    Here's one for ya'. I bought a fruitcake in December, 1999. I still have it - unopened. It doesn't appear to have changed a bit.

    And I'll punch any one of youse guyz that calls it fruitcake. Is NOT fruitcake. No citron. More bourbon. Not sure where mom got the recipe but man is it good stuff. Glad I learned to make it while she was still around.
    Sounds suspiciously like my mum's Christmas cake recipe (although she used Brandy). A designated driver was required if you were stupid enough to have a slice and expect to pass a breathalyser test.

    Ok, help my bewildered late nite brain here. How is a survivalist forum, and a survival forum, different? Is'nt the final goal the same?
    Aside from out right bushcraft forums, where the entire conversation centers around sitting in the mud naked rubbing two sticks together, and hoping for a happy outcome.

    Without splitting hairs I believe there is a clear difference. This forum is based around going into the wilderness and surviving. That is whether it is the end of the world, your truck ran into a ditch in the mountains, or just to live. Survivalist forums tend to be about the impending collapse of society "doom" and the aftermath "gloom" that will ensue. Here, that is only one situation that not everyone is dedicated to preparing for.

    This is not a survivalist forum. It's a forum about how to survive in the wilderness when the chips are down. It's about tips and tricks to employ to make your hike, camp, trail blazing, etc. more enjoyable. It is not about bunkers, the wrong politics, setting up kill zones or boobytraps. It's about how to enjoy the outdoors.

    I established a VERY EFFECTIVE kill zone to completely eradicate a serious breakfast at a local restaurant this morning. Does that count?

    WMD are really outside the bounds of the forum. I think your main concern will be survivors that can point the finger at you ... assuming there were any survivors.

    They frown when patrons lick the plates. Can you believe that?
