ARE YOU READY
Hi Folks, as some of you know I have only been prepping for around 3 months now but reckon I am at the stage where I am almost ready for anything, I think, even the crazy scenarios like zombies and stuff and was wondering are any of you guys in the position where you are sorted and now just happy to sit back and see what comes in the future.

RE: ARE YOU READY
I've been there for a while I think.
You get to a certain level, which incidentally may be way different than another preppers plans, stores etc...
It's what suits you, what makes you feel safe and comfortable.
You may have tons of kit, i.e. spare boots, ex military combat kit etc...
or like me you may not.
I'm a very restricted budget prepper so I've not got money for wood burning stove installation in my house nor do I have a garage to store vast amounts of gear and am restricted to a small room.
I am however at some point going to convert a found gas bottle to a small wood burning stove at fraction of the price.
No its not the same as an aga wood burner stove but thats what Ive got.
And my bug out vehicle is the family car... would I like a discovery ... yes but I cant afford the insurance or road tax anyway.
Knowledge is the key to survival, the more you know the less kit you need.
But thats just my opinion.
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...

RE: ARE YOU READY
For what its worth I think your spot on Prepper 1, you can have all the gear in the world but if you have no knowledge or a weak mindset then its pretty much worthless.

RE: ARE YOU READY
I'm very comfortable with the stage I'm at. I'm now adding the more obscure stuff and, I can't controlmyself, I also add non-perishables to my food stores.

RE: ARE YOU READY
i can quite happily say that in about 2 months i should have everything ill need to survive most scenarios
just lookin through me house it's surprising how man things i already have but never realised, looking at things with a preppers eyes makes a hell of a difference!...i could confidently walk out into the countryside right now and survive for a long time
but none of that makes much of a difference, i am a long long way from where i would like to be and i will be for a while, i can see myself buying things for the next 20 years lol

RE: ARE YOU READY
I am not sure if any of us will ever be quite ready, there will always be things to do, new ideas keep popping up, a change here a change there, even rotation food from time to time, you may find a better BOL and find your plans become completly different
A major part of survival is invisibility.

Chance favours the prepared mind as the brilliant Bruce Lee once said but I think he got it from Gandy.

RE: ARE YOU READY
tbh i think we're all ready for an event, even if we're not entirely prepared.
most of us can get by on nothing but common sense and a reasonable level of fitness
