        I can teach you to reload here online. One of my skill sets (if there is such a thing) is I have incredible luck. I shoult have been dead 50 times over with some of the crap I have pulled.

          Pros:
          I can hunt, kill, clean and cook about anything.
          I can grow, harvest, and cook about anything.
          I can build my own shelter if needed.


          Cons:
          I am getting lazy as I get older
          I am getting heavier as I get older
          I am getting slower as I get older
          I am only 36 but feel 56
          Getting old kinda sucks
          I am very trusting (Can be a bad con in a SHTF situation)
          Have grown dependant on 4 wheelers and tractors
          Never tried trapping.


          I have been doing so much, for so long, with so little, I can do almost anything with absolutely nothing.

              I never have really thought about my pros and cons before so I want to give it a try starting with the cons.

              I can't run very far with these pins and screws in my leg.
              I don't know how to reload ammo. (Ya I know its sad)
              limited experience with curring food for extended storage.
              limited training in Kuk Sool Won MA
              Not very mechanicaly minded. Can replace a water pump but not rebuild a wiring harness.
              Getting soft hearted the older I get. (I don't know if this is a real con but could be)

              Pros

              Proficient with a rifle's use and care
              grew up trapping
              can dress a deer with moderate skill
              have a green thumb
              good direction sence in wooded enviroment.
              trained in concealment and ambush deployment.
              I have a plan and my family is intrested in it.
              will eat anything that will make a goat puke and then I will eat the goat :D

                I got to ask....what is Kuk Sool Won MA? Sounds like Korean soul food.

                  Kook Sul Wan is a martial art of Korea which embodies many different styles and techs, like Tae Kwon Do and Hwa Rang Do...instead of focusing on an individual style, it's more of a system...It translates: National Fighting System, or National Martial Art.

                  Kind of like what Bruce Lee did with Gung Fu when he created Jeet Kune Do. ;)
