Hello from the So. California region
I'll use the suggested categories for an intro:
Your Approximate Age 55, with a body that's seen a lot of wear and abuse.
Your Gender male
Your Geographic Location (small town in West Virginia, family ranch in Texas, or the the Lower East Side) Southern California, which is the type of place that require preparation to get through the fires, earthquakes, civil unrest and general craziness that we're known for
Your Occupation (present and relevant past, such as military, technical, etc.) Was a physical therapist, but too many folks that had never kept themselves in shape (other than 4'X4') took its toll
Your Prior Relevant Training (all types, such as first aid, military, firearms, survival, etc.) first aid, CPR, ....wow, not much.
The Nature of Your Prior Experience (Terrain, Season, Number of times/years, and longest duration in Wilderness) day hikes in lake country/semi-arid country
Your Level of Experience (novice, intermediate, advanced, expert, instructor, etc.) I'd rate a novice, I think
Your Preparedness Planning (type and level) Evacuated for 3 wildfires, 2 earthquakes, prepped for get home scenario
Your Interests and Hobbies (gardening, wilderness skills, urban survival preparation, knife-making, firearms, food storage, backpacking, etc. ): gardening, small homes
Your Membership and Learning Objectives: Gardening, urban prep, equipment pro/cons, first aid; become more proficient in being self-sufficient
That's kind of a thumbnail sketch of me.
