noob here

Post by aardys »

we , hi chaps, I sorta stumbled across this forum ,
all started when I decided to take up camping as my holidays , since then I been looking at camping gear etc ,
well that sorta lead me to survival equipment and all that , next thing you know , ,,,eek I end up looking at the world in a different light :o

anyway I spose it wont harm to be prepared in a small way , power cuts , fuel shortages , as we had a couple of times in the uk , and that tought me a lot about how fast people panic .
so if there was real problems I can see it becoming a run away train , well don't want to get to involved , coz where do you draw the line.
but a bit of forward planning is ok , oh yeh a couple of times in the snow I nearly got stranded in my car . eek , this year im gona put stuff in the car to help me if I need it ,
but just like to keep it real, , don't want to end up some mad prepping lunatic that thinks the end is nigh
aardy the vark :)

Hi noob,

I'm new here too, so please to meet you. You might jest about being some prepping lunatic, but remember that people who are 'different' are always laughed at, then WTSHTF they stop laughing and you are looked up to. Suddenly they are your 'friend'.

You're no loony! (though I might be - a little, ha!)
