I really should be doing some work but, as I'm anxiously waiting a visitor bringing a box of chocolates (HANDS OFF, LIL, THEY'RE MINE!), I'm welcoming new members!
Bigmoose. Are you really a big moose? Are you over 18? What's that in human years? Are you prepping solo or for a family? What sort of job do mooses (or is it meeses?) do? Do you require a special backpack for your BOB?
I'm hobo, not because I'm a homeless (or hopeless) vagabond, rather I got my name from a Captin Beefheart song. Captain who?

I'm prepping with my Mrs and 2 kids for small things like getting ill, powercuts etc., though long term I forsee a slow decline in the quality of life in society as a whole, so I'm learning to grow and store food, investing in small scale solar, wood-based cooking and heating, and security for the house.
This morning I'm checking dates and repacking our BOBs. They live by the front door and have actually been used once when we had to evacuate with only 5 minutes notice!
Anyway, WELCOME!
