Hey "ya'll",
Don't know if you remember me or not, it's been way too long since I came on. Things get busy, and surviving life has taken precedence over internet down time!
So, in case anyone's interested... I got a weekend extra money kinda job cleaning beach houses and condos. It has occurred to me during these cleanings that if one were to be unfortunate enough to be on a tourist trap island like the Emerald Isle (NC) when Z-DAY hits..... you're gonna have a hard time making it. Especially if the bridges are blown and you're stuck trying to live off of fully stocked bars and convenience store foods! For this reason alone, I have concluded that I really need to get together a car emergency kit!
Next, having been a stay at home mum for nearly four years now, I had forgotten how annoying most people can be. A girl in particular feels the need to say "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" after nearly every. single.sentence. You know what I mean? However, this is not just a random rant. I have learned a valuable skill that will be applicable in ANY survival situation. **Keep Your Cool**
And finally, remember that puppy I was asking about? What kind I should get and what not? Well, after learning the the German Shepherd's nickname is "German-Shedder"..... I decided to go with my long desired....... doberman.
His name is Niko.

FINALLY,
I know I can't contribute much to the gear/tech aspect of these forums, but hope ya welcome me back for my perspective on things!

Take care!
