I once belonged to a UK prepping group which was organized in a similar fashion (board wise) but then I moved and lost contact. In the event I've just lost my mind completely, thought I would take a moment and say 'hi'. I think I follow this group on Twitter?
Anyway, long ago and far away from Hong Kong; moved back to the USA (California) last year moved to Texas...where prepping is the norm, not the oddity. Truly refreshing.
Did a two week "live only on your preps" challenge which was very illuminating (read at
http://justkathrynl.blogspot.com if you've nothing better to do), learned a lot. Realized with a vegan daughter we didn't have a lot of food stores which she could eat, so I became a freeze dried foods distributor (not a plug, just a fact) which has made us feel a lot more comfortable as far as meeting her food needs is concerned.
Mom of 5, one lives overseas in Guam, one in CA, three here in Texas (oldest son is a paramedic...can I tell you how bizarrely difficult it is to put together a solid medic kit??) Anyway, that's about it.
Looking forward to reading the site. If this is the group I think it is, I learned a lot from you all before; if it's a new group, I look forward to learning more!
