text: In reply to message40827: Ok maybe this can help you out..I would like to take the time to remind everyone even though we are a National Group when you break it all down we work together and train together from the foundation up. What does that mean we start with a 10 minute 10 mile hike, bicycle and drive that become our County, our Zone, our State and our Nation in the way we keep together. We trust those who we work closest with and usually is those closest to us and fan out from there. We should always and I mean always work together in every skill we have and thrive to personally become as best we can within those skills. This makes it so those closest to you know what you are capable of when needed can expand to the next size group ei... County, Zone, State and National.Now I will be the first to admit that my time and travel are limited but I try to train in every skill possible and learn as much as I possibly can in each. Prime examples are I am an NRA Certified instructor for Shotgun and Rifle, I was Scoutmaster for Boy Scouts of America for 20 years, I am a avid outdoorsman in Hunting, Hiking, Trapping, Canoeing, Boating, Fishing, I am an EMT B which is my job on an Ambulance, I am a Firefighter, I am a Wilderness Survival Instructor, I am a Bushcraft Instructor, I am a Radio Operator with CB, FRS, GRMS and Amateur Radio licensed in GRMS and General Class for Amateur Radio, I am a prepper, I am a backyard mechanic, i am a house electrician, i am a Carpenter, i know how to operate some heavy equipment. I am always willing to teach what I know to others especially those that are very close to me but expandable within the limits of my time and training.Now as you can see I practice what I preach. I hope this helps you all to understand where I come from when I answer your many questions.
