Name: Ann

Hometown: Los Angeles (shh!), then San Francisco, now Seattle

Interests: things with two wheels, local organic food, kissing boo-boos, green

Stuff: I'm probably more of a peace-loving hippie than is usually found around these parts. I actually only first learned of ZS at the film fest last weekend, probably because I've been running in the wrong circles all this time. But as a former EMT (oops... never got around to doing national registry and then moved 2 states away) and lover of zombie movies (Dead Alive = Best Movie Ever), I figured I should check the place out.

I'm not much of a poster of identifiable pictures in public places, but here are my feet with a cute chipmunk at Mt. Rainier in July:

I work for one of the largest sign companies in the country. We make neon and L.E.D. signs for most of the casino's in Vegas. I write sign service for our customers here in Western Washington. Best job evar!!1! We live in Tacoma, have 2 hermit crabs, a hamster, and the aformentioned childrens...whom I am testing with the low maintenance animals until such a time as they prove ready to handle a dog. I am 37, and have been a prepper for about 2 years. I love the zed fiction (DBDA, c'mon Raptorman, forget that flying fighters crap and get on the ball for DBDA2 already!), am really dreading the election this year, and spend my free time...what little there is of it, playing darts, poker, and golf when I can squeze it in. A family of raccoons have moved into the field behind my house, so I enjoy pointing a laser sight at them, you know, in case they are zombie raccoons.

Our goal is to be as self sufficient as possible so we are always in learning more about self sufficient living and disaster preparedness.

[Skokie]

Hi, I'm the new guy. You can call me new guy. At least until I'm no longer the new guy at which point you can call me Mike.

This is me...







My name's Mike & I'm originally from Salem, but I now live in Oregon City.

I'm into art, graphic design, home brewing, fishing, camping, survival & guns. I work in the exciting & glamorous industry of producing cheesy & offensive t-shirts. I'm presently single and I have no kids that I'm aware of.

I'm just gonna come right out now and say that I don't give a fuck about zombies and that I don't like horror movies in general. I am, however, really interested in disaster scenarios and learning everything I can about how to survive & thrive in any disaster environment, even if that means a zombie uprising.

I really dig this board so far cause it seems to be chock full of people who know a lot about survival techniques and firearms, and it doesn't seem to be dominated by self-righteous douches like so many of the other survival & firearms boards I've checked out so far...

[Lorified]

Name: Lorified
Hometown: Sasquatch Country! - Western Washington
Interests: Archery, All things nature, and Organic living.
Bio: I am the better half of DropZedFred.

[zombipirate]

Hi Zombie Pirate here, I just joined-up so now I am the new guy and currently live in a Zombie Free Zone near PDX.
I've always been into backpacking, whitewater, hunting, fishing and preppin for the zombie apocalypse.
In previous incarnations I was an instructor in Inf. weapons and tank turret repair,
Lifeguard, Firefighter/1st responder, SCUBA diver, Red Cross and wilderness survival instructor, knifemaker. Much of my time has been spent living in wilderness enviorments.
I have experience in residential and agricultural construction and have lived in very remote areas on five continents.
I'm currently into equine activities like packing into wilderness areas, training horses, studying saddle construction and equine ethology.
I'm happy to be a member here as the other sites and groups outlook seemed a little too dismal and introverted for my taste. Survival is more than beans, it is beans and rice with some salsa!
I'm looking foward to meeting the PDX crowd.
I'll include a pic when I can get this @#$^%&!!! puter to work!

[mr wolfe]

Crazy week or three lately, finally have all fires put out and a few spare minutes to type.

Home base: Salem Oregon, via John Day (born there),Washington, Idaho, California, New Mexico(thanks to my dad who was a contract pilot), Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, points East, West and South of the borders (thanks to Uncle Sam).

Me: Somewhat wacked, former Rock God (in indonesia and a neighborhood in chicago), former 91b/11c/54b, former structural/wildland firefighter and ex-biker(cause I can't afford a new scoot right now).

