Men's Knitting - Join Us

Description

We operate out of the King County, WA area (e.g. Seattle, Everett, Woodinville, Issaquah, i90 Corridor).

Typically we have around 35-40 members (purge of inactive every few months). Age ranges are in the 20s-50s. We have a mix of current/former military and civilians (yuppie software developers, blue collar workers, etc).

We train/practice the typical things you would expect in a training group - preparedness (Beans, Bullets, and Band-Aids), firearms training, small unit tactics, rucking, patrol, MARCH/TCCC, land navigation, communications (dual band radios, meshtastic, atak), CQB (basic fundamental 101 level), etc.

Generally we try to get out at least once a week for a ruck or patrol/SUT training/practice. We regularly run twice a month indoor range days at WCA (Bellevue).

Our focus is more on individual fitness and tacticool training, testing out gear, rucking, and training for around 1-4 man buddy/fire team level stuff more than squad to platoon (based on numbers, less likely in SHTF scenarios to have a squad of men).

We use Signal groups for general chat/comms/event organization/bullshitting.

If you watch Risky Chrisky, Viking Preparedness, Magic Prepper, Grunt Proof, Bear Independent, Brass Facts, you're probably a good fit.

We are not out to be Special Forces Operators or hardcore larperators, but get into shape, learn some proficiencies, be ahead of the unprepared/untrained. Most men in the group are normal dudes, fathers, husbands, with jobs, sports, kids stuff to deal with and some shitty schedules.

Joining the Group

Add me on the Signal App (mobile/desktop) and send me a message. From there I will add you to our General and Events. We don't bother with a pre-vetting process, I just expect you to get out to an event ASAP. Inactive members get moved to an inactive group and can join back later.
