Welcome home. Hoosiers rule!!! Nothing wrong with being a wannabe novice. Everyone has to start somewhere. Pull up a chair and starting reading. Use the search button at the top. If you have a question, chances are pretty good there is a thread (or many) on it. If you can't find the answer or the answer doesn't answer your specific question then ask away!!

Hello and welcome!! Hey if you can cook over an open fire I figure you have a pretty darn good start.You can learn the rest. There's also an official book thread you can check out. We were just up in Indiana this last weekend - Had a blast! I'm originally from a small town too.
Don't feel bad, my other half is just starting out too her username is Equus. I'm sure she will stop by in a little while, and say hi!

Unless you are a hunk of wood I don't think you have too much to worry about!!LOL I just sharpened her 'Hawk for her though, but she doesn't have anything to throw it at just yet. Poor Equus.... she's lost without her Target.
