Those of you in the the path of various hurricanes

Let us know you are still with us and if you need anything.

During Katrina, many of us on Knife Forums UPS'ed or Fed-Ex'ed stuff to a friend's store in Nothern Lousianna, and it was driven down to a friend in the Baton Rouge area, who delivered supplies to shelters south of him that certain non-governmantal refief organizations did not supply.


We even shipped a bunch of 5 gal gas and water can when were then filled in Norther LA, and driven south.

I've started gathering supplies to ship to ETS'ers who may need, but can't find supplies in damaged areas.

Thanks for the offer!!!

Reminds me of a man in Mississippi, he's providing hunting camps to house 60-80 people and 25-30 horses at no charge except to himself. He's even procured generators and fuel for the camps.

There are saints/angels among us!!!!!!!!

Thanks! Hmmm, the only thing I seem to be short on is booze. I like Makers Mark whiskey, high quality tequila, and cheap rum. When can I expect the package?

Looks like Grand Cayman will be spared from the brunt of Gustav and totally missed by Hanna...

If anyone is in the Carib and needs help, just holler (pm, email or post here).

Supplies can be shipped where you need to... Help can be in many forms, just ask and i'll see what we can do.

As for the states, if you need anything, holler. Have buddies all over and I can send whatever whenever.

Good luck,
Kris

p.s. as i type this, the weather channel just posted live shots of Grand Cayman (basically first time I saw this happen...). Not a bad view of two palms blowing in the wind.

I agree, if you can help someone why not? People have helped me over the years and i've tried to do the same in return. The offer goes out to anyone who needs it.

Send me an address.

"...high quality tequila, and cheap rum..."

I knew that there was something I liked about you! (in addition to that blowing stuff up thing)...

"...Send me an address.."

How 'bout me? I am being sprinkled on right now, and there is some wind blowing. Jose 1800 would go down great if the power goes out or something...

... "or something" covers a swath wider than a hurricane.

Just send it to me at my Presidential Campaign Headquarters

Doesn't it though...

Thanks SB, that's a very kind thing to do.

We're in pretty good shape, though I gotta finally fix my fence tomorrow (been putting off for way too long), before Ol'Gus comes in and finishes what Katrina started and sends my fence down the street.

We could use some sprinkles here... pushing 105* today, dry as can be.

Northwest Ohio needs rain too. Our local meteorologist said that it's been 3 weeks since we've had anything more than a slight sprinkle. Lawns look like crap and the crops aren't doing well at all. The remnants of Fay just missed us and there's no rain in the forecast for the next 10 days.

After Katrina, I went to a small Mississippi town to help the local police department deal with the thousands seeking refuge in their town. The population doubled or tripled practically overnight and the town was already crippled by severe wind damage. The influx of refugees included many less than desirable elements and the local officials simply couldn't deal with it, along with the burden of trying to meet the needs of their own families, without assistance. Another mutual aid trip might be coming in the near future.

Even more stuff we have in common, Blast!

Alas dear Christina, it's probably for the best if we never share a bottle of tequila.

-Blast, currently tipsy and pickling okra

Whimp. I will share a shot with her (or you for that matter) any time...

I hope everyone came through unscathed but are there any ETS forum members that need post-Gustav aid? How are y'all doin'?

I hope all of our ETS members, their families and friends made it through Gustov OK. Anybody needs emergency resupply, just ask.
