Hi all

35 lincolnshire area guy, not completely new to the preparation/thought process of things. Recently started to get involved after father inlaw also has a keen intrest and desire to prep for future possible events. (you can only imagine my delight to finally find somebody close and trustworthy) he has a fairly vast knowledge of survival interms of foraging, general survival and hunting.

so far shopping list/bought consists of essential means of carrying, sleeping, eating and drinking along with some hunting/defence abilities. ongoing tasks are medical and adding to bug bags.

we will be using and testing our equipment as and when arrive and also plan some camping nights/weekends to use get used to and test our knowledge and equipment firsthand.

we are both capable and mature in our approach and mentality with commonsense and for-thought/sight. But looking to extend both community circles local and also growing knowledge, tips, tricks and anything we may have missed.

we have a few options of either staying in house or going further to a more rural setting, failing that...staying on the move. so making a decision or plan is also key at the moment.

so if anybody is local to grimsby/cleethorpes and alike and looking to share knowledge first hand, need help or knowing more poeple then feel free to message or say hi. failing that im sure ill see you or youll see me around here.

hope my intro is good enough :lol:

Hello intuitive, welcome to the forum. Fancy finding that your FiL is into prepping, and a forager to boot! It doesn't get much better.

hi Arzosah

Thank you for your reply, indeed it was, i knew he was handy with this kind of lifestyle and had knowledge as we have a good relationship and always talk about possible outcomes etc...however i never really expected anything to arise where we are actively now putting chit chat and talk into action. Once i everything has arrived and some more ordered next week i will be able to add the full list of contents. looks like im going to have to reinvest in my clothing and footwear mind as it seems to have shrunk in storage :lol: ;) and my boots have been worn out from my airsoft days more than i realised :roll:
