    howdy from Denver Colorado

    hi all, a virtual new friend on another forum said I should join y'all because this forum might have all the topics in one place that I like to discuss... and judging from the forum list, I'm looking forward to reading a whole bunch.

    I'm husband to one wife and dad to two kids. Last summer, I convinced my 10 year old to try to hike Grays Peak (14er about an hour west of Denver). We got about half way and over 12,000 feet in elevation before he wanted to turn back. He said next summer we'll get there. I've done about a dozen 14ers and the views always make me happy. I'm not carrying his backpack next summer.

    Thanks Black5! I appreciate the invite.

    Good to see you made it.
    Look in the general survival and preparedness forums. Avoid the flophouse until you are truly ready to go down the rabbit hole. The lunatics here are knowledgeable, outspoken, argumentative, and sometimes may cause your head to shake side to side.

    There will be heated discussions occasionally. It takes a lot to get banned over here. We are free thinkers except for this guy going by inor. He charges you if he has to think. He prefers payment in bagpipe videos. Especially Amazing Grace.

    The cost of access to the knowledge here is a thick skin. Where I met you there are really smart and experienced people in their area.
    Here there are smart people with broad rang s of experience in multiple areas who haven't yet convinced themselves of their superiority.

    But don't let the jerks know I said anything nice about them. I do have a reputation to uphold.
    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.

    thanks! I've been down several rabbit holes and hold my tongue at other forums or real-life social occasions.

    I grew up in south florida from Miami to west palm beach. When I first visited Colorado, I was like, "huh, that's what mountains are. well, moving here now." I do miss the ocean, but not enough to move back.

    I had a contract for a while at Rocky Flats (back when it was still in operation obviously). I like Colorado well enough but absolutely loathe Denver! (Don't take it personally, I hate every city and have been to most of them in North America.)
