    Default Newbie, here!

    Hey, everybody!

    I've only been lurking here for a short time, but I believe this is probably the most complete, comprehensive survival site I've found yet. Glad I found you!

    I'm a 48 y/o female, retired Navy CPO, now a farmer on a 75-acre farm (mostly wooded) in north-central AR.

    I've been looking into survival and preps on and off for about 5 years. I have some preps stashed... but after reading "The Patriots", realized how much I'm still missing. I've attended some hands-on courses on survival (i.e., shelters, foraging, tracking, etc.) none of which were really "hard core" enough for me. (I'm not a tough-guy kind of woman, but I need to feel the challenge because I know I'm capable of more.)

    Anyway... looking forward to delving into the threads.
    See ya there!

    Welcome aboard shipmate! I think you'll like it here! You should also read "One Second After" . If you would like, I'll send you a copy of my teaching hand out.

    The family and the horse are right out of Hollywood central casting, Poco. Get them an agent and retire.
