Hello all. I have recently joined this board after looking for the Hellcat pack, and then staying to look around.
I am a 35 year old O.R. nurse in a smallish hospital in the Tri-Cities, Washington. I have two great kids (8 and 1.5yrs), and a wonderful wife that doesn't always get my prepping "thing" but is either slowly coming around, or simply being worn down into acceptance. I'm into the Martial arts and shooting, and am just getting started with hiking / back packing.
I am looking forward to interacting with all of you. I hope I can be of some use around here, if only to copy my kids and ask "Why?"...
Welcome! Maybe she'll come around faster once she really starts thinking about it. You can always frame it in the context of a natural disaster (flood, blizzard, etc).
All it takes to bring a doubtful spouse around is that first "minor" SHTF moment. You know... when there is the possibility of work being "downsized", or an unexpected expense that would have made grocery shopping that week out of the question.
Go through this ONCE, and you'll have a convert, if not a zealot, on your hands. BTDT

Hello to you and to Backlash.........I also am from the dry side, Omak actually. This is a great forum....you can and will learn everything you will ever need! Might be a slight exaggeration but not much :flower:
Thanks for your hearty welcome, everyone. Happy to see some local folks, and always good to talk with folks from farther away as well. Look forward to talking with you all.
