Re: Hi from Sussex..
Ok a bit more about myself....
Yes ive been prepping for sometime and in this ecomomic climate there seems to be many reasons to do so. You will be pleased to know that although there are countless other theories why to prep the most immediate will be the very real chance of a bad winter. We as British are all aware of how the country comes to a stand still when it snows..... Thats not to say im not prepared for other scenarios..
Ive worked in retail superstore management for 9 years and have always been amazed at how the public panic buy when the snow comes and how the petrol pumps run dry when there is talk of fuel shortages. With winter on our doorsteps and talk or it being a bad one people would be best advised to stock up. If the roads are blocked by heavy snow then the petrol tankers cant get through, this means no fuel for cars or haulage firms and in return no food deliveries to shops. After 3 to 5 days you will be looking at shelves being emptied by those lucky enough to get to the shops. And dont count on there being water in the tap if your pipes freeze or the water mains burst !
I now work in security and have done so for 15 years, i also have a small team of 10 or so guys that work for me. Iam in a unique position that allows me to live and work at a rural location of about 150 acres. I have access to lake fed by a river and stocked with fish and the ability to hunt a range of wildlife from rabbits, duck to deer if needs must. The area is surrounded by woods that fuel my log fire and im also able to store large amounts of heating oil and diesel, so i count myself lucky.
So thats a little bit more about me, look forward to your comments and questions you may have
