when I start talking to freinds and family about the possibilities of what may happen in the future, they all turn off and dismiss it, so I needed somewhere to chat with like minded folks.
That's all fair enough. Many people have had a very similar feeling, which is why we're all here, I guess. If I knew loads of preppers, I probably wouldn't have needed to find this website for info.
What kind of event/scenario do you expect?
Personally, I'm thinking a financial collapse is my number 1 concern. However, the repercussions of this kind of event are vastly unpredictable. Much as a shooting of someone in 2011 could cause nation wide riots?!?!? What was all that about?!?!? So really, I'm not sure what could happen. It could either be totally contained by the government (I hope so, but don't really expect that to be the case), or it could be like the reporting on Northern Rock in 2007 and everyone jumps into a state of hysteria! I'm accounting for both scenarios.

I have been interested in what may happen for about 3 years and have built up my Bug out Bag in readiness.
Speak to you folks later

Okay, that makes more sense now. It would look like someone enjoyed more than one beer today haha.
Apparently beer was made/found when a viking left a piece of bread in a water goblet thing, for too long, then drank it. Hey presto...beer. Not sure about the validity of that story, but WTSHTF, you could just make loads of bread and start making beer. Or you could learn to distill your own before hand.
Our ancient ancestors, the Celts were big into Beer and that was a thousand years before the Vikings.
Oh yes, & hello there..
Wow, lots of ladies who's eyes are opening. This is a sign in itself.
