Junior member from Western Washington
Not much to tell really. The kids are mostly grown and gone. We've moved back to the "farm" that my parents own and I have sparked a sudden interest in getting more prepared / self reliant. I googled a question that lead me to this forum, and it looked packed full of information on all subjects.
Your Approximate Age 44
Your Gender Female
Your Geographic Location (small town in West Virginia, family ranch in Texas, or the “the Lower East Side”) North of Seattle
Your Occupation (present and relevant past, such as military, technical, etc.) Just started Pharmacy Tech school
Your Prior Relevant Training (all types, such as first aid, military, firearms, survival, etc.) Search and Rescue in my younger days / First responder
The Nature of Your Prior Experience (Terrain, Season, Number of times/years, and longest duration in Wilderness) Not a huge list...hiked about a third of the PCT 20ish years ago
Your Level of Experience (novice, intermediate, advanced, expert, instructor, etc.) Novice and more novice...got a lot to learn
Your Preparedness Planning (type and level) I could get through a few days right now, which is why I'm hanging around...to learn
Your Interests and Hobbies (gardening, wilderness skills, urban survival preparation, knife-making, firearms, food storage, backpacking, etc. ) The orchard is a hobby (apples, pears, cherries). I can quite a bit. We process / butcher our own animals.
Your Membership and Learning Objectives I'm finally in a place where I can realistically plan and prepare for the eventuality of having to take care of myself and my family. I joined here to learn to do that.
Thanks for having me!
