Why do I hear Queen playing in the background?
Seriously? You have a girl friend. You had the opportunity to stay with her from the beginning and you chose to tramp in the woods. Right. Excuse me while I go reset the drag on my reel.

This is by far the most intelligent, wisest, mature, responsible post I've read from you as of late. A lot of people confuse the 2 terms: ""Survival" & "Camping". They do NOT mean the same thing untill your camping trip goes south! By gaining experience in the outdoors you should achieve your goal of getting in tune with nature. Might I suggest finding an "outdoors group" of sorts in your area? It may take some work & research, but in the end what you learn will be of great benifit. Please don't confuse my previous concern for your safety & well-being as coming off as a "smart-azz". Such was not my intent. However I DO speak bluntly & honestly about what's on my mind so you'll know exactly where I stand. I, for one, did not take offense at your "Boy Scout" comment, but rather, was alarmed at what you were going to attempt to do with your total lack of experience. To me it would be like going into brain surgery with the surgeon being a high school senior who had just completed a semester of a "Health Class". I don't think that you were "scared out of it", either, you were just displaying wisdom, & that's nothing to be ashamed of. BTW, did you ever read "Into The Wild" by Jon Krakour? Great reading! Please feel free to browse the sticky on "Survival Books" as well as what's posted on the Blogs. Great prepatory study!

It's not hatred, it's simple fact. These guys live their lives under the main rule of RESPECT!! Respect for the land, respect for the animals, respect for the other man (this includes not tresspassing on their land). It is an insult to ask in this forum for help to disrespect the landowner. Don't be supprised if you get called out on it. All they were doing was trying to get you to go about it the right way (getting permission before squatting on someone's land). These guys will not sugarcoat anything for anyone, especially if what you are doing is WRONG!!!
Now you can hate me too!!

So Nick.....the story about not having the money to stay on campus was forcing you to consider living in a clandestine fashion in the woodswas what?Jimmythehat said: I realized that housing would cost me $2,000. This is about $2,000 more than I have and to my luck my campus has woods close by (7 1/2 miles?).

Don't get us wrong, we're not against you learning and getting a few bumps and bruises. But I personally draw the line at learning while losing a limb, or losing a life, or breaking the law.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams
Dogs are not my whole life, but they make my life whole.
