Hi From Southwest England

Post by specialist »

hi from South West England

hello
i live in the southwest of England
i have been into survival & prepping from a very early age my father taught survival skills to military all over the world, so had a varied up-bringing.
i went to join the Royal Marines at 18 but due to a motorcycle accident and having the bottom of my left leg torn off i did not get in, so they stiched the leg back togeather and after 2 years of re-hab and learning to walk again i managed to get myself back to fitness, and joined the French Foreign Legion 5 Years later i came back to England,years after that i now own a couple of businesses and practice my skills as often as possible one of my side lines is that i organize 4x4 and motorcycle expeditions all over the world, i have been to India, Africa, ( London to Cape town in landrovers ) all of europe Russia ( leicester square to Red Square on Motorcycles) Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and several visits to S**t Creek.
i own a landrover 110 Deffender which is fully loaded, and i also own a KTM 990 And a Triumph Tiger.
i am also into growing my own veg and i am currently looking to buy woodland and grazing land to convert into a big allotment.
i like wide open spaces,Motorcycles, Landrovers, challenges, adventures, Beer, Good times, Beer, Steak, and Beer. when it comes to life i like to take a big Bite !
i by no means pretend to know everything but like to help as much as i can, but also like to learn from others. refuse to get old having none of it,
my attitude in life is to offer help if needed, but also to carry the responsibility of knowledge without attitude.
so a big hearty hello and i look forward to talking to you all :D

Hi Specialist,

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here. Sounds like you have had an interesting life! Hopefully you will share some of your experiences with us along the way!

Crack open a beer (ok, maybe not yet, its only 1040) and have a delve through the posts and feel free to dig up any old posts :)

Cheers, Scoobie.
