New prepper . Hi

[boltprepper]

Hi everyone

I'm interested in prepping since 2020, I managed to beat the panic buying and saw that coming so prepared 6-8 weeks before the panic began.

Now, I get the same sense something big is about to happen! I've never considered myself a prepper!

But I guess I am .....

I've recently been storing food, and gathering tools for off grid living should shtf. So hello to like minded people here, and look forward to talking to you lot

Welcome. There is lots of good advice on the site and people are friendly. Have a look around and feel free to ask questions. I think most of us feel the same way about the future at the moment. Some of us have been"prepping" a lot longer than others while for some it is just how they live i..e. off grid/self sufficient etc and they have bags of experience to share with the rest of us.

Welcome to the forum - yes, I certainly feel that there are so many chronic and acute emergencies building up to bursting point that some kind of implosion is going to happen. Good for you for seeing the need to prep 6 - 8 weeks in advance of the pandemic, that's a good cushion. Always more to do, of course and you'll find loads of skilled people on here to help get you where you want to go.

I think the word Prepper puts some people off, it's just being prepared for whatever life throws at us.. well worth it

Hi and welcome.
Well done in your fore-site.

The sense of foreboding is off the scale now, maybe because none of the issues is going away, but others are joining them. And no threat is off the cards.

Please let us be wrong. Let the future be happy and bright. Let the non-prepped have the last laugh. Worse things could happen.

Hi, welcome. I think it's already well underway. It's already happening. Gas prices through the roof, petrol and electricity, lots of food items. Housing unaffordable. And the real possibility of the war in Ukraine escalating and spreading. Russia has limited manpower but it does have nukes, and Putin's not the only hawk. Global inflation, famine, mass migration, probably other wars. The climate crisis and associated extreme weather. Covid, monkey pox, both possibly related to climate, certainly to our continued destruction of nature. Tropical diseases will migrate with warming. Runaway feedbacks about to kick in.
