Welcome NCScout!
UP is a rather eclectic group of both men and women dedicated to prepping and helping others to do so too. Don't hesitate jumping in when someone has a question or you asking a question if the need arises.
This next statement applies to all folks on UP. NCScout, check out the archives when you have a free minute as there is some great stuff in there from all the way back to MrLocknLoad & Straight Prep Days to present.
To the group...
NCScout is a very righteous man who I would share a fox hole with any day of the week. I have taken several of his classes and am planing on attending his
Recon & Surveillance class at the end of February*. His wealth of knowledge spans the gauntlet that includes but not limited too, writing, prepping, survival skills, radio/RTO, recon, building a business, long range shooting, and many many more. He is a superb trainer who treats adults in his class like adults. I could go on and on but I am starting to blush.
Welcome NCScout
*By the way if there is anybody who would like to attend and you live close to I-81, shoot me a PM and maybe we could car pool.
