Hi all

Hi Alan

Welcome to the forum. There's loads of information on here, but if there's something you don't know, don't be affraid to ask. We've all been in the starting seat at some point, so any questions you want to ask but are scared to ask, we'll be able to look back and think "I remember when I asked that question."

The area you're from could be very helpful to get you in touch with other preppers and survivalists in the area that may be able to help you along.

What has gotten you into this mindset? (don't worry about sounding strange, I'm hearing so much about 2012, even that's starting to trip me out a bit haha).
