flooding, unemployment, snow, disruption of deliveries/ utilities? They all have different slants on what's needed.
