Thanks helicopilot. I was just trying to clarify my position, I'd hate to think that people would make a bad choice based on incomplete information. I've had the advantage of some unique training and have had the necessity to apply it. If this can be of some benefit to someone else, I 'd like to do pass it on.

As I've said before, I'm a rookie Prepper. I know nothing about growing crops or raising livestock, canning, and so many other aspects. I've got a lot to learn. I also enjoy your posts and welcome your input.

Good folks in here. My professional background was construction in James bay, Algeria, so understand working and living in cold, heat and reading people and keeping my body parts whole. Then in security. Surveillance, counter surveillance, anti terrorism, threat risk assessments, contracts on parliamentary precinct, two internationally published reports... worked with some great folks keeping nation secure and on some very interesting projects of a “discrete”nature. Semi retired and also wishing to pass on info.

Probably The biggest thing that I see impacting people etc and that I hope I can help with are finding the wholes in a plan and finding solutions that are real world. People and institutions are heavy on the concept of a guard in the front lobby, but all the other doors being wide open! See the gaps all the time in my line of work.

Need to be real world, stay grounded and try and accommodate as many scenarios as possible with resources available. Yes and thanks as well helicopilot for your insights.
Cheers.
