Concern about missing members

[Weedygarden]

When was Caribou last on..??

He has not been very active lately. He did say he was traveling for a bit. I have seen that he likes some posts, but is not his typical self.

 

[Pearl]

Definitely missing Caribou. Frodo hasn't been on since last weekend!!

 

[Magus]

I talked to Frodo Monday, I hope he's OK.
I'm back it seems.

 

[Amish Heart]

Well there you are, Magus

 

[Magus]

yup. in and out until I get straightened up.

Great to see you!

I guess we lost Caribou for good?!

I hope not.

What makes you say that?

Do you know something we don't?

I looked back thru his history thru April and couldn't find anywhere he might have gotten into a conflict with anyone.
Maybe he is touring Australia, that takes more than 3 weeks.

He was staying with his mother for months. He did say he was driving and would be away for a few days, but that is now weeks ago. I hope he is well.

I just saw Grizzlyette's post about finding COVID humor in the dark corners. She has to have passed on.
A woman I went to h.s. was a very conservative and vocal person about being against the jab. She lost her husband and ran the ranch for many years by herself. She died last year, from COVID. It just seemed ironic to me, given how vocal she was about it. I know that being vaxxed wouldn't have made any difference in her survival.

NO, I was hoping someone knew something!!

I saw that post too! But didn't she have blindness issues? Hope she is ok, we all miss her!

It's been too long for him not to post!!

 

[Patchouli]

Caribou has occasionally gone awol. Stuff happens with family, etc. I emailed him, nothing yet.

 

[LadyLocust]

Does anyone know @VenomJockey away from the forum? I know he was facing some health issues and was getting up there in years, but . . .

 

[Peanut]

@LadyLocust They'd moved him into a hospice when he last posted... He had family there, grandson I believe. He's missed...

Thank you. Missed indeed.

I was deeply smitten with her, I asked her if she would consider marrying me, just a couple days before she left.

She had quite a history and was an inspiration.

 

[Magpie]

I don't know any of these people, but when I see Weedy's comment about 'quite a history' and having just finished a memoir about a really interesting woman, I wonder does anyone record their stories?

Some of us have been part of a "PACK" looking for an internet-home, for about 14'ish years. She was respected because she was not a classic internet forum prepper. She had been living it for decades. Much of the decades was in skanky & dangerous environments. I may not be remembering perfectly, but I think she was badly bite twice by rattle snakes, and twice had rabies that nearly killed her. In a foggy part of my memory, I seem to think she had some yucky encounters with gators.

While this example thread is largely me jabbering, you can get a feeling of how obsessed she was with learning any tiny piece of prepping/survival, this is especially telling given her "Boots in the Field" decades of living it.

I was wondering about him... glad he's on the mend.

 

[havasu]

Thank you for the update!

 

[Frodo]

He is not home but when to “town” to take care of some routine business then had the stroke while there
Where he is, has no phone, Wi-Fi, cable obit he does have books and is reading lot
This is what I remember of the conversation. So if I bend a fact please forgive me
From what I gather, he had to travel a bit to get to where he could get in contact with me. In order to give me an address to send his shoulder holster
I will not be in contact with him except by mail

 

[Shawn Burkett]

Praying for him.

 

[Magpie]

I'd love to write to him, if you could request permission to pass on his address in the home, @Frodo many thanks

 

[Pearl]

I'm just glad we know, thanks so much Frodo!
