    Greetings, I'm from northern Vermont and found this site through a posting on my local Craigslist page.

    I am looking to expand my knowledge, share my own with others, and if luck will allow, to network with others who may be in my area.

    Between myself and my fiance, we bring many skills to the table that
    could be very useful in SitX. Myself, I was raised in the woods and
    summered on the ocean, grew up backpacking and camping in every
    conceivable weather condition and loved it. Was a Boy Scout until I
    turned 17, then joined the Army/Guard and am still involved over 14
    years later. I don't just "talk the talk," I also "walk the walk,"
    having extensive training and having survived against tremendous odds
    (both natural and man-made situations) many times during my military
    service. I work in law enforcement and have for about eight years,
    which has the additional advantage of allowing me to know what
    civilian authorities are doing as well as the military. In my spare time my main hobby is amateur radio; I also enjoy tinkering with vehicles and reading military history.

    My fiance has no military service but a wide variety of useful skills. She has
    worked in agriculture for about ten years and manages a facility, and
    knows all there is to know about farming and planting crops. She can
    also cook with limited resources when needed, sew, do light
    metalwork, repair vehicles and just about anything with an engine,
    and best of all she is eager to learn more survival skills as time
    goes on.

    Together we enjoy "roughing it" and backpacking off the
    beaten path, climbing, camping, and generally enjoy the outdoor
    experience anywhere, any time.

          Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
          beat you to death with it because it is empty.

          The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

                It is good to see more New Englanders coming on board. It shows again that Craigs list works.

                  Thanks for the warm welcome folks! I'm actually just in my 30s, certainly not as old as my screen name implies! I was in a band by that name many years ago, and liked the meaning behind it, so I held onto it all of this time.

                  The way I found the Craigslist entry was searching the word "military" I believe, under "For Sale/Wanted." To whomever posted that-- THANK YOU!

                  While I am active on a couple of sites and Yahoo groups (most notably PSU2), I have not run into anyone else from my neck of the woods before.

                    Howdy, Methuselah and Mrs. Methuselah! Great credentials! Do you also know how to make maple syrup like other Vermonters?

                          oh my... you're from DA DA DUMMMM...(that's dramatic music) "The Evil Empire!?" Well, I'm glad you made it out alive! ha ha ha... sorry... I had to do it.... and if there is anyone here from MA... well don't feel bad it's a nice place and there is no need for you to migrate north of the border... really ... it's not that great up here.... you'll be fine down there I swear.... no need to move... there's not much room up here anyway... and for the most part we don't have sidewalks or streetlights... we can still hunt with rifles so it's kind of dangerous...

                          removing tongue from cheek

                          nice to see other northern New Englanders Old Man What part of the Empire did you escape from?
