I do instruction to anyone interested in the NC area.

But if you want to contact me, I go by Cockroach and be found on the gulch.

Point for that OA.

jarmons, is the link your website?

Jarmans. Do you travel to teach these skills or do you have a base that people come too? I do think we need to learn skills to survive like it was 150 years ago.

No, I did not see the deleted comment.

I think it's been established that we are not worried about offending in the Gulch. That's liberal fodder that we don't typically engage in here. (Like a breath of fresh, ain't it??) :)

As I am new to the site, hearty apology if I offended.
I chose the use of 'Stuff' specifically not to offend.
or
Was your comment was in reference to the deleted comment?

O.A.,
Well one day just before the 1sg says "fall in" your body will tell you....'ENOUGH' as many before you have. I was lucky enough to get a DA civilian job doing the same duties I did on active duty. So, I soldier on without field, pt, ranges in the rain and no more trips to the sandbox.

This is why Gulchers are not mere Preppers: we understand that a civil society must be preserved, even on a micro level.

Hello jarmans,
I had planned on retiring... No doubt all you have listed is true, but it sure would be better to rid ourselves of those that would bring about TEOTWAWKI instead...
Regards,
