She has a broad skill set and is especially skilled in knitting, dressmaking and gardening. She'll rustle up an amazing meal from just about anything, and we always have a well-stocked larder. She was a young leader in the Guides, and is skilled in campcraft. She's fairly open minded about the whole "we're going to hell in a handcart" thing, and isn't as wary about the future as I am, but she just has a natural prepping mentality that means she doesn't have to have a reason to prep. She just does it anyway. She's certainly happy to do her share of being down first thing in the morning to clear out the Rayburn.
You certainly have a great partner there Tarrel. My wife has never liked any sort of forum that I have been involved with, yet she is hopefully joining this forum tomorrow and she wants to go on a 'ladies prepping course' so it just goes to show doesn't it how 'prepping' is a very natural thing for women.
I was told that it was because women are natural getherers for their families that the shops and shopping industry target them directly and use that wonderful talent they have inorder to empty their purses.
I'm hoping that 'Survival UK' has some training courses for the ladies, from what I have read on here so far both male and female members are up for it. It's gratifying to know that many of us have not only the full support of our partners, but in many cases the ladies/men are taking the lead.
All we need to do now is convince the 'Non Believers'
