Hello from Holland.

Post by Isabo »

Hello fellow preppers,

I am Isabo a prepper from The Netherlands. Next year I'll turn 50. Can't wait for that.
With 3 adult children with special needs, who still live at home, it's a lot of work preparing.
Last October I joint the dutch preppercommunity on www.preppers.nl because there are things changing in the world. For example the weather in G.B.
I noticed that people who's homes where flooded often did not have toilet paper anymore or water in bottles. So I started to stock up.
I bought the book " how to survice a crisis" from Dick Berts (only in dutch) and became aware of the vulnarability of our water and electric system (don't know the propper term for this, sorry). Now I have water filters, solar chargers, canned food and other food supplies, water in bottles and everything for our food, water and cleaning needs for a month in advance incl animal foods. Still, not enough, I know. I even got a tent (hate camping) and a enfirovit rocket stove (love it).
A few weeks ago I started a twitter account because it's the fastest way to get the news and a woman named Surviver Jane immediately followed me. It's her tweeds that made me aware of this forum and here I am.
If I don't know the right word for something of make a spelling mistake, please forgive. I do my best.

Hi and welcome. If this lot can put up with my spelling I'm sure they will be fine with someone who's first langue is not english. It's nice to know that other country's have preppers

Thank you.
We have an very active group. It's a joint Dutch/Belgium with a forum (recently added was an english section to get in contact with other countries), a webshop and even a shelter camping. Never been there but it's great fun I hear and has a lot of learning experiences.
