I'm not that into it as yet, but I've had it in the back of my mind for many many years now and can see its time I got moving on this, so I'll be hitting you with plenty of questions.

Cheers

It's cool to be at your own level. Some things seem really hardcore to me, like storing loads of water and the alike. But that's only because I live in an area that is water-full.
Other things like storing food I understand and agree with (not that I disagree with water storing).
I'm not massively into protecting currency and that kind of thing either. I make a reasonable wage, so it's not a huge effector for me.
When it comes to protecting those that I love and hold dear.....BRING ON THE EXTREME!!! haha

All the things I want to do are thing that I find fun to do anyway, like camping in the middle of nowhere with a 12 mile hike home. I would have done that whether into survivalism or not. Other fun things include; build my own specialised BOV and BOL. But there other things are a little boring, but still worth doing (storing toilet paper for example).

Each person comes in at the level they are okay with and we accept that fully. Also, if you're like Binary Ninja (000111010) or myself, you are limited by location factors. If you live in an upstairs flat, you can't build a celler under the floor. Or if you live in a rented room, you can't build a diesel storage system or start setting up solar panels on the roof :'(

So we all come as we are and do what we can.

Small steps lead to big preps.
