Hello, I would like to introduce myself to the hive. I've been a long time "lurker", and wished that I could participate in some of the discussions that is carried on here. I finally took the plung! I'm liked minded and feel that not only will I learn new things but that I will be able to provide contributions also.
I feel that I will be more of an asset if I can fully interact in the discusstion. I'm looking forward to the ride...

welcome This is a bit off-topic but, Chef, sir, I saw you tell off that serviceman who complained about not being able to eat on post during an 8 hour watch, and you told him about your ¨exploits¨ a tiny bit, I was amazed. Thank you for your service to freedom.  |

Welcome to the SF 
Do you have a plan for; fire? severe weather? pregnancy? job loss? vehicle loss? Making a plan will only cost the time and paper to write it on. A plan will enable you to organize your actions and purchases in the future Quoted:
Prepare for the most likely first and the least likely last. So you ask; what is the most likely event? Quoted:
Start by thinking back over the last 20 years of your life and what emergencies you faced. Things like: flood loss of employment fire tornado blizzard loss of electricity car died out on the road (happened to me tonight 15 miles out of town - 15 degrees and very windy out) etc. these are things that will probably happen again. take steps to deal with those problems first. SF History—has been posted in SF since I joined the SF: 3 SF members that are recovering from job loss homes lost to fire posted here in SF 5 or more BOVs totaled by accident 5 now 7 now probably more new little SFers born 1 SF family has suffered the loss of a child to illness. Visits to the ER due to infection, injury, and insect sting allergy 5 or more hurricanes 1 SFer had to stay a week in the hospital How should you live your life now that you are a survivalist? Quoted:
Live like "it" will never happen, prep like "it" will. Who’s who of the SF (please forgive me if I don’t spell all the names perfectly) Frank Squid—posts occasionally one of the founders or the founder of SF TomJefferson(TJ)—top moderator of SF and poster SF family. TJ is a great source of wisdom and stories. Paul—suburban SFing and expedition offroading. Halffast—author of some well known fiction Feral—homesteading or farming. frozenny—financial survival. Protus—apartment survivalism and outdoor skills die-tryin(dt or DT)—poster BOV of SF Ops—lived SF for decades, poster SF family 1bigbunker—builds houses Ferfal308—he’s living through a collapse in another country biere—general knowledge donne3—mom to a bunch of SFers CJan_NH—generator use and the poster AR15 spare parts kit Wolfcri—has some good welding skills Skibane—knows something about EMP and flashlights shibumiseeker—modern homesteading, off grid living, and BOVs There are others, but I have not caught the above posters posting trash or foolishness.

Background? Current EBR owner? Edit. welcome. sorry, i'm rude "Rude" come on, like I said...Lurking! I know! Anyways, I have Military and L.E. background. I consider myself pretty verse in survival, both in the wilderness and the streets. I was an electrician for a little over five years, can cook as well on a stove as I can a fire (and others can eat it also). And no, I am not an EBR owner. I don't think it's needed! |
