Hey guys,
I've been part of this group all the way back to LnL to StraightPrep and now to Unchained. I've always enjoyed the conversation and flow of ideas which is why I'll always be around.
The name Skippy came from when I was working on a pumpkin patch in 4th grade. I kept tripping over the damn pumpkin vines and my boss yelled "Hey skippy quit foolin around!" So the name stuck the whole time I was there. the 00004 came from the year I created my online persona through AOL Instant Messanger in 2004. "04" was taken and so was "004" so I skipped (no pun intended) the third zero and went straight for 00004. Now it's become my online handle, so if you ever see my name anywhere on the interwebz, that's me.
I'm one of the younger members coming in at 21 years of age. I'm an avid rock climber and prefer to be outdoors as much as possible. I've loved guns ever since I was little, and my 18th birthday present to myself was the best present I've ever gotten (Smith & Wesson M&P 15 in 5.56 with a 1 in 7 twist). I'm looking to get my skydiving "A" license this summer because its what I want to do with my future career. I'm studying Film Production and would like to become an aerial videographer and film people in free-fall.
I guess I got into the prepping mindset my Junior year of high school. I've always been one to question things and never did do well with "because I said so" (still don't), and when I stumbled across one of LnL's videos, I was hooked. So I started researching and dove into the gigantic can of worms that we're all in today.
As far as my contributions go, you'll see me around the "news" topics a lot. I'm always trying to stay on top of things (aside from the occasional climbing trip. No laptops, and phones are off. Which I always look forward to) and I like to share info when it applies.
Otherwise, I'm glad to see we're keeping this group alive and I'll see ya'll around the forum.
