Post by Bubbles »

Hi to all,
I'm fairly new to prepping but have spent most of my life preparing in a less conventional sense.
Have a lot of military experience, I was an CBRN instructor, advanced driving instructor, military butcher, and combat medic. I lucked out on a lot of cool courses.
I've always stockpiled but only because I spent most of my youth going without so become a habit.
I live in the southwest and love to hike and often spend time with my daughter and dog just exploring the surrounding area.
I drive a 4x4 just thought force of habit - I love the big machines.
I've learnt a lot of valuable lessons through Brecon and other challenges.
I'm on here for to help and be helped, I know there is probably a few hardened prepped who I can learn from and I'm sure there are a few with all the gear and..... Well you know.
Looking forward to any and all advise.

Thanks. I've got a few controversial ideas that I want to run by people on this forum but I haven't found any relevant posts yet but I'm sure I'll find one eventually.
Looking forward to all the banter... I mean advise you can dish out.

No not conspiracy theories, but it depends on your definition I guess. It was more about people's thought on gang and militia mentality?
The other one was about doing what's necessary not what's right?
I have conflicting views so I wanted so thoughts on the subjects.
I just wanted to establish myself before looking like the slasher of the southwest.
