    Default Hello from Northern Virginia

    Hey all,

    I just came across your site. I am a 48 year old male, married with an 8 year old daughter, U.S. Army veteran, and Prostate Cancer survivor. I am trying to learn more wilderness survival\bushcraft skills. I've camped and hiked all my life so I'm not a total noob to the outdoors. My health has prevented me from much actual outdoor field time, but I'm hoping that will change.

    Welcome to WSF.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Howdy, and thank you for your service.
