Hello All
Hi all.
Names Eddie.
Location is the central belt in Scotland.
I'm 40+ , married with a family , ex-Army.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense and a bit of memory recall - should quickly arrive at the idea that our society is failing.
It's not hard to miss , lack of respect for property and person , increasing violence in inner city , moving out to suburbs now.
Coupled with the unemployment situation , rising prices , fuel strikes etc
It's going to fail sooner rather than later.
Having military experience gives me a headstart in a lot of the basic aspects like bushcraft/fieldcraft , map reading , weapon handling and survival skills.
I also have a keen interest in game fishing ( trout / salmon ) and coarse fishing too.
I'm sure there are others on this forum with basically the same skillsets as myself , so its nice to be in good company.
I hope to gain some more insight into other details in planning to survive in this exact situation.
Eddie.
Trying very hard not to be paranoid.....and it aint getting easier.

Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
