Wow! Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I'm a bit star-struck actually, since as a lurker you're all already 'names' to me. I'm sitting here going 'Wow! Highlander/IKE/Hrusai replied to my post!!!'
Sadly, I'm probably not as far along as I sound. I've always made notes when browsing these boards, and there's never a thread where I don't come away with something else I hadn't thought of. Still, I'm at the stage where at least I know I know nothing, and that has to be a start. (I hope).
I'm in a grotty suburban village a few miles from St Albans. Lots of woods nearby, plus a lake, streams, ducks etc, but still a bit close to Londonistan - and Luton - for safety. I'll like it a lot better if there are other preppers around - *waves furiously at Secret Prepper*.
And Mandlaka - you wouldn't be hungry if you smelt my cheese. Trust me on this.
Oh, and Scythe13 - at the risk of being grovelly, I just have to say how much I've enjoyed your posts. I write for a living, but your descriptions make me laugh out loud.
