survival in the uk

[abbie9]

HI, my name is maggie

im from cornwall, been thinking about prepping for quite some time now. I see the world going through quite a lot of neg changes. I love cornwall and i will miss here but in my heart i dont feel that i am in a safe place. There fore will be relocated in the near future. I am here simply to make new friends get gd ideas and to meet survival groups.

Hi Abbie ! I'm a long way north and don't know Cornwall at all, but it looks a bit like you'd end up with your back to the sea and nowhere to go , if things went to custard. Not enough islands to get lost in either..

Hi, welcome to UK Preppers. I know what you mean about not feeling safe. I'm in the middle of Manchester, but without a car it would be impossible to move somewhere rural, and I can't drive (nor do I have the funds to learn and then to buy and run a car).

We just have to do the best we can with what we've got!

Dont think i would like to be in a big city. However its true that u have to prepare ur selves the best way u can.

oh sheesh! I had just decided I was safer in Cornwall ! Hey ho. The main problem I can see is if there was a nuclear problem at this end of the country (say, London), we'd have to go past it to move 'up north'. But would we need to? Am I missing the obvious?

Manchester folks - I left and moved to Buxton for a few years. I know you still need a car but once you get through Stockport/Disley you are soon into hills and the highest points of the country. The problems are the A6 (a pain at the best of times although if you plan now there are ways to get round it) and the weather.

Hi abbie, welcome from Devon. You're the second person to sign up from Cornwall in the last week...it must be something in the water . Cornwall may be on the end of a peninsular but it still has lots of advantages over many parts of the country. If i lived there i'm not sure i would want to move away as it is a lovely part of the world even if it is very packed in summer with all the tourists...but just think of all the empty holiday homes / caravans in the winter if things ever went belly up

Mind you, with low wages and high property/land prices I can see how it is difficult to get the ideal place you would like and I have spent enough time down there to know that not everywhere is like an episode of Dr Martin, it has it's problems like most other places

You could always buy a boat and bug out to the Scilly Isles

hello and welcome maggie
there seems to be several of us members in the SW so it cant be all bad.
its gota be better than living in a city like london, if something bad were to happen can you imagine how long it would take you to get of of there with jammed roads as million of others were also trying to leave at the same time.
the SW has a lot going for it, open spaces and lots of coast which means plenty to eat if you know where to look.

Hi dont get me wrong i love my home, i am a cornish girl. But what scares me is the new madrid fault in amercica thats playing up at the mo. If this was to happen there would be no southwest left due to hugh waves, thats a real concern for me.
