Hello from Glasgow

Post by philli2013 »

Hello totally new to prepping, but have been thinking about it for a while!

I'm 24 and live just outside Glasgow, looking for advice and ideas from experienced preppers :lol:
Trying to prep for the collapse of society due to the power grid being destroyed/damaged from solar flares and the more likely event in the UK a horrible winter disrupting transportation.

Hello and welcome. You are fogtunate in your location as you are able to take your kit out in the woods etc, camp out play with your kit and practice learning t make fire. In the rest of UK except Dartmouth its basically illegal...

Thanks for the link preppingsu seems like a good place to start! :D

Yeah krisward got easy access to the countryside definitely a positive of being up here, would mind if it was slightly warmer though :lol: but learning to start a fire without modern comforts (lighter etc) is something I'm going to have to learn, wish I'd payed more attention in the scouts now!!
