I have been searching the net trying to find a place to discuss fieldcraft, survival skills and such for a long time. I have been a guest here for many months getting acquainted with the site and the culture. I can tell you that based on my experience, this site is one of the best sites devoted to survival skills, training and such topics. I look forward to being an active member in the future.
Welcome Cmrc..... and I agree, it's a great place Jump right into the discussion and make yourself at home.
Cmrc, you are welcome here, to learn, to teach, to enjoy. Be aware however, we are managing to survive a lot of jokes, hijackings, and other sorts of shenanigans as well as preparing for more serious stuff. Join in the fun as well as the more purposeful parts.
Hi cmrc. I'll look forward to discussing fieldcraft and survival skills. All the extras ghrit mentioned are fun but we all are purposeful in sharing information.
Another New Guy Onboard Seasons greetings. I am a long time gun and knife afficianado. I have used these tools in making my living over the past thirty years and have developed a fair understanding of their use and limits. I am always interested in learning from others. Now with out country facing peril at the hand of Islamofascists I think it is more important than ever that we be proficient at the use of small arms and stay informed about world events. What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. Adlai Stevenson
Factfind, welcome also! You'll find some other knifemaking types here on the Monkey. I've never been overly skilled at making anything... cept maybe trouble
