I’m back

[mikefranks]

Hi everyone

After loosing my job and home; I have come back and finally back on my feet. I have had to pretty much start again from scratch.

My main focus is on bugging in. My main preps are for storms, flooding and unrest. Having to restart and build up supplies again. Going over basics and would love some pointers to refresh. Feels like a lifetime ago when I was prepping!

Well you already know the basics ...... food,water shelter

food you can sus out yourself , i've no idea what you like to eat.
water is easy in this country, bottle from the tap or rainwater collection.
you've a new shelter, workout the weak points and fix them.

after that its all padding to make it more comfortable.

good luck mate, wish you all the best.

Welcome back. My brother was in your place a few years back,so I get it. Once you have some spare grub put by,an alternative way to cook,light a room up ,you will be well on the way.One advantage to your situation,is that you now know what NOT to waste money on.

Welcome back, I'm glad you're on your feet again.

At this time of year, as well as the basics of food, water and shelter, light, as jansman points out, is valuable. I have a few little torches scattered about the house, and I've used them at the oddest times. I had to leave the house at 4.30am recently, and without a torch, I couldn't have seen the keyhole to lock the door. I don't usually leave at that time of the night, so I hadn't realised Helps during powercuts, and many other emergencies/non-emergencies.

That time of night! It’s the start of the working day don’t you know?

Joking aside, a simple torch, to hand, is a blessing at the most unusual times.

Torches hmmm reminded me to bin the pathetic waste of money of my mini 1xAAA maglite solitaire can't rely on it unlike my 15 year old bulbed version

We've got torches around the house and I keep one of these hanging off my laptop table.



Gives me enough light to wander off and get a 'proper' torch or lighting system if we have a failure.
