Thanks for the positive reinforcement, y'all. I'll definitely put your advice to practice.

It's not advisable to suck the venom from a snake bite. You should never attempt that. Mucous membranes such as your mouth, nose, eyes, vagina, etc. have far more capillaries and small vessels close...

To Rick and Alpine Sapper:

Thank you for the perspective. What you have to say definitely makes sense, and I know it's true. I do feel a lack of control in a lot of areas in my life and it...

What stresses me out is feeling like I'm waiting for the proverbial "other shoe" to drop. I'm constantly preparing, reading, practicing, thinking about when the S H's the F. But it's given me an...

Buh-zinga!

Probably not. So, you need a flame, and all you've got is this battery operated lighter...then the battery dies. Then what? If you don't have a battery you don't get to survive? Isn't that pretty...

Hey, tenne. I like the name. Tennessee/Cedar. What'd you go to prison for?

I agree with crash.

Damn, you're quite the craftsman.

I don't really know much about wood sealing, but if it works, it works. Right? Good on ya, partner.
