PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THE POSTS OF OTHERS! Let's not turn this into a chat thread.













Name: Sean - Just another Chapter Officer

Hometown: Milton, WA

Interests: Emergency Preparedness, Camping, Hunting, Shooting, Reading/Writing Military Sci-Fi

Bio: I guess my experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan (Army 97E, Fort Hood, 4th ID) are what got me interested in emergency preparedness. I saw what happens when society gets chaotic, how utterly bad things can get unexpectedly, and I realized how much I wanted to avoid being in that situation. It's also a great excuse to collect big boy toys.

I'm married to a girl I met in the army, and we have one kid. (Has your wife or girlfriend qualified on the ma deuce? Mine has. ) It is unlikely that you will see Jennifer at an event, as she has only come out twice in two years, but that is ok with me.

I've almost finished a M.Ed. in Student Affairs Administration degree at WWU, and I work with student leaders at a college in the Tacoma area. My wife and I just bought our first home and all of this new storage space has me excited about expanding my preps, although we are finding lots of other places to sink our money at the moment.

Along with DrGonzo, Black November, Dietrich, Mahatma Zombie, Meantree, and DropZedFred, I am one of the founding members of this chapter. My goals for the chapter are to make sure that the people who are willing to participate and contribute get what they want out of it. If you have any questions about anything chapter related, or completely unrelated to the chapter for that matter, feel free to shoot me a pm.

[BethDeath]

Name- Beth

Hometown- somewhere in PA

Interests- Seans mom

Bio- Married with 2 kids. Kids are my full time job. I just moved into a murder house. I have been known to wear purple dresses and sassy hair.

[DrGonzo]

Name: Also Sean. Mac if you know me.

Hometown: Seattle, WA

Interests: Emergency Preparedness, Skiing, Shooting, Movies, Reading, Camping.

Bio: I'm a former Eagle Scout and Marine (Iraq vet). I run a satellite phone distribution and billing company from home, which enables me to spend way too much time online. I'm also going back to the University of Washington in the fall after an eight year hiatus. I may continue on to a degree in emergency management after I complete my English degree. I've been been interested in emergency preparedness and disaster survival since my exit from the Corps, and has only grown since my involvement with Zombie Squad. I'm getting married in November to a wonderful gal who tolerates my urges to collect firearms and stockpile food.

[ninja-elbow]

Name: Gabriel, Gabe
Hometown: Portland, OR
Interests: Walking around or riding my bike in the city, DnD (and gaming), working with tools, working with "at risk" youth, poking hole in paper that is kind of far away, BSing and smoking cigarettes.

Bio: Navy and Operation Desert Storm Vet (Persian Gulf Senior) and been in many disasters. Was a Boatswain's Mate. I now volunteer for Portland Office of Emergency Management - Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET), Big Brothers Big Sisters. My stomping grounds is in the Mount Hood National Forest right outside Estacada.

[Czechnology]

Oh, hi. I didn't see you there. I'm Lars, and you may remember me from such cities as Washington, DC, and Sasebo, Japan. I'm sort of hometown-less having grown up in the Navy, but I was born on Rantoul AFB outside of Chicago, if that counts, and currently live in Beaverton, OR. I am working on finding a job, but my wife now works as a teacher @ Nike, so as long as we can eat tennis shoes, I may not have to work.

I'm interested in History, wildlife, firearms, and fine food/alcohol of all types and places of origin. I've only ever turned down 1 dish, and I'm sorry but Balut is not food, but rather an Avian-centric torture mechanism. Waterboard me anytime, but fuck that shit.


That's me again, lying down with lady BREN and the Chetniks. Yugoslavia was so nice we just had to kick out the Nazis.

Hi all, Pathfinder here. Paul is my name and I am kind of new, but have been reading the board for about 2 years. I am ex-Army and have been involved with Martial Arts for a few years. I like things like shooting, knife making, knife fighting, Hand 2 Hand combat, camping, hiking, primitive survival stuff, ect. I am a Manufacturing Engineer with a Boeing supplier. I have a Wife and a 6 year old daughter, plus a large Bullmastiff puppy that thinks she is human. Slight correction, my soon to be ex wife who decided that a marriage vow means nothing.

I just payed my dues so I can be an official member.

Oh yea, the (soon to be Ex-)Wife works at Federal Way Discount Guns so if you stop in you may want to avoid her! She is dishonest and a very bad person.

