Hi from Scotland

Post by Woodsmoke »

Hi folks hope you are all well.

I come from the North of Scotland where I work as an ambulance technician with the Scottish Ambulance service, looking to do my paramedic course as soon as its available.

Long time prepper, started of with bushcraft and eventually more into prepping though at times they can go hand in hand. Love to wildcamp, hunt and would love to get an old town canoe and learn to paddle. Always looking to learn more and more than happy to share my own skills and knowledge.

Prep wise, currently in the process of transforming back garden to hold as much fruit and veg as possible.

All the best.

Welcome to the forum :) that's a great mix of skills already. Are you prepping for something in particular? Got to say, the canoe sounds fantastic 🚤 (no emoji for a canoe, have a speedboat :) ).

Steptoe: Glad you are ok bud.

It was due to prepping that I am in the job. I started off wanting to learn some first aid skills as part of my preps so I volunteered with the local first responders. I was with them for 5 years. We were very fortunate as the group was led by 2 paramedics. They encouraged me to join the service and here I am now.

Arzosah: Thanks for the warm welcome. I am not really prepping for anything in particular, really trying to cover all bases as much as I can. Same with skills just trying to get as many under my belt as possible.

Look forward to learning from you all and hope to put up some useful things myself.

All the best.
