Mattltm I hate to say this mate, but that is one seriously SCARY Avatar you have there.

IT'S TAPE!

Seriously, I think that joke has run it's course now so I guess I should change it.

[Witch Doctor]

I'm back! After having to have some time away, as the wife said that I was getting a bit obsessed about the prepping talk, she accused me of being paranoid lol!
Bless her

[ForgeCorvus]

Just because we're paranoid doesn't mean we're wrong

[Witch Doctor]

True.....
We'll see when TSHTF!

[freenarative]

You're only paranoid (love that song) till TSHTF at which point you go from paranoid to prepared. At this point it's a case of clearing your throat, pointing your finger and yelling at the top of your lungs "TOLD YA SO!!!" Plus you know what they say about being in the kingdom of the blind don't ya?

I'm 19, male. Looking to acquiring my shotgun and firearms licence next year after an Autumn/Winter of hunting with Air Rifles. Hopefully this will tech me the basic field craft and gun safety to allow safe handling. Hopefully I will be getting myself some experience with first aid, tracking, hunting and general survival skills should we ever have a SHTF scenario in the UK. There is plenty of countryside in Lincolnshire so this shouldn't be a problem. I'm a keen explorer and love to learn new, interesting things. Not keen on sitting in a classroom to do this though!
