I've also sent in an email.

Hey Myself and family would love to be part of a BC prepper group so any info would be much appreciated. I am a dog trainer (Guide dog mobility instructor for 30 yrs and was a Military Police (RAF) Dog handler back in the 80s. I have a host of survival gear including 5 Bows and 3 crossbows which my wife and I are very proficient in there use. I was a member of the Grand National Archery Society back in the UK for many years. I like to think that we are prepared to a point should anything happen (unlike our friends who think we are a bit daft) but meeting other like minded folks in the lower mainland who also want to be part of an organized group and have a solid contingency plan makes total sense to me. So please count us in wherever this is going.
Many Thanks
Nick Toni (DogSoldier)

I'll send you an email as well, but as I'm in BFN right now, it may simply be a networking exercise on my part.

I have limited experience in several of your "niche skills". I'll detail further in the email.
