Sorry. I didn't mean to post this three times. I got an error message when I first posted. Maybe a couple can be deleted.

 

Hello all, Keith46er from upstate NY. The 46er is in recognition of being an Adirondack 46er, having climbed all 46 peaks over 4,000 feet in height. I enjoy learning and improving my survival skills and I hate talking politics. Hope that this site is a good one for sharing survival skills. Looking forward to meeting you all online.

 

Keith46er: Welcome from Missouri. good to have you with us.

 

Hi all I just joined this site because I have friends here from other forums.
I'm a married lady.

 

Good afternoon Keith 46er and Meerkat,

A warm welcome from coastal Virginia.

I'm sure you'll both appreciate participating here at MSF.COM.

I'm also sure you'll give us some needed info.

 

Meerkat: Welcome from Missouri. Good to have you with us.

 

Thank you for the welcome Prag. . I'll try to give good info too. Soon as I figure out the board.

 

Thank you Morgan.

 

Hi from California. And, yes, Californians also want to survive.

 

Welcome from Missouri. I would certainly hope Californians want to survive. Between the wildfires, drought, and earthquakes you have plenty to prepare for. Good to have you with us.

 

I am Nick (Nikola) from Balkans, a trained special forces recon sniper.
My connection with wilderness began while I was still a little kid because I grew up on a farm surrounded by woods. Everything I learned about nature through life was incorporated into my special forces training after which I returned to my farm and decided to teach others.

 

Good morning Nick, ESC,

Welcome to the forum.

You have much to offer. I am impressed that you teach others about preparedness.

Welcome all!

 

I'm a new member & I need help with a question about my past due rabbit litter. I posted it in Animal Husbandry a little while ago. Please let me know if you can help or need more information, ASAP ❣️❣️

 

Good morning Janette,

Welcome to the Forum.

I have no knowledge about rabbits but will be on the lookout for any and all material that could help.

My only experience with rabbit is I let them (2 of them) roaming freely in my little backyard along with all others which include a cat, a reticulated python (in a cage of course) and a turtle.

 

Hello everybody. I am glad to be on this place. I am from Serbia, Balkan. I am 38, full time bowyer, ex-special forces soldier, runing animal sanctuary for horses (and pigs). I am owner of small resort of nature where people come to learn elemental bushcraft and survival skills. Also I am in tracking, people and animals. Cheers!

 

Good morning Druid,

Welcome to the forum.

You've got a strong background in the skills that can help answer questions here.

Again: Welcome to MSF.COM

 

Thank you. I hope that something of my knowledge could be usefull to somebody. And I am sure that I can learn a lot from people of this place.

 

Helloo, I go by Keraz. I'm mostly interested in perma-semipermanent structures. I can pilot most vehicles (I actually know how to fly a space shuttle). I have a modest food supply, a few guns, etc. Im currently building a clay shelter in the woods by my home.
I like to think my fall-out plan is pretty solid, I might share it later.

 

Greetings, Keraz, from our homestead in southern Idaho!

Good morning Keraz,

Welcome to the Forum.

Greetings from PA

 

In OK, female, mother of 2 older kids. Have been interested in prepping for years and have been able to get things here and there, but let’s be honest, it takes money to prep. I have always been prepping for a medical emergency however am nowhere near prepared as I should be. I’ve been trying to tell ppl this current virus is going to be bad, but no one wanted to hear it, in the meantime I’ve been stocking. I don’t have enough for years but do have enough for months. I have protection as well but hoping it won’t come to that. Things are getting scarier by the day, but taking it as it comes. Hoping to get tips.

 

Good afternoon Andom,

First, a welcome.

Definitely get your 2 kids glancing at some of the posts here at the Forum. Surfing around is good for overview.

You're doing everything OK - if I may use this term !

No one is as prepared as they should be. It's part of the human condition in a civilization. If you're set up for months, you are in real good shape.

A basic rule is to talk to colleagues / friends regarding preparedness efforts and why in re the specifics - and then stop. Part of the non-responsiveness is the psychological denial; the colleagues/friends cannot handle the truth.

Preparedness requires getting your 2 kids reviewing what you do as a Prepper. Some appropriate assignments re your plans, your stockpiles, your "on the list to eventually get" will assist all of you.

Ref the medical stuff as distinct from the food: Many of us here have problems getting this. My M.D. cannot even get what is needed for a Hades event. Am mentioning this so as not to feel lonely and neglected.

If "protection" means radio contact to Ft Sill for fire missions, you do have protection !

Again, a welcome to the Forum.

Hiya', Androm, and greetings from the PNW!

 

Born in Warsaw, Poland raised in WA. Has experience in enviro-restoration, trail building, welding/fabrication, and automotive/industrial machine repair. Love nature, to craft, and to learn/share skills.

 

Good morning Albertson,

Welcome to the Forum.

You've got a good array of skills.

There's a large town named Warsaw, Virginia near here.

Again, a welcome to the Forum.

 

Greetings from Pa.Dad of 4. Always enjoyed learning about outdoor survival this type of stuff. Have done a minimal amount of prepping. Would love to here advice on how to do it on a smaller budget.

 

Good morning Haldren,

The more of your specific situation - basic location, environment, situation, anticipated perils, etc, that you are comfortable presenting on a public forum will allow many here who can provide tips and pointers on how to prep on a tight budget.

Much of the basics of Prepping can be accomplished with what is already available at your place.

Don't throw anything away - even empty 1 liter soda bottles - until you hear from those also with tight budgets !

 

Greetings,

I'm in my early 40s. All my life I've worked low wage jobs. But several years back I became interested in success and personal development. From there I spent the past 6.5 years working on a dream of mine. Finally as I was beginning to gain some traction, they decided to "shut it down."

I was planning on doing prepping when I got rich. I knew there wasn't much time left. I was hoping to succeed at my goal much earlier. But due to messed up parents, it took me too long to get my life straightened out.

Now, recognizing the circumstances we are in, I bought up about a 4-6 month supply of food (mostly quick oats.) I also bought myself some weapons (not guns, I can't afford it, and I live in Canada.) I rent a room in a poorish neighbourhood in a large city. My landlord is a psychopath who believes whatever the TV set says, and isn't prepping at all. Worse yet, his aggressive behaviour towards myself and the female roommate across the hall, is becoming increasingly more worrisome. The female roommate across the hall knows something is fishy, and she has done a small amount of prep, but not nearly as much as me.

I'm thinking that we are headed for anarchy over the next 6 months or so. I'm thinking I'll stay in the city until it gets bad and then maybe head out to the woods with a good survival book. I know that's probably not the best plan, but it's all I've got for now. I don't know what the female roommate will do. Odds are she'll stay living here, though she has other options. I don't have many other options...

 

I'm familiar with that story, lonewolf. Thank-you.

 

I can keep buying food, but I don't know how I'm going to keep it hidden. Especially if police and the military, when they get hungry, decide to go hunting door to door for food. Not to mention other trouble makers.

Thanks for the advice though. You are correct in what you say.

 

Thanks everyone, for not being judgmental that I didn't start prepping earlier.
