I have just started a new blog on Blogger called Preparations. The concept is that I will there record my own experience as a 'Prepper' getting ready as far and fast as I can for whatever the future holds in store for us/me, locally, nationally, globally.

Latest News: “Prepare for a three to five degree C warmer world”
Here is the text of a post I just made on my Facebook page: This confirms what I have been saying for some time now. Quote: "(Now) all the promises in the world, which we’re not likely to realise anyway, will not give us a world with only a two degree C rise.”. Quote: "Prepare... Continue Reading →
Electricity Consumption
Here is a picture of my household electricity consumption over the last two years, extracted from my most recent utility bill.
