It's occurred to me that since our membership shifts and our backgrounds vary so much, it might be good to compare what we're capable of. More to the point, I was thinking we might be able to help each other pick up relevant skills, if not hone the ones we already have.

If people are looking to train or think they could help others, why don't we discuss that here? I know at least a few of us don't have backgrounds in combat, for example. On our first day here I met someone who wasn't familiar with firearms but might get good use out of the skill, for another.

In my case, I have experience training others and can help with hand-to-hand combat. I can work with people ranging from average human strength to well above it. I've got some skill with swords and knives, but I wouldn't compare that to someone who specializes in them, and that's something I'd like to work on. In terms of non-combative skills, if someone wants to work on something like cooking, I'm reasonably helpful there.

Let's see how we can help each other improve.

( he'll leave gun instruction to Riza, but at least one of those he can help with. )

what sort of survival skills are you looking to learn?

uh, anything really? i know the basics of "not getting brutally murdered" survival stuff but the more "go out into the woods with just a backpack and stay there for a month" kinda thing is what i was going for here

i mean, what if ALASTAIR throws us on a huge planet where we're all separated and have to live in the wilderness, i'm not exactly on board with starving there on my own or letting others starve

( while Graham technically knows plenty about both means of survival, luckily he's happier to teach the one Stiles is keen to learn. )

then I should be able to help you. for a long time, I lived on the land, not in town or village. surviving in the wilderness is something I have plenty of practice in, and considering the fact we've gotten stranded more than one occasion on missions, it's good to learn.

Graham, by the way.
