Things that i am good at.
I am actually a pretty decent carpenter, plumber, electrician, laborer or manager. I am mechanically inclined I have been known to take intricate machinery apart and put it back together just to prove that it will indeed run with some extra parts not installed. I have been around guns my whole life. I have refined my shooting to a point where I can actually hit the broad side of the barn. I am good in a crisis, I manage stress well. I can catch fish. I can hunt. I can operate almost any piece of machinery. I am a pretty good driver and even a better motorcyclist. I stay current with my first aid training. The site of blood does not bother me. My only fears are snakes and clowns. I feel I could defend the camp against any enemy unless they bring snakes or clowns and then you guys are on your own and its every man for themself. Have done some gardening. Great sense of direction. Pretty good at finding my way through the woods.


Things that I need to work on.
My spelling sucks. Would like to learn archery. Not a very good dancer if that matters. I am over weight. Would also like to learn knife throwing.
