HISTORY OF THE WILDERNESS SURVIVAL FORUMS

Chapter 1 - Part 2
In The Beginning………

So, Chris put that idea of his to work on February 4, 2007. He brought the Forums on-line as our first Member (and Administrator/Owner). Here’s proof:

After that, it was silent for a while. Was Chris lonely here all by himself? Only he knows for sure. The second Forums Member joined the next day, but never wrote a single post or ever logged in again. That was his loss. His screen name was……….
