Hello from Stockport
hello all, I am from Stockport just outside Manchester. I am ex military into survival and prepping. I spent a lot of time out in Alaska, and Canada (BC and Yukon) have a lot of friends out there that live of the grid, and hopefully one day I will be able to do the same over here. I grown food in my garden and do a lot of canning. I look forward to chatting to you all.

Re: Hello from Stockport
Hi! I'm in Manchester, probably about 5 or 6 miles away from you. I'm trying to grow my own food, and I have three hens, but one is very sick at the moment. I have an interest in wild foods and am just going to try to set up a bit on my allotment where I can grow native herbs for food or medicinal use (I'm a beginner though and will have to learn as I go along).

Re: Hello from Stockport
That's so interesting - I live near Selkirk - the original one. Some far-travelled Soutar in the old days must've got to the YUkon and founded a town. Fabulous. Bet he could teach us a hell of a lot about surviving!

Hi there cavealaska, welcome to the forum.
Your military background and experiences in Alaska suggest you have practical knowledge that will be of great interest and use to us all. I look forward to reading your future posts.
