Born in the 60's, child of the horrible 70's, bleh about the 80's, picking up steam in the 90's and into the new century.
As a teenager, was very intrigued by the survivalist movement of the 70's and 80's. The politics and nutbaggery turned me off. In retrospect, I've always done some sort of prepping, but never applied terminology to it, just something that seemed the right thing to do. I've worked in the printing trade since the mid-90's. Heard this new term called, "prepper", and became interested again when L&L was around, but never got into the forums there. Found SP through thatGuy's YT page. I'm still learning the more technical aspects of prepping, thanks to the SP and now this site.
I started playing around with a patch design project at SP, and ended up helping out on some design stuff here. So for better, or for worse, here I am at Unchained Preppers. Like to thank JM and the others for allowing me to help out here.
I live in a small town north of Madison, Wisconsin, with my own small chunk of the American dream to build a better future. If someone told me this is where I'd be back in the 80's, would've told them their had gone off their nut. Weird how life works itself out sometimes.
