Hello from Florida

Post by NurseAnge37 »

My name is Angela. I originate from Liverpool but live in Florida now. Interested in what other Brits make of the prepping mania that is sweeping the US. Been a prepper for years (just didn't know what it was called) because of the Florida weather but now things have taken a different turn as it looks like the economy is about to collapse.

We have a BOL already and lots of prepping done to get us through the worst possible scenario :tinfoil . If nothing happens, we have an excellent camp for back to nature holidays. I am now looking into getting a radio ham license in the US that will allow me to use the higher frequencies and contact people overseas.

Being a scouser, I don't like to pay too much for anything so Hubby and I have just started working on building a solar power unit that will power our whole house. We will have our own energy independence in a bit and no more power bills, yay!! Prepping is not just for nerds and weirdos after all :ugeek:

Hi Angela, glad you found us. I am very glad you are here, as I watch the US economy quite closely so it's great to have someone 'on the ground' as it were, to tell us exactly what's what.

Welcome. :mrgreen:

Hi ItsyBitsy and Wolfie. Thanks for throwing out the welcome mat :) Nice to be here among civilized people again.

There is something remarkably untrustworthy about the US government so I figured you guys would have been told a different story than the one they are shoving down our throats over here. We'll see; but our glorious leader, King OBummer, is apparently all set to rule in a totalitarian fashion :( Getting prepped for the worst (just in case).

Tough to prep when you are not native I find. Currently prepping for the close family but my medium term plan is to prep for the slightly larger family. Not sure how to include the overseas ones though :? . Having said that, they are more likely the ones to be worrying about us! :D

Welcome :)
