Introducing Me
Hi all,
I am from the NW of England I have a family who isn't on-board with prepping which I find frustrating ! I find prepping hard due to this but I sell it to the wife as saving money(buying in bulk) lol.
Anyway I have been reading alot recently and thought it was time to post.

RE: Introducing Me
Welcome to the forum, from the Scottish Highlands
Often those around us who are not on side, think prepping is only for a doomsday type event, but often you can bring them on board by telling them that Prepping can also be for the loss of your job, or retirement, or the fuel strike,... try and get her to remember past emergencies where food or fuel was not obtainable,... this is often a way of making them think,... they may not be on board right away, but it can set a seed that can often grow into a prepper
A major part of survival is invisibility.

RE: Introducing Me
Hello DG and welcome to the Forum, from SW Scotland. I know what kind of difficulty you have - it's no easy task to get someone on board when, (as in my case,) they believe that prepping is 'just his wee hobby to keep him busy'!
Softly, softly, catchee monkee...
