Derv from Wiltshire.

Post by Derv »

Hi from the shire.

I'm only a pup at this so go easy on me.

Just joined up as prepping has become a natural extension of a bit of a DIY ethic I seem to have, considering several scenarios lately I think is time for me and my wife to get sorted.

Got some basic provisions, Bob, escape vehicle and fuel stash and some other bits and bobs for a real apocalyptic yoyo situation.

Best bit of it all was, when I showed my wife all of the kit she didn't take the proverbial, she thought it was a good idea too.

Cheers,
Derv.

Welcome...

Sounds to me as if she's the best bit of kit you'll have ;)
If only all partners were like that.
My prepping consists of bugging out by bicycle so any comments are likely to be based on that scenario.

Cheers hamradioop! :D

I'll probably have a look at the bath one, one of my best mates has a new radio and it's prob the most convenient for us both.

Might get you on a repeater sometime once I've got my ticket.
