Concern about missing members

[Sourdough]

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!

 

[Curmudgeon]

Prayers for a speedy recovery. I can relate, it's an uphill battle for sure.

 

[LadyLocust]

Maybe when you do contact him by mail, you could print out the posts wishing him well/prayers. Hoping that would brighten his day.

I must've missed this.....what happened with Caribou?

He had a stroke. See frodo’s post above. Mods must have moved the thread to here, as the original post was in a thread titled caribou.

 

[LadyLocust]

Thank you @Frodo for letting us know and @Alaskajohn for explaining! Prayers for a speedy and full recovery

Yup. North East Texas. East of the DFW area. Our lease here is up November 15, so we are working to be on the road out of here before then if we can. I thought I found a place out in Queen City near the lake but it was taken off the market.

My sister lives in Huntsville area.

Has anyone heard how @SheepDog is doing? I remember a few months ago he said he was diagnosed with CHF. I hope he's doing OK.

Yes.

A cut n paste from part of what sent me a few days ago follows.

"
...
The Creator and I speak about those of you who are praying for me. If I give up and choose to start over you all will just assume it was His will, He just smiles and tells me it is my choice and I get the feeling that He wants me to win this battle. So I just have to "cowboy up" and choose to get up and fight.
Tell everyone Hi and plan on me coming back perfectly healthy.

I hope I'm speaking the truth of what she wrote. She was abducted and held captive for a while, maybe a few years. If I remember correctly, it happened in New Orleans. I kind of think she was trapped and went into a bar to ask for help, but they were actually in on it. I want to find her original writing of this, because I don't want to tell something that is not true. And her name, Grizzlyette, was given to her by her brother because the lifestyle she had led was similar to Grizzly Adams.

I wondered that as well, and have looked and looked and cannot find the original post about it.

I'm glad it was explained about caribou and I hope he has a speedy recovery. Strokes can be brutal.

Thanks Alaskajohn! I did not see the original post so I had no idea who "he" was that Frodo had posted about.

Prayers sent to SheepDog, Caribou, Tank, and all the others in need of Gods grace and healing.

Angie, The beginning of my thread disappeared when it was merged with this thread. In the first post I said who I was talking about the “he” was the 3rd post
The confusion is due to an incomplete merge

The thread was "news from Alaska", not Caribou! I was hoping the  whole thread would get posted in concern about missing members! Many of us miss Caribou!!

Me also. I started the thread, nd am curious as to why it was chopped in half
Then merged

I suggested it should get moved, but didn't know it would get chopped. Maybe the whole thing couldn't be moved. Sorry for the suggestion, was trying to make sure everyone knew where Caribou is!

when you merge threads the posts get shuffled into order as time posted between the two threads. so it shuffles posts a bit. at least its how i understand thread merges.maybe a mod can correct me if understanding is wrong.
