I've been a survivalist off and on since the 70s but recently got way more serious about it. Then I started looking for info on handling the heat - something common in Houston, but not talked about much in survival literature. Ran across one of Kev's videos on YouTube and ended up here.
I'm a computer programmer by day and a photographer nights and weekends. I'm interested in guns, food storage, food production and other survival topics. I'm also a long SLOW runner and just finished my first half marathon a couple of weeks ago.
I'm a husband and father. Better wife than I deserve and two homeschooled boys. The oldest is a junior at UT Austin studying Actuarial Sciences. The youngest is 17 and attending duel credit courses at Lone Star College.
My dream is to have my own place in the country far enough from Houston to lessen the Golden Horde, but close enough to go on the weekends. I'd really like a place I could go shoot my rifle that wasn't as restrictive as Carter Country.
My goals this year are to go through stages for food storage - 72 hrs, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 yr. I've handled 72 hrs and am working on 30 days.
In addition to food storage I'm also looking to build a good ammo supply and increase my weapons. Right now I carry an XD 45 and my wife as an XD 9mm subcompact. I've also got a AR-15. So I'm stocking up on 9mm, 45 ACP and .223.
Since 45 is so expensive and hard to find, I'm thinking I may downgrade to another 9mm just to standardize. I'm also looking at getting a 22 pistol and rifle.
I've written a few things on my personal blog on the topic of survival if any one is interested.
Guess that's mostly it. Turned into a thesis.