Currently: critical care RN, father of one beautiful little girl and stepfather of three really great(this week) boys, shooter of things that go BOOM, bang bang bang, pffft, pop and twang, husband of a really wonderful woman (who puts up with my cranky ass), full time crummudgeon and parenthetical statement addict (its a disease). I'm also a Gear Geek and incorrigible tinkerer, WECSOG graduate/survivor, and redneck-in-hiding

Once upon a time, I was young and foolish enough to believe that all I needed was my canteen, a good knife, my trusty carbine and my training to survive. Then I gained a load of scar tissue from some of Uncle Sam's brighter ideas, and gathered a family to watch out for. Thankfully I gained some wisdom along with the scar tissue, and realized that training don't do much without resources (gaah... logistics... I hate logistics). Through my lurking, I've found some great resources here and some very interesting people. So here I am, along with Kimbo and the pack trailing behind, glad to meet you all.

[coup_padre]

Good day,

I first heard about ZS on another forum while reading about disaster survival supplies. I’ve been involved with the medical response and search and rescue teams at work and I’m currently on the waiting list for CERT training.

I was given a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide last Christmas and it has been passed around to all of the family members and quoted frequently. So, it seems this forum and I were destined for each other.

I enjoy Xbox, hiking, old movies, reading, dancing, and surfing the net.

Hometown: Detroit – where the weak are killed and eaten.

[klebeter]

Name: Karen in Lakewood or klebeter
Hometown: San Antonio, Texas
Current home: Lakewood, WA
Bio: Spent childhood in Mason, TX on 1,000 acres. Learned to ride horses at 4, started hunting at 5 (with my Dad and Grandpa). At 13 I had to round up the cattle in the spring and put dinner on the table whenever Granny asked me to. Joined the Army to see the world (during Vietnam war), and they sent me back to Ft. Hood, TX. Got an M-16 Sharpshooter medal. I was a computer operator (back when they were big) and later a data librarian. I was only in 3 yrs since I messed up my shoulder trying to prove I could do everything the guys were doing. Lived in Dallas for a while and worked for oil companies as a drafter (made maps, brochures, etc.). After the collapse of the Texas oil industry in early '80s, moved to Arizona. Went back to college (Linguistics/Oriental Studies) and got married for the 3rd/last time to Ed in 1989. He was already in a manual wheelchair. For last 10 yrs he has been using an electric wheelchair. He has Friedreich's Ataxia, so he will be getting worse. We have a 17 yr old son and I have an older son that is 37. Since I got my VA disability pension in 2005, have been a professional volunteer. Joined the American Legion, CERT, Citizen Corps, Historical Society, Lakewold Gardens, Lakewood United, etc. etc.

Survival stuff: Have done a lot of camping from TX to Montana and westward. In Dallas, was involved with a group of survivalists. We would gather in Oklahoma to camp out, practice target shooting (and trying out different guns), discuss how to best survive an attack by Russia (nuclear of course). We also camped in Big Bend National Park in Texas for a week at a time. Got involved with emergency preparedness at City and County levels. I have taken some Fema classes (100, 200, 700, etc.) and Red Cross training (Sheltering 101 - How to set up and take down a temporary shelter for emergencies). I had first aid training in the Army, and in Arizona trained to be a CNA (and worked in a nursing home, then private duty nursing). Got my HAM License but need some practice (and new batteries for my hand-helds).

Age: 21
Hometown: Reedsport Oregon
Current Residence: NAS Whidbey Island Washington

Bio: Grew up right on the ocean, father inherited a few acres in eastern Washington near a little town called Wilbur so I've got a small bit of experience with cattle and farming. Joined the Navy when I was 18, currently stationed on a little island north of Seattle.
Job: Lineshack supervisor. Rated as AM with NECs for Legacy and Super F/A-18s and EP/P3s.

Situation: I have, to my name, a solid steel carpentry hammer, a thick jacket, steel toed boots, and the internet. As you can see I'm not in the best PAW situation. I live in the barracks, so my options are currently very limited.

The Plan: Correct the above by this time next year (or sooner), to include a good BOB, a good assortment of defensive weapons, and some more training.

Available for events: Let me know ahead of time, as I work weekend nights (and don't see that changing anytime in the near future).
