    Your Approximate Age: 51

    Your Gender: F

    Your Geographic Location (small town in West Virginia, family ranch in Texas, or the “the Lower East Side”): Phoenix

    Your Occupation (present and relevant past, such as military, technical, etc.): USMC (early '80s), Paralegal, Realtor

    Your Prior Relevant Training (all types, such as first aid, military, firearms, survival, etc.): Minimal military and Red Cross first aid, minimal survival but here to learn, some firearms

    The Nature of Your Prior Experience (Terrain, Season, Number of times/years, and longest duration in Wilderness): Camping-fishing & archery hunting trips - 20+ years

    Your Level of Experience (novice, intermediate, advanced, expert, instructor, etc.): Intermediate novice

    Your Preparedness Planning (type and level): Just beginning

    Your Interests and Hobbies (gardening, wilderness skills, urban survival preparation, knife-making, firearms, food storage, backpacking, etc.): Yes

    Your Membership and Learning Objectives: I liked to think that my family (archery hunters) could survive in the Arizona high desert. However, the harsh reality is that once electricity, petrol and medicines run out, we are s.o.l. Accordingly, I don't even know what I don't know yet and am looking forward to learning. My immediate objectives? Not stockpiling so much, because I feel we need to survive with what we can carry, find, scavenge or construct. Should survival skills be necessary, we would leave the city to toward northern Arizona and that's the plan lol. That's why I'm here.

    Thank you in advance for the assistance while I sit back and absorb what there is to learn is here.
