Hi From Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales

[nickmeaney]

Hi folks, looking for like minded people from south wales for a link up and exchange of ideas. New to the concept of prepping but not to the idea that something is not right. I have been trying to get a degree of off the grid living and self sustainability for a while. I have my own allotment 15x8 poly tunnel, 6 chickens 4 x rain barrels and solar panels on the way. If anyone wants to get in touch and share ideas please get in touch.

Thanks

Nick

A good start Nick, we have had our chickens just over a year now, and have had at least two eggs a day since. far too many for our own use so we sell on the excess, so they are keeping themselves most of the time.

Being in the Plumbing industry I also get a chance to pick up used plastic water cisterns for water storage along side a few barrels.

Thinking about it, you probably need more water-butts than Solar panels down your way, it is usually a tad damp down by the Heads of the valleys.

Hi the gnole,

Where is home for you? You are obviously well acquinted with the heads of the valleys weather..

I am (WAS) a property developer, I have just completed an eleven house project in the middle of the credit crunch, I am lucky to come away with my sanity

I am also a freelance It consultant and left the intelligence corps HM Forces Army a few years ago. pretty varied skill set but i am as practical as a chocolate fire guard when it comes to practical building.

I am picking up another 6 chickens shortly too and maybe 2 ducks
