Howdy
« on: October 19, 2013, 07:40:00 PM »
How's everyone doing? I work in the oil field near Laredo TX(AKA Mexico), but i live 500 miles northeast of here. My situation for everything prepper is kind of unique in that aspect. I have been into this sort of thing for a while, but I am just now about to start implementing it. I have some more lurking and back reading to do, but I am hopefully going to make a thread to help people make good decisions and plans for getting home from a distance. That's all I got for now.

Drink a beer for me.

Welcome Angry Texan!

We are a small forum with some folks who are years ahead and folks trying to catch up. The archives is full of a bunch of good stuff so if you have a question start there first.

WARNING WILL ROBINSON WARNING! Don't ask the question: Which long rifle platform is better: AR or AK? You may get tared and feathered.  :lmfao:

Welcome AT.  I've spent a little time in Texas.  Well, maybe a lot.  Actually, one of my relatives is hanging on the wall in the the State Capitol.  Started an indian war when the indians returned her as a peace offering and the settlers killed several chiefs because of the condition she was in.  Unfortunately, it caused the deaths of all other white captives as well.

I've done a little oil field work as well with Halliburton before going to college.  Back during the Midland/ Odessa boom days.   Nothing quite like making your money getting muddy is there?

Glad you're here!  Look forward to your posts.

Thanks guys. Yeah I've been hearing good things about west TX again. but that would be twice as far from home. If natural gas would hurry up and get above $4 then east TX will boom again.

Reading his blog he has only had about 2 entries in since he has been on here last. Seems hes been busy doing contracting work for the military to get more income to buy preps. If he is so busy he can only get 2 entries in on his blog I could see how his hiatus from the forum is possible.

Close but no cigar. I've spent the last couple of years in and out of the states (mostly overseas) as a supervisory trainer and manager for a company on non-gov training and security contracts. Pay has been great and now I've got a couple of hundred more acres to play with and a new house, barns, and outbuildings to get started on after I finish out this stint. Honestly the blog has been the last thing on my mind and I haven't had time or much internet access outside of a VPN to work on it (except for a couple of short entries).  Once I finalize the "retirement status" and get settled I'll probably pick it back up and possibly put a book or two out.
