A bit about me for your info - Jack - 16 April 2013
Hello chaps and chappettes.
My name is Jack and thought I'd say hello and introduce myself.
Keeping things on topic I won't mention hobbies and such that aren't relevant, this is after all a serious subject.
Iv been mentally preparing myself for one disaster or another since the early age of 13, now just as many years later at 26 I still can't say I am prepared, but that in itself is the right attitude to have.
I joined the army (infantry) at 17, picked up an injury a few years later making me unfit for active service but remained in the mod as a consultant, specifically in urban survival techniques and strategies.
After a marriage and a child I left my cushty though turbulent job for a life in steady civi street in transport (rail) which was a real eye opener to how fragile a lot of this country's infrastructure is...
I'm an active marksman, I shoot targets for practice and rabbit-muntjac-and other small game for enjoyment and food plus their skins (though still have a lot to learn about tanning effectively). I use a non FAC rifle and have no interest in acquiring a certificate, the reason being they will be more than useless in a survival or world changing event.
Feel free to ask anything on any of my future posts, I like to help and will give my two cents on most subjects.
Looking forward to trawling through the forum,
Jack

Hello Jack
I think you'll find a lot of mixed views on the FAC issue here.
What area are you from?

Hello Tonka,
I'm sure I will! And I'm sure my views on it are in the minority camp but have done extensive research into this issue where my opinion comes from. I actually wouldn't mind an 22LR to take care of the foxes on one of my permissions but I was coming from a purely survival viewpoint earlier
I'm n the southwest (wilts).
Jack
