Hi all,

I have been away from the forum for a long time.

Special shout out to Yorkshire Andy who I met when he came down to Southampton so very long ago to discuss prepping.

So as a Prepping family, when COVID hit we were sitting pretty. It was interesting. Being prepared allowed us to chill as things unfolded. Even better. Because we were prepared. It allowed us to support a few families that were our friends taking the worry and stress out of the situation for them.

Our view as preppers is that the prepper community could be considered as a moden day Civil Defence Corps. Yet that is our view not to be confused with expectations on the prepper community.

Cheers all

Welcome back! I remember your name, for sure. That's an interesting analogy to some functions of the Civil Defence Corps. I'm glad things worked well for you during the pandemic.

Welcome back.
Civil Defence Corps sounds a bit 'militaristic' and may appeal to the survivalists amongst us. Not that I see anything wrong with that. When TSHTF, we will all be defending our preps and our homes a lot more than we need to at the moment.
