Every so often one of us posts guide lines on how to become a "well-respected" member of this community, guess it's my turn...again! Here goes:
1st, post a decent intro! Spammers & Trolls do NOT post intros so to keep from being suspected of being one of them go thee hence: http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ead.php?t=7813
For the record, many of us here had never had the opportunity to post an intro based on these guidelines as it wasn't around back then; so we re-did our intros to make up for that.
2nd, & this is very important, please refrain from coming off like a self-proclaimed survival expert. You'll only come off as a "Numpty," instead of a respected Survival authority. We don't care how many books you've read, videos you've seen, how much internet info you've gotten, or how many episodes of "Man vs. Wild" you have under your belt. WE ARE NOT IMPRESSED!
3rd, & equally as important, do not refer to the term Surviving" as a game, subject, or the latest extreme sport; IT"S NOT! Survival is not a seperate subject that you list with "camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, etc.." It's an extension of those things. When things go South you want to survive. One "Newby/Numpty" put in his bio: "I love surviving." That is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. It's a "no-brainer;" unless you have a death wish of course you love surviving...if you don't survive you die...DUH!
4th, flaming a Mod is the same thing as hitting a cop; DON'T DO IT! You won't survive this forum!
Any questions? (Newbies only please; thanks.) :cool2:
