If asked that question, I'd say "no" and go back to work.

If pressed, I'd point out that I'm honest. If have to explain, I'd point out that you and you alone are ultimately responsible for your own safety and comfort. And that I don't like being cold and wet and hungry and miserable.

LOL

I'm a outdoors walker who likes knowing where his towel is.

Good answers, all of them.

They know me pretty well at work by now, I've been there 9 years or so. She didn't mean any disrespect by it, she just knows (as most of my co-workers do also) that I'm the go-to guy at my work for just about any situation. (Especially since solving problems is a good chunk of my job.)

If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would either be responsible (good answer, by the way) or just prepared.

MacGyver ?

Ok how about a responsible husband and father or better yet a responsible human being.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Robert A. Heinlein

I'm just a regular guy trying to keep myself prepared for the possibilities. I admit being a little paranoid though. When they say I should prepare a 72 hour kit, I put together an 8,760 hour kit.

Hopefully, a future Beach Bum .

SMART !

Lol!

That's like the moms's that say their kid is 31 months old. Lady, he's 2 and a half. Get with it.

I like "responsible" and "prepared".

I usually just tell them I was in the Boy Scouts a little too long, and since everyone knows the Scout motto is "Be Prepared", it's usually enough to leave it at that.
