Wilderness Survival Website?

**swampyankee** · 03-08-2008, 09:07 PM

I spend most of my time in the woods (work and play) and I'm looking for websites that deal with woodcraft and survival skills. I have no interest in all that end-of -the-world buy me some guns garbage. If you happen to have a recommended site, I appreciate it.

Now that's too funny. But if you are serious, follow Nell's advice. Search for what you want, check out the blogs, ask real questions.

Hey Nell,
Thanks for your reply. I wish it were true but most replies here seem to be end of the world stuff. I cruise timber in the north east and my worries involve getting stuck out in the woods. I don't give a rats *** which military unit you've been in or where you've been. That appears to be all anyone cares about at this site.

If you can't find what your looking for ask. Someone will be glad to help you out.

**crashdive123** · 03-08-2008, 10:16 PM

Before the denegrates into a shouting match or pissing contest - Swampyankee, exactly what type of information are you looking for?

Did not seem like a very gentelmanly post, to be expected from a yankee I suppose

Well...Sirs...Crashdive and Beerrunner,
If I came across as rude I apologize, but my original question is the same.I'm looking for wilderness survival, as opposed to survivalist, information and websites. This site appears to be overwhelmingly involved with the latter.

OK then. Right now there are:

1,829 threads on this site
31,796 posts on this site
1,148 members of this site with
244 active members to this site

I am sure that there is a wealth of wilderness survival information in there for you to obtain. When I said what are you looking for I meant what specific information about wilderness survival. Your original question was where you could find a website on wilderness survival - for the reasons you stated. As I'm sure you are aware, there are alot of choices out there, but as far as a forum where you can have discussions on the topics ..... I believe this is the place. If you do a search on a topic and can't find it, start a thread. If you don't like some of the discussions that take place, don't participate in them. Again, I believe this is the best site on the web for wilderness survival discussions. Hope you find what you're looking for here - there are alot of people willing to assist.

The signal is bouncing off the moon right...about....now!

**swampyankee** · 03-08-2008, 11:13 PM

Hey Crashdive,
I appreciate your reply and the statistics that you took the time to support it with. I suspect that you are mor educated than you let on (Beerrunner brought up my Yankee..ness? Now you see why I'm looking elsewhere....

**crashdive123** · 03-08-2008, 11:15 PM

Good luck with what you're looking for. It would probably be a bit more helpful if you wouldn't insult the members when you start a thread, or with your comments. Just how educated do I appear to you?

Just start a thread, We will be happy to talk about it. Some of these threads go nowhere, and some threads you can not kill with a silver bullet. 70% of the stuff here I don't care about, so what. So I just play where I want, sometimes I get my feelings hurt, Sometimes I want to slap the crap out of the young members, But this is America and everyone is entitled to their stupid opinion, even me and my dumb opinion. So just grab a thread, I for one would love to learn about timber cruising.

I think you brought up your yankeeness.......swampyankee. If you can not find a thread on here that dosen't suit your needs I doubt you could find your butt with both hands. And as for not giveing a rats *** about what unit I was in ..you are still welcome for my service.

**Assassin Pilot** · 03-08-2008, 11:47 PM

@ swampyankee: survival stuff that will 99% never happen is what we talk about when we get bored. the majority of the stuff on the first couple pages are that specifically. if you do a search using the search feature, you will be surprisingly pleased.

Survival kit (something that you will probably be carrying around)

Survival knife (something you will carry around 24/7)
http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ead.php?t=1297

Clothing / footwear (something I hope your wearing 24/7)

http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ead.php?t=1386

A whole subforum on wild foods (something you may end up eating)
http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=17

we have plenty of stuff around here. Just stick around and know where to look.

Hopeak says: Just start a thread

I was under the impression that I did just that. I went up to the most basic thread (general survival discusion) and asked a general survival question and all I'm receiving is general survival crap (except of course for the yankee bull**** from beerrunner). I just asked a question. If you don't want to answer it, just don't.
