Hello from Norfolk

Hi,
I've been interested in preparing for an uncertain future for about 4 years. It grew out of an interest in wilderness survival, and I eventually began to stumble across sites like this, though most were american. I read J.W. Rawles's site quite a lot, but the fact it was targeting Americans left much to be desired.
I'm in the ACF, which is a great way to get some military training and applicable survival knowledge. I have been gradually turning my family around to this way of thinking, though still have a long way to go. For example, whilst my parents can see the sense in having a month's worth of food put away, they cannot grasp the idea of anyone wanting to take it, with any discussion on security concerns leading to rolled eyes. Luckily my younger brother shares my interest; still a pipe-dream, but we may end up pooling some money and buying a smallholding.
I am attemtping to form a preparation / discussion group via some posters at college, but have only got 1 reply. 5 slips with my email have been taken, so there is hope yet.
