I am a carer for my 2 grown up disabled chidren and have been interested in all things preparedness for about 5 years now, stocking up the up the cupboards and a number of other interests ranging from Gardening to craftwork.
I prepare for emergencies and also when i just can't get out, i am always scouting for ideas and prepare every day in some small way.
I am a non violent person and therefore not interested in the use of gun's either for self defense or otherwise, i am just interested in preparedness.
I would like to be self sufficent, or as far down that road as i can get, going back to the old ways as much as possible, including the use of things like paraffin heaters and lamps and that sort of thing.
I do a number of craft projects for the house and have a sewing machine and knitting machine, but knit a huge amount of socks.
I look forward to hearing your ideas and sharing mine with you all.
(thanks)
