OCD or common sence

Iv either got OCD or I'm been very sensible

Iv started getting in to prepping iv always had it in me when I first got married I would fill the pantry up with tins ext so we would always have food but Martyn would moan so I stopped but thinking of how the uk has got over the last few years. Food is getting more and more expensive to buy people are losing there jobs and the second any adverse wether comes along to supermarkets get empty. Now I know this will sound like paranoia but the uk knows what it is like to be hungry we are so better off than many of the poor countries but during the war food went first even when you had the money to buy food it was still impossible to find. The uk replies on so many other countries for it produce even back then and today's market is just as bad. Once upon a time us been an island went for us been able to protect all sides now however now it is against us we no longer have the room, the wether or the money to be self efficient again.

I not saying we will go to war again or anything drastically life threatening will happen but as the bills rise up so dose my worry on feeding my family.
I am unsure how to start prepping so to speak and there is so much different information out there.
The one thing I am going to work towards is to have 3 months food produce so if the shit did hit the fan and food became so expensive or if for any reason food became hard to get we would be safe for a while.


Now I know some people think preppers are well: selfish, mad, crazy, off there rockers and many other names beside but I truly think they have the right idea on a lot of stuff.
Do you know servivle skills? Would you know how to make shelter or cook outdoors. It takes me back to my girl guiding days we learned so much it was amazing. It's a shame that young people would not know what to do if they were not within arms reach of a plug socket.

I can't wait to teach my children how make a fire out doors and cook. I really want to go camping with them (hubby wouldn't ) we go the caravan which is half way there to camping.

It's funny we're above people may think preppers are selfish but to me I do not feel that way when I think of stocking a good food pantry I think of my parents my sisters and there family's. having enough to make up a massive pan of pasta and veggie tomato source. Or a stew

The USA preppers talk of guns/knives and weapons besides it scares me that the fighting thing goes to there heads and it becomes more important than the food ext.

When I think of prepping I often think of medical first aid having kids with additional needs it would be very important. I already have a very large first aid kids and always have medication of somewhat in the house too.

I think my first point of call will be the pound shops. They have grown in the uk over the last few years and in our little town we have around six, now when I get an idea in my head I rush in to it head long but I'm going to try keep it slow and just buy one or two extra tins when we go shopping. I will be buying big bags of pasta and rice to stock up iv seen people use the two Ltr pop bottles which look good but I'm not running to all them oxigon things to take O2 out of the food packet. I'm going for food lasting years (we haven't got room ) so as I said above like a security blanket I will work towards having 3 months stock in the house.
So yes that's me, I know many wont read hear but I'm not doing it for that so I will be back
