Title: Hey from California
Post by: NativeSon on August 17, 2014, 06:45:22 PM: Hey everyone, I'm Greg and I'm from California. I've been looking for a good resource for survival/minimalist camping. I was referred here.

I spent 4 years in the Army infantry with a deployment to Afghanistan. :boltAction:

Great group of guys & gals here with a broad breath of knowledge. Also what is cool about UP unlike some other prepper sites is that the entire spectrum of political thought and persuasion is represented here. :dance:

Don't hesitate to jump in to ask a question, answer a question someone might have and to search the humungous archives.

Welcome :thumbsUp:

What tribe? If I may be so curious.

Post by: NativeSon on August 19, 2014, 02:02:39 AM: The Gabrelino band of Tongva. And possibly Chumash.

Post by: Burt Gummer on August 19, 2014, 03:31:35 AM: I had absolutely no idea that there was a significant native presence along the west coast pre-colonization, probably because they made contact so early on. ( I live in the midwest )
Very interesting, thank you.

Anthropologically speaking, we're one of the oldest tribes in the New World, coming shortly after the Inuits.

That is probably true, but you're likely one of the most discriminated against.
