Group Survival 101.

[ryaninmichigan]

it's posts like that is the reason why you are an idiot you think that you are the most dangerous man in the woods well i call bullsh** i have read enough of your posts to realize that you are a wanna be and unrealistic and generally full of it, you can post what ever you like but you have already revealed yourself you limited yourself by building a permanent structure and a fence around it my god welcome to four funerals what an idiot.

I never said I was the most dangerous man in the woods. I said "the most dangerous THING in the woods is me and my rifle." This is not such and uncommon statement. Please hit the Ignore button now..

This was only a fantasy scenario and it's already turning ugly! War-Eagle's on the warpath, RiM's circling the wagons, VW's psyco-analyzing the Wolf-pack, yet, over the course of all these threads has made several errors that I couldn't help but notice. VW, take off the rosey shades, we're already at each other's throats and it wasn't even real! I rest my case. (And BTW Dr VW., Flu is spelled "Flu", not "flew". Gotcha!):rolleyes:

At each others throats? The average family fights harder then this. There’s going to be a few disagreements and debates. No one said there wouldn’t be. But will you let those disagreements tear you apart that’s what counts. How will you react to those disagreements because there going to happen. Look at the ones in the forum, the forum still stands doesn’t it?

The Forum still stands, but then we're not living with each other either. We can shut our pc's off and go watch tv if we don't like what's being said. The saying "Familiarity breeds contempt" is as true as it's counterpart: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder. RiM was the guy who came up with the scenario, he's a member of the Wolf-Pack. The answer that his family wasn.t isn't really a good one as neither is WE's wife or any other family member related to one of us. They would have been welcomed in and learned from us. Yet we have dis-trust shown to one of our own. :cool:

[owl_girl]

I don’t think we’d tear each other apart. There would be some big fights but it would heal. Other people have survived as groups why couldn’t we? You act as if you think its unlikely for people to come together and be able to survive a group structure all because of the arguments that would arise. Do you think that in order for a group to work it would have to be absent of arguments and disagreements? That’s not realistic, there is no such group

RiM wasn’t treated as a wolf pack member in the scenario because in the scenario he was a stranger. However he was gaining trust and we were starting to have more regular and friendly contact with him. But most of the group did not want to move to the lake.

exactly. see the #1 post. I am done with this

[Sarge47]

Well "Wolf-Pack", this is the end of the trail for me. Owl-Girl, what I'm referring to is human nature, the same nature that I feel is now being turned on me. VW, I don't know if you're who you say you are, or what you claim to be, but things aren't adding up. I've come to believe that you're a "control freak" who keeps changing things in the thread when they're not going you're way. I think you haven't all the education you claim, never been in the military, to the extent you claim, if at all. And I think you might even be one of the teen-agers you accused RiM of sounding like. I detest bullies, even intellegent ones. I joined this site to learn more about Survival, not reams & reams of "pysco-babble". This "Senile", smothering, father-figure is taking the "bus" outta here. Bye!:cool:

[eddiec]

Alright, come on, guys... Let's not get with all the fighting and the gnashing of the teeth. We all need to get along if the pack is going to survive(?). Let's get over this, and go back to what we're all good at. Whatever that is, I don't know. But let's get back to it, GOSH DARNNIT! Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. Let's all take a deep breath, count backwards from 10, and get back into the meaningful discussions that led me to put this forum into my favorites section...

[FVR]

They're big boys and will get over it.

Sooner or later.

[owl_girl]

Volwest your analogy of Sarge was incorrect. There’s been people in my life that I feel smothered by but Sarge isn’t one of them.

[owl_girl]

I know you didn’t claim to be correct, I didn’t say you did so why is that an issue? I was simply letting you know you were incorrect and you saying you didn’t claim to be correct sounds a little passive aggressive to me.
However I do think that if you your self felt smothered by Sage you should have said you did and not have said people do because I don’t.

And I do value what you bring to the forum. I certainly didn’t say you weren’t bringing anything to the forum.

[nell67]

volwest,

I value your outlook,or opion on subjects on the forum ,becuase you give me another way to look at what I thought I already knew.

[wareagle69]

like i stated earlier if what volwest post offends you. may be you need to look a little closer, isn't the saying truth hurts. although too analytical for my tastes sometimes i think that VW brings an important element to this forum, the psychological aspect of survival is the fundamental aspect of survival in my opinion.

[owl_girl]

Wareagle he said people feel smothered by Sarge and I was saying I don’t feel that way. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable statement.

Volwest I don’t expect everything you says to be correct, and I’m going to tell you when I don’t think your correct. It’s not a matter of being emotional.

take the blinders off.... this is why me and others are leaving......

[ryaninmichigan]

I am making you leave ?
lolllll

Are you going to slam the door too ?


Owl_girl,
I never felt smothered by Sarge...and i am glad you didn't either...my statement was a generalized one, and we do not constitute a generality.
I thought my answer to you saying that i was incorrect was a apropos, but if you see a passive aggressive response, it was not meant to be.
Just a clarification on my points of views. Just like i took this answer from you : "I certainly didn’t say you weren’t bringing anything to the forum."

But then again, maybe you consider your own clarification as passive aggressive...

So...in light of my notes on Sarge making too many waves, i will remove them from my posts...

Thank you for your input.

You are not making me leave. You are just annoying and I have doubts about any useful information have to bring to the table. So please respond in at least 4 paragraphs that will have nothing to do with this so I will quit reading after the first couple of sentences.

RiM, don't let this "numpty" run you off, he's not worth it, and doesn't run this forum! I'm asking you to stay and, if you would, qualify that remark you made that got WE riled up. As a member of this pack you have the right to be heard!:cool: Besides, FVR is correct, as Survivalists we need to have thick skins, right?:confused:

[ryaninmichigan]

My skin is thick enough. When I said “I am the most dangerous thing in the woods” It was not meant as a statement of violence. The fact is a good man and his rifle need not worry about anything in the woods. That is all.

I would find that true to a certain extent, there are some things anybody in the woods might have to fear, correct!:confused:

[ryaninmichigan]

Not sure what you are asking. As far as wild animals? I would fear lack of water, injury, things out of my control but as far as animals where I am nope I fear no animal if properly prepared. I am not going to hunt bears with a 10/22 for instance……………

I hear you RiM, but is fear the right term? If you check back a few posts I believe it was WE or someone who mentioned that heavy caliber rounds have been known to bounce off Moose antlers when they have their heads down and are charging. Hunters have been killed by bears that they have put several rounds into. Who was it that said "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"?
Here's an interesting fact. How do you know when a hunter is in a state of panic? When he throws away his pack and his RIFLE! Panic is the thing to think about. Keeping a level head no matter what, wouldn't you agree?:confused:

[ryaninmichigan]

Yep panic and another word that fits well is respect. I do not fear them but I do respect their power. not to woudl be foolish
