I think I need to agree with the majority of responses to this thread. The dad needs to be the main source of outdoor education. If he doesn't have the knowledge then I'm sure it wouldn't be hard...

I started in the 80's. My Grandfather bought me a Swiss Army Knife when I was seven and a hatchet when I was 11. I lived in a (sort of) remote location with 100+ acres of land that we owned and...

Thanks Crash.

LOL, I don't usually shoot with an arm guard but at least once a year I "remind" myself why I need to be conscious of how I'm holding my bow. Nothing leaves a bruise on my arm quite as well as that...

Step 1:
I took a piece of paper (just notebook paper) that was roughly the size of the scrap of leather I was going to use. Folded the paper in half and traced out a design that I thought would fit...

So, here's the story. I'm out with a friend of mine spending the afternoon hunting for deer. It's archery season and I love spending the time out doors. Between my job, my beautiful wife's job and...

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Due to a recent leg injury (something popped while I was running, guess I'm not as young as I thought I am) I discovered that sitting in a tree stand for hours hurts really bad. That means I've been...

Semper Fi Brother.

My grandfather gave his to my older brother when he turned 16. I successfully stole it from him when he joined the Air Force but he asked for it back some years later :-( Best knife I ever used for...

I haven't humped a pack since my Marine Corps days. Recently, however, I have started to exercise again. I was quickly starting to resemble the Pillsbury doughboy and my last annual checkup with...

Wooly-Pully!! Best piece of gear ever. I got too fat for the one I was issued in the Corps but my brother was still in the Navy at the time and bought me a new one that fit. It is the most...

I too explained it to my wife this way.... I still had to take out the garbage :glare:

Nice! Looks like a good time.

Nice man, my boys are as infatuated with fire as I am. It's cool because I can teach them the right way to do things and since they want to learn how to do it they absorb all the info like little...

Ah, Murphy.... He's almost like an old friend at this point. I've gotten so used to him tripping me up that I'm almost disappointed when he doesn't show up.

On a serious note. In the Marines...

Too true. When I'm getting ready to go hunting I'm more concerned with the 2 legged predators than I am with the 4 legged ones. There've been quite a number of incidents of deer steeling (at...

Nah, not really. We've got a few black bear in my area plus some coyotes and (I've seen the picture proof but D.E.C. still deny they live here) some mountain lions. Been camping here (SW NY) all my...

Hello and welcome from NY

Although I've not been a very active member of the former forum, I try to only comment if I really feel that what I'm adding to the conversation is helpful and pertinent, I was saddened to see it go....
