I was one of the old timers on this site and had to leave for a while. But, now I'm back and have learned even more in that time, some of which I can share and some I can't.

I have a background of farming, heavy equipment, mechanics, firearms, industrial, and blasting related operations all of which will be of use in a SHTF scenario.

Have no intentions or need to abandon my home. It's easy to fortify and defend from anything. I also have wood heat and a well. I live on a several hundred acre cattle farm in rural Missouri, have access to hundreds of thousands of acres of national forest, and about 2 hours away from St. Louis.

Aside from farm equipment and heavy machinery, I have a Jeep for normal travel and a Honda four wheeler for hard to reach places.

I have shotguns, rifles, and pistols, some of which are high end and some dirt common. I have hundreds of rounds for all and several thousand for others as well as accessories and tactical day/night gear. I'm not going to elaborate at this time for security reasons.

I'm politically conservative and religiously Heathen.
