Hi,
I've been a regular reader of these forums for around 18 months, but have now decided it's time to participate more actively. I started prepping after a long winter's night drive to collect relatives from an airport - my daydreams as I drove suddenly hit me. I realised I was driving down a snowy motorway in a car with a fan belt that screamed at anything over 2000rpm. I thought forward, and also realised that I was miles from anywhere with nothing but a light jacket for protection. My entire life depended on the car, the engine, the fan belt. When I made it safely home, I vowed I would never put myself - or my family - into such a reckless position again. This site has been a great help, and whilst I have little specific experience or knowledge, I hope to continue to learn from the rest of you.
Regards
