Hey from fife Scotland!

Hey folks, been prepping for a couple of years. Got bob/ghb for each me and my fiancé in the boot of the car. In the house we have a couple of crossbows, swords, axes, knifes, tools, a couple of months food and water.

Next steps for us are setting up sustainability for worse case scenario, after SHTF event where society unravels and doesn’t rebuild quickly. So renewable energy source, large water filtration device (we have a 1000l one in bob/ghb), also maybe start a vegetable garden. I hate gardening but feel it’s a good idea.

Anyone wants to chat or share tips, that would be cool. Especially if anyone is nearby as I love the idea of being able to have likeminded friends to cooperate with after SHTF.

Welcome to the forum, hope you find it useful. Not too sure what you want swords for, they're pretty much designed for one purpose and we steer clear of discussing weapons on here.

Have a nose around and see what catches your eye, loads of interesting stuff.

Home defence in a post society breakdown scenario. If you have stuff, unprepared people are going to want to take it from you. No point saving up supplies over years to have someone come take it all off you 7 days after SHTF. Point taken though.

Looks like a good site. Think I will be on here to stay.

Welcome.As Deeps pointed out; We don't discuss weapons,or illegal activities here.Have a look around and enjoy.

Welcome to the forum. A GHB is so important, isn't it - and not just for EMP and stuff - I bet a lot of people travelling in the Midlands this weekend would have been glad of having the comforts of a ghb bag, with roads in gridlock after the lightning.

And I'm afraid growing vegetables is the way to go, yes

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

Thanks for the welcome folks, looking at tryouts my to figure out a low maintenance vegetable patch to start with, maybe some strawberries too. Realistically that’s going to be a project kicking off next spring as it’s likely we will be buying another house and moving before then.

Also interested in learning what wild plants you can eat. Plenty open country around here. Foraging and hunting would be preferable to farming after SHTF but a bit of both is probably the way to go. Considering taking training for that. Believe a few courses on wild food and survival camping are run up Perthshire in the National Park.

Foraging is also the way to go as well as growing veg. It's much more fun too
