The Introduction Thread

[schandr2]

Hello,
I am an engineering student working on a project that involves working with people who are preparing for emergencies, big or small, in order to design something (a project, website, workspace, etc.). I am really interested in learning more about the preparing and prepper process and mindsets, and would love to hear from anyone open to sharing their experiences! Feel free to reply to this thread or PM me.
Thank you!

Hello everyone, I enjoy anything that has to do with being outdoors and spend most of my time in the woods. I grew up on a farm and learned about preparing for the unknown at an early age. I look forward to learning more by sharing experiences with people on this forum.

Greetings,
I'm Moondog from NYC Airsoft and SF Airsoft. I produce an annual series of Fallout® and Wasteland® inspired airsoft events in NorCal and New York. These are MilSim combat events using airsoft guns (with proper protective equipment) simulating video game combat in the Fallout® and Wasteland® games. I hope to invite LARPers and Cosplayers in the Post-Apocalyptic community to join my events as NPC (Non-Playing Role-Players) to help create a more immersive experience and introduce them to the fun of airsoft. Here are two examples of past events:

Hello everyone! My name is Tricia and I'm new here. I am in love with this genre and am working on a pretty exciting movie project about the P.A.

Hi, everyone.

My name is Leo Odin de Alcantara, I'm an author and it's cool to join the group. 

Check out my new novel Ztockholm which is available now at www.austinmacauley.com/book/ztockholm. Check out our Instagram and Facebook page also at ztockholm_book.

We all remember the disaster in Fukushima, Japan, caused by the tsunami in the year 2011.

What we could not imagine were the consequences of that ecological catastrophe and what would the world become after the waters turned calm and the news stopped covering it.

What was supposed to be just another day in the kitchen, turned the world upside down after a series of unexpected events.

Follow the chef, Johnny Hendrix, and his group – when everything seemed to be lost and taken by a new threat – trying to survive and flee Stockholm in search for a safe harbor; a place where they can survive and try to restart humanity.

Run and check it out, before it's too late!

Cheers
