Thread: Hello from Middle Tennessee

  1. #1

    Default Hello from Middle Tennessee

    Let's see here,
    I have been lurking around on this board for several months now and have seen many interesting and informative discussions. Now to give you some background on me.
    I have a B.S. degree in Anthropology
    I was in in the Air Force for 3 years before going Air Guard for 18 years. My career field in the guard was disaster preparedness. I retired from the military 2 yrs ago. The career field involved preping the military for war time and peace time disasters. I conducted Nuclear, Biological, Chemical defensive training.
    This past year as a hobby I have been studying local wild plants for edible, medicinal, and other uses.
    I have always since youth been interested in wilderness living but don't have much experience with camping or outdoor living. All the times that I have ever camped out can be counted on one hand. This past summer I attended a local edible, medicinal plant ID week long course. I have been doing plant ID and sampling at my own leisure all year now. I have owned the SAS Survival guide for almost twenty years now. My philosophy prior to this year was that if I needed to I could go out into the woods with a book if I needed to and was shocked to find out that there is alot of skills to master and that its not just knowledge. I have been expermenting with the fish bottle trap recently. Enough about me for now. Hello everybody.

    Welcome aboard, as far as picking crash as a hero, you could do worse ["](not much worse, but worse
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    What's this? I said you could do worse so you set out to prove me right?

    Well trax and chiya tanka there are several people on this forum that have given me insights that I didn't have before for wilderness living/survival so the tricks and ego inflations may not be over yet.
