Newbie

Post by skaterayd »

Evening all

Coastal Pembrokeshire based and dabbled in a little prepping over the years, nothing too serious and a bit scatter gun in my approach, mostly based around buying handy tools, cordage, torches...who am I kidding, ALWAYS based around buying tools, cordage, torches etc... :lol:

Seems now I have quite a collection of 'equipment' but nothing power / food / health / medical at all, hence why I'm here.

Hopefully pick up a lot of tips and advice while I browse the forums and will enjoy doing some more research to help me along my way...just no one mention tools, must not buy tools...

Hi and welcome from Cheshire..
Some buy torches, some are obsessed with lamps, or Baked beans, or stoves. It takes all sorts and you'll find all sorts here. :D
I look forward to your contributions and questions.

Welcome.
Tools are good. Even better if you know how to use them.
