LOL!

If anyone meets me, I'll be the one with the orange MK1 and large canister of bear spray.

And we'll meet in Virginia: The Gun State.

Or at The White House, in full view of the USSS.

Pays to be prudent but I remain optimistic about most peops.

;-)

I think Blast has had some folks meet up around there?

I've F2F'd some people when I was in college. Turns out cameras SUBTRACT 15 pounds!

Otherwise, I haven't heard of ETS-specific get togethers... though there was something in NY I think a year or two ago - but that might have been a different website.

Several years ago I had a first meeting with a woman at a local bar. After we'd been talking for a few minutes, she waved to another woman who was sitting behind us. It was her sister and her sister's husband. Sharp girl.

If in the greater Sacramento, California area, check out The Sacramento Tracking and Wilderness Training Group on Yahoo. Come to a public group event and meet several ETS members. Bring whatever backup you want.

Wow, it was almost a year ago when I, Wildman, ClarkTX, Librarian, and kmat got together for beer and fried pickles. Need to do that again real soon...

Izzy, name the date and I'll name the place. Danger awaits!

i recall a post a few years ago where some fellows here met up and spent a weekend camping with just their BOB's.a bunch of photos were posted of hasty shelters and smoky fires and it seemed to have worked out just great but i never saw any follow up.
by the way if your wondering why i'm up at 12:30 at nite posting away like crazy it's because the pain meds for my bum knee have not kicked it yet and i can't fall asleep--now thats a survival issue!!

And a good time was had by all!!!! Speaking of that, I should be back at that school in another year so we can try to meet up again for more beer, burgers, and the best darn fried pickles that I have ever had!!!

I can see how Beer-Batter Fried Pickles could make one drink more beer (that is the point isn't it?). I need to try this. . .

Other than meeting DR at the shot show. Have met a local ETS member, found a buyer for a car that he was selling.

On other forums i have bought items from other forum members and have not had any trouble. But i also was dealing with longtime forum members that had dealt with others in a positive manner.
