Welcome to the forum. Knowledge is your most valuable prep.

 

[Holly1]

I agree. It weighs nothing and is easy to pack too lol

 

[DrHenley]

Howdy from Georgia!

 

[Holly1]

Thank you, Dr Henley, for your kind greeting. How is Georgia these days? I hope that in Columbus you are far enough from the crazy that is Atlanta? I saw some walk by footage and dang! Keep well, mate.

Welcome from Swizerland

Je vous remercie pour votre aimable accueil or Vielen Dank für Ihren freundlichen Empfang, Freund ... which ever is best for you. As you can see, your English is far better than either my French or German. I hope all my lovely friends in Switzerland are doing well. I hope your fuel prices are not going too crazy. i would be very happy to hear anything that you want to talk about that is happening in Switzerland just now. All the best and please be safe, friend.

Humid!
Yes there is sufficient separation from Hotlanta that we don't get their craziness, but we have our own unique local craziness. LOL
But people here are more civil about it.

Welcome, from the radical left stronghold of Portland, OR.

How prepared are you at present, and for what are you prepping?

 

[Mountain Dragon]

Welcome from the swiss mountains. Over here everything is anyway more expensive, not only the fuel (wich is still high price)

 

[Schattentarn]

Welcome from Raccoon City. Are you in a rural or urban setting in the UK Holly?

 

[EastenerWesterner]

Welcome from the place nobody likes.

Welcome from upstate NY

Upstate NY huh? Wow, that is a big area. I hope the hikes in fuel prices don't hurt you or the ones you care about this winter, friend. Please be well.

Welcome from Raccoon City. Are you in a rural or urban setting in the UK Holly?

Hello Schattentarn, I hope this is not Raccoon City from the Resident Evil scenario. If so, I hope you are blatting those zombies lol. I'm in the country, mate. Things seem to be holding up oaky for now. My worry is that this is just a temporary thing and that things get bad fast. All the best to you and your family, mate.

Welcome from the highlands!

Tapadh leat, a cho-ogha. My ancestors originated in the Highlands. Sorry but I have just burnt out all my badly spelled attempt at the language my father tried to teach me. How are you all doing up there? I still got folks up past Inverness. Not heard from them in a long while, mind. I know that you are in touch with the way our ancestors lived and I have no fear for you or any doubt that you WILL see this through. I know we Will be typing to each other again soon. Until then ... Slangevar!

Lots of nice things in California! To bad most of them are infested with humans.

Good news indeed, pal. Please feel free to load a shotgun or a real good huntin' rifle on my behalf, when it hits and when dealing with the 'stumbling doom' haa haa. God speed and the very best of wishes.

Welcome from the place nobody likes.

The place nobody likes? Friend, please excuse my ignorance and stupidity - where is this place? Please do not dox or compromise situational safety ... just a place on the map nearby, mate. I am not a tree hugger or a bunny lover but neither do I lump people into a big group to be 'the place nobody likes' ... I disagree with almost everyone who lives near me. I am not a radical. I don't hate any one really. I do wish people would talk more though. If you feel safe then maybe give me a country that is close to ours. Until you feel safer, please be well. Please know that I will be thinking of you.

Gosh Oregon, some of that State will get tough. I hope you are in the boonies! I don't 'prep' or stockpile - nature gives me more than I could ever need. How prepared? Erm ... okay, I'll take a run at this ... if western civilisation ended tonight, I'm not sure I'd notice.

Best wishes, Mountain Dragon, and thank you for greeting me so kindly. Yes indeed, the prices that good Swiss people pay day after day would make my ears bleed. I really don't know how any of you make an even break. I hope inside my heart that you and your family and all friends are doing well.

I do love my Swiss and German cousins. I am an Engineer. Many of my Swiss friends may be engineers too. German friends may be engineers too. I apportion zero blame but I ordered a Sig Sauer in November 21. Swiss and German cousins, any idea what is going on to disrupt shipping to UK just now?
Maybe you know some one who knows some one? Right?
NEVER DOXX A LIVING SOUL!
I am not looking to blame. I will never put up any complaint. I just want my Sig Sauer!
If there is a lovely Swiss or German cousin that can give a better explanation than "it is held up in customs" I would really like to hear it. Any ideas on what is going on, Beloved Cousins?

I am so very sorry. I did not see that you are from Montana. Please forgive my ignorance. I come from the smallest of places but our ego (displayed here) are too big to imagine. So from the big sky state. Your scenery would be breath-taking to me. i cannot imagine what it might be like just to camp out and see the sun rising in your homeland, Wow!
I am so very sorry.
So are you Lakota Souix? Do you feel that the Red and Blue Kachina are coming very close? I know this is more Hoppe prophecy and I hope that you forgive my stupidity. I feel something is coming. Are any of your family feeling it? It is like the things we know are going to change beyond what we can imagine.

I do not think that you are stupid at all. By the way Souix is kind of like Europe. Lakota, Oglala, Dakota, Hunkpapa, Teton, Blackfoot, Miniconjou, Two Kettle, and Brule. All are Souix. I am American. And so are they.

Its my standard welcome line. I am next state south of Helenback tucked safely away in the mountains. Be on here long enough and you will see why I say it. Everyone else gets a chuckle too.

Let's just say you're on the "Left Coast" LOL
