Hi from South Yorkshire
Hi Everyone,
I live close to the peatlands on the SouthYorks/North Lincs border.
My interests include(apart from prepping) woodcarving , military radio ,EDC and collecting maps.
I have recently passed my amateur radio foundation test,now studying for the intermediate.

Cheers NorthernRaider
I must admit i was tempted to use Clansman, but i thought it might bring back bad memories to any ex sigs lads on the forum .
My map collection is getting daft now, her indoors says i need to see a shrink. I dare'nt tell her that i am going to start updating them all soon

NothernRaider - I don't think the MOD will ever get comms right, there will always be a compromise somewhere.

RE: Hi from South Yorkshire
Thanks for the welcome fella's,
I just want to make one thing clear, i am not ex Army, my interest in mil radio comes from my Dad (ex Sigs). I aint no sad walt either.
Sorry to get serious, but i would hate to give the wrong impression .
You are right about the clansman Tigs
RoadWarrior - I would recommend getting the 1:25,000 maps of your present area. They are invaluable.

Welcome to the forum.
What's your background with prepping? What is it you're prepping for in specific?
Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism - Thomas Jefferson
Those who sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither - Benjamin Franklin
