Are you ever going to actually ask something you want to know, or are you going to continue trolling all night?

Swampdonkey,

I've been looking for the same sight you're are in your original post for quites some time. There are good sites out there and there are some 'really' stupid ones. Yes every one that I have checked out will have your "SHTF" and "TEOTWAWNOI" posts, just don't read them.

This forum does have alot of good information, and some pretty silly information as well, just kick back and take the part you need home with you.

No the information I've found on this or any other website has lightened my pack by 20 lbs., but they do help you leave alot of stuff at home that you used to carry 'cause you had to'.

I don't know how it is cruising timber in the NE, but I've done a little out here in the PNW. If you get caught out over night, cool, unexpected camping trip....If your seriously injured, thats a different thing. I know the guy I worked for wanted his numbers NOW and if I was gone for 3 days with out him hearing from me, you can bet someone would be out looking for you.

I hope you hang around a bit and get a chance to see the good stuff hidden under the surface of this forum....if not, I've got a list of other places to check out....you just won't find a whole lot of the stuff you're looking for in any of them.

Alpine Sapper...refer to post #1...

Nell67... thanks...

That's not it at all. And for the record I am one of those military defender of the Constitution types that you so eloquently put it. Try looking at it this way.

Here's your first post.

I spend most of my time in the woods (work and play) and I'm looking for websites that deal with woodcraft and survival skills. I have no interest in all that end-of -the-world buy me some guns garbage. If you happen to have a recommended site, I appreciate it.

Now in that post, you say you are looking for a website that deals with woodcraft and survival skills. You also state what you are not looking for. Nell gave you a recommendation. Your response? Well here it is.

Hey Nell,
Thanks for your reply. I wish it were true but most replies here seem to be end of the world stuff. I cruise timber in the north east and my worries involve getting stuck out in the woods. I don't give a rats *** which military unit you've been in or where you've been. That appears to be all anyone cares about at this site.

Now here, you indicate that you are unhappy with the stuff that you've been reading. Then you go on to insult a large group of people that may disagree with your assessment of various military units. How do you expect people to respond?

You have received some responses that would appear to be helpful, such as doing a search on the topic that you are interested in. If you find one, post on it. It then moves to the front of the list and, viola, discussion. Hopeak and Sam also gave you sage advice, but you chose to insult again with your "twenty usless responses" comment.

People here are interested in the topics that you are interested in. There might just be a little better way to get the discussion going.

Nah, asking a question doesn't make him a troll. Asking an inflammatory question with no real relavance does.

"Alpine Sapper,you have been here since Jan?? Not really long enough to be calling a member of the pack a troll!"

So what does it take to be "a member of the pack" exactly?

"Alpine Sapper...refer to post #1..."

No thanks swampyankee, I've read it. Wasn't worth it the first time.

**swampyankee** · 03-09-2008, 01:09 AM

I just looked back at my posts in this thread and can't figure out how some have there britches in a knot. If it bothers you that much post it here in public,or PM me in private, but either way stop the ****ing whining.

**crashdive123** · 03-09-2008, 01:10 AM

I just did.

You joined the site,you are a member of the pack,and this is his first post,how is this inflammatory??

**swampyankee** · 03-09-2008, 01:14 AM

You all win...I'm done..I realley only wanted to ask an honest question....

Well then, I want you to know that I defended your right to say what you want. I don't know how to help you find what you want. I will say that the merry go round we are all on is making me dizzy. So lets ALL take a step back, and start over. If you think being in the service and all that entails is a load of crap then that is your right. Just try to be polite about it. Most of us are trying to be polite to you. So please ask something we can post about. I am with hopeak on the woods cruising thing. Please explain it to us.

It wasn't that post, it was this one:

"Hey Nell,

Yeah, I talk about some of my military service, but overall I'm here because I like to absorb information that may be useful and put it into practical application when I can. I've found a wealth of information here, and a lot of people who have quite a bit of experience and are not unwilling to share it. I'm sorry he can't locate the search button, and feels the need to call out members like it's the OK corral.

I do appreciate your peacekeeping efforts though, so I'm gonna respectfully bow out of the thread.

**nell67** · 03-09-2008, 01:18 AM

Swampyankee,I replied to your pm with what your asked for in your first post,I still believe this is the best site for wilderness survival,sometimes it does go a little off track.

**Ole WV Coot** · 03-09-2008, 01:27 AM

Son, if you have spent all your life working and playing in the woods and ain't learned anything on your own by now I don't see how you are breathing. You were probably in three cornered pants when I was in the woods but I can still learn a lot and maybe help somebody else. I will be glad to try and answer any question. My backyard is a few hundred acres and I enjoy every foot of them. You want to know something specific, ask. Probably men on here that have stepped over more knowledgeable than you on their way to take a leak, MY OPINION ONLY
