Hello Preppers Team

My Name is Ben and i live in Sussex...Been in the military and doin security....i been very interested in getting prepped for any kind ov disaster situation and i am glad to see i am not alone ....last 6 months did start slowly gettin supplies but equipment costs money and economy for all ov us i belive is hard...
Seein whats goin on in the world its quite worring even more worrying seein most people not even care or realise how dangerous things are getting.
Would like to hear from someone here that lives in Sussex that can give me some tips.....problem is England its an Island and if something happens all ov us r stuck here so if we are i thought we better team up becouse i dont got a boat and even if i am a very goood swimmer wouldnt be advisable to cross the channel...lolz
When it comes to equipment i m slowly getting there....Got communications,NBC Equipment just need some new filters for my S10 gas mask and filters are very difficult to get by the way...have been storing can food,water,other essentials...problem is i live in suburban area and seein what happen in UK with riots recently imagine riots if shops for food were shut or something...it would be anarchy...anywyaz enough ov me talking...would like to hear your advice....hope you finded interesting what i sayd....take care all....

welcome Ben, sounds like you've made a good start already. Finances hold us all back from prepping as much as we would like so we do what we can. Something is better than nothing.
Take your time to read through everything. We have had some discussions about BOL's (bugout locations) for those living in urban areas, as well as having a cache or 2, which may be something to think about.

preppingsu thanks for the info and rest ov you welcoming me...was thinkin doin a secret cache as i am waitin for my new bugout pack then i can use my old one as my secret cache...idea for me is to get to know other people with different skills localy that are preppers too that we can team up and exchange the skills...I been in the army for 7 years and after i quit i never realy quit guess once in the army always that attitude,after that been doin security and Close Protection so i do got experience on that level but teaming up with other preppers will give us better ability to cope with emergencies i belive.
Got a very good old military equipment supplier and i can get quite allot ov military equipment thats quite hard to get...recently bought 2 military Clansman RT 350 trancevers each 60£ with all extras and much more....As i know them personaly at this shop they will repair them for me for free and any faulty gear can replace for free too but will but 2 more radios just in case for parts and repairs....Planing as well to get Base Station Transcever but quality ones are over 800£ so its gona got to wait....Have been lookin into making my own EMP Protective Box or buy one as i wana keep my electronics safe....anywayz got so much to add but will post some pictures ov my equipment soon. By the way any Preppers from Suusex or close to Sussex would like to get in contact with you and mabye met up for a drink...Take Care All....
