I don't know if I would call myself a "prepper", but I have always tried to store excess food and water, and bought bulk and "just in case" supplies. In the last few years I have seen some of my friends and families attitude towards some of the things I do shift from thinking I'm a bit of a mad hoarder, to me appearing quite sensible!

With the state of the world in general, and recently having had a baby, I am thinking a lot more about all aspects of preparedness and how to fit them around my life.
Getting my wife on board with all this hasn't been too challenging, but I wouldn't say she completely understands it just yet!
Hope to learn a lot from the forum.
