What makes for a good RV

[preservefreak]

I know it wasn't the question asked but what I like about RVs is the relationships forged. I've been to 4 RVs, most in Yorkshire, and on all of them I've met people I would be happy to work with during a disaster.

OK, now to answer the actual question: for me it's a relaxing environment where you can talk freely. I like being able to talk kit and actually have it to hand, that's not happened often for me as most have been in public places.

I think the ideal format is the first RV be friendly and open where people can get to know one another, and then maybe have follow up ones be more project/learning based. Maybe a weekend or whole day where everyone tries lots of prepping related things with lots of time to discuss in between. just my opinion