[ZMace]

Hey guys, name's Mac, currently in Troy Idaho. Just joined the site a month or so ago. It seems like I am the only one here who has not ben in the armed forces. I am a grad student at the University of Idaho working on cellulosic ethanol. I love making stuff, weapons, tools, armor cars just about anything. I have studied a few martial arts, and I love to swordfight when I can find somebody crazy enough to do it with me. I love renaissance faires and go when I have time/money to do so. Like many here I like shooting, but only have a couple of guns (being a poor college student). I have started making a bug out bag among other survival minded things, and this is a great place to learn. I would post a pic, but I am new to the whole forum thing and do not know how yet.

edit, I got it!

[ZedMikey]

I'm on the wrong computer for pics... but I'll get some up soon...

My name's Mikey... born in TX, raised in AL, graduated high school in NM, consider CO to be home, and currently reside in Hilltop in Tacoma. I'm a mechanical engineering student at UW, and will be wrapping up my BS in March '09... then it's on to grad school.

As most here, I enjoy camping, hiking, guns, fourwheeling, and zombie movies. I also enjoy board games, video games, BBQs, beer, tequila, wine, food, etc.

[mauntgomery]

I'm Ryan, and I live in Milwaukie Oregon.

Name: Kitty

Hometown: Redmond, WA

Interests: Sorta ZS related: Sustainable/subsistence living, emergency preparedness, foraged foods, archery (someday soon!). Non-ZS related: LOTRO, cross stitching, meditation, cooking

Bio: Married for 8 years, stay at home mom to a 6 year old daughter and 5 year old MZ twin sons. Prior to motherhood I did mostly social service type of occupations: corrections officer, running a group home for developmentally disabled adults, stints in public health and CPS, provided short-term therapeautic foster care for kids 0-5. I also have dabbled in nannying and teaching preschool, mostly as sanity breaks from the more heavy hitting jobs. I also volunteered with homeless outreach, mostly concentrating with vets and teen sex workers. Now basically I’m a housewife and lovin’ it…though I am dipping my toe back in with homeless outreach again, very part time for now, probably will get more involved once all my kids are in school all day next year.

Age: 23 Tender years.

Interests: Into just about anything outdoors, fishing, camping, hunting. Almost any sport, Baseball, football, golf, discgolf. Also like some video games (even though I seem to lose interest in them a lot faster now, think its a time issue).

About me: My father was an electrician in the Navy and I was born in Hawaii. Family moved to Port Gamble, WA when I was about 3 for a short period, then we settled in Chimacum WA. Family still lives in Port Angeles. So, if any of you all are up near the hood canal area, I go up there every once in a while to see family. I am looking forward to getting more involved With ZS, as I have only been on here for a little while.
I coach Rookie Baseball, and have a great time doing it. Next year the kids will be moving up into the minor league where they get to pitch, and I get to be a pitching coach.
Anyways, Congratulations everyone on making a chapter!

Hey everybody, sorry I took so long, I just can't seem to remember to get on the forums much.

Name: Dave
Location: Redmond, Wa
Age: 38

I've been more and more concerned about the changes in my world in the last 10 years or so, and working on getting myself more prepared to deal with larger 'shit-hits-the-fan' events, which of course includes unexpected zombie uprisings. I'm slowly coming to realize that I can't plan for everything on my own, so now I am trying to sort out the various networks and resources the mass hordes would come to rely on, and develop the ones I think I could help with and rely on. I look at it as sort of an investment.

About me: I'm an industrial engineer working as a manufacturing engineer in Redmond (not microsoft). I moved here about 4 years ago from Oregon, but grew up in Texas.

Interests and hobbies: Computers, camping/hiking/backpacking, sustainable living, electric vehicles (racing and commuting), motorcycles (on and off road), and more recently: firearms, making beer, and stashing food.



Backpacking over in Idaho. Yes we hiked down to that lake and back.

[landline000]

Name: Grey

Originally From: Downeast Maine
Previously: Hokkaido, Japan
Currently: Seattle, WA

Interests: cooking, history, theater tech (lighting and sound), teaching, preparedness, bass (guitar, upright, synth, fishing, all!), marksmanship, iaido (100% phone cord free), coffee, bouldering.

Bio: I recently (September 08) moved to Seattle, my first taste of living IN a city. I'm currently trying to survive as I apply for either a Masters of Education in Curriculum Design at UW or a Masters in Education Technology (Distance Learning) at UBC. I've mainly worked in theater or teaching.

I'm a bit stymied for improving my marksmanship and getting into IDPA-style training since I'm (A) new to the area, (B) don't have independent transportation yet and (C) most of my 'collection' is still on the opposite side of the country.

Thanks for setting up a PNW chapter just in time for me to get here!
