Hello all! I am excited to now be a part of this community. I have been lurking and trying to learn as much as I can about the requirements of joining, the different armor kits available and techniques that people have used to build and weather their armor/gear. I am hoping to order an armor kit soon from a source on the armor buying list. I've already begun to gather supplies to make my own backpack as this is the biggest requirement I've seen to get to PO status.
