Hi, I've been prepping on some level since I was a kid but I guess about 9 years ago I got serious and joined a great forum. I then had a break from the group about 3 years ago as I was relocating overseas and had to get rid of or give away a large portion of my food prep. I then went back to the forum to find it had changed somehow. The main people seemed to be gone and the conversation was trivial almost as though the group was deliberately dismantled...so I am moving on and hoping this might be a bit more serious while I now try to get myself back on track.
