Welcome To ‘Preparations’
Thank you for visiting this site. I hope that your stay here will be both enjoyable and informative. Whether you agree with the principles outlined here or not, I wish you well and it is my hope that you will return here often. For general information about the site, read on…

What This Site Is All About
It may or may not have come to your attention that this world is becoming an increasingly dangerous place to be. Yes, there have always been dangers for the unlucky, foolish or unwary, but in recent years, new real and present dangers are coming to the fore. How do we deal with that? How do we minimize the risks to ourselves and those around us?
Whether you arrived at this site with some pre-recognition of those dangers or this whole subject is something that you have not much considered; whether you are some way down the track in preparing yourself or whether you wouldn’t know what to do to feed yourself and your family if your plastic cards suddenly stopped working or the supermarket shelves were to become empty or would only accept cash payment; whether you are convinced that preparation for uncertainty or discontinuity in the current state of affairs is an essential part of life today or such thoughts have not previously occurred to you, it is my hope that this site will become a source of information to assist you, convince you, support you, encourage you, enlighten you to the dangers, real or potential, that exist today which would be a threat to your welfare, security and happiness in the future.
That is what this site is all about.
How to use this site
Even though it may not look much like it, this is a blog site. All the information (except the Tab Pages) has been uploaded as blog posts and strategically arranged with the intention that specific subject matter can be easily located and will provide direct links to the related information in other categories.
If you take action to prepare yourself as described on this site for some or all of the listed threats, you can justifiably call yourself a Prepper.
For more on this, and to discover why I decided to build the site, I strongly urge you to read the introductory post titled First Things First located under the HOME tab or here directly,
The site contains three main databases or post clusters. The tab headings under which they are grouped are: SCENARIO, SKILLS and RESOURCES. A tab for NEWS and a place to leave COMMENT complete the facilities
SCENARIO
This is a list of potential threat situations. Each scenario is described and may be further subdivided by possible causal events. Links are provided to skills and resources that may assist to get through such situations.
SKILLS
Skills are personal knowledge acquired and practised towards solving a problem of some sort. The skills described here may be provided with links to essential resources for task performance.
RESOURCES
Anything, as far as possible, that will be required to help get you out of a particular threatening situation in association with one or more of the Prepper’s skills, will be listed here.
NEWS
In addition to these essential components of the way of the Prepper, I have included a News tab which will provide related items of interest to Preppers, alerts on potential threats (where known) and a place to randomly browse through all of the posts on the site as though it were a normal blogsite (though why you would want to do that I am not sure).
COMMENT
Finally, there is a Comment tab. Comments have been disabled on all posts to this site, mainly as it is meant to be a reference facility not a public forum. However. I recognise that interested people may wish to comment generally or to suggest corrections, improvements or extensions to published data or to provide information on relevant ideas that have not been previously explored on the site. Such comments are welcome. The Comment tab page provides more detail.
Something About Navigation
Some effort has been put into providing appropriate linkages and groupings for the various categories of related information in order to make this site as usable as it reasonably can be (in a blog), and to cater for the different methods that people tend to employ when conducting general research.
Since some of the data presented is quite long, Top of Page return links are conveniently provided.
Additionally, if no other method is available, the user can always utilise the normal browser Back (and Forward, when applicable) paging options to return to a previously accessed page. This is particularly useful when using the site Search option. Searches may result in a number of hits being listed and it is best to use browser backing to return to the search list after following each result link in these cases.
Go For It!
I hope that you find this facility both interesting and useful. There are many good Prepper websites available which contain a wealth of valuable material. Far more information than will probably be provided here. But I have not so far found one that has a similar structured approach to the subject as I have attempted here. Whether that is a useful thing to do, or not, only time will tell.
I am aware that this is not the most enjoyable of ways to spend your valuable time, but I hope that you are aware or will become aware that any time and resources spent in preparation and practice in this way can only stand you in good stead if and when, or perhaps just when, you are called upon to use it in times of real hazard or difficulty.
None of this information is copyrighted (To the best of my knowledge). It is information that should rightly be out there and available in the public domain for easy location and easy reference (The main purpose of this site) by anyone concerned enough to use it for their own protection.
