    Question WHAT is a "WOODSMAN"...???

    Now a'days we have outdoor enthusiast, survivalist, wilderness survivalist, weekend campers, and weekend hunters, and RV'ers.

    We have people who wonder if it is remotely possable to bring a pot of water to a boil with only wood for fuel.

    There was a time when a man was a "Journeyman Outdoors man" but, he did not "KNOW" that, that was what he was.

    Others said he was a "Woodsman".

    Odd you seldom hear someone refereed to as: a "Woodsman".

    The reason for that, Hopeak, is because they are a secretive and clandestine bunch. They hold meetings in darkened upstairs rooms of downtown buildings and plan to rule the government through their secret society. Many of our politicians....wait a minute....that's the Masons....never mind:

    We DON'T meet in downtown buildings we meet up a hollow with one way in & out. If you have a 4X4 truck with a gun rack in the window you can advance close enough to be recognized. A mason is the name of a jar we "bottle" our 'shine in. Can't tell you anymore I would have to shoot myself.

    See how secretive they are? They "pretend" they are a glass jar. You don't get more secretive than that.

    I suppose dressed in a suit and driving a black Tahoe would get me recognized wouldn't it?

    But, is the "Mason" jar half empty, or half full, or is that one of the top secret ritual questions....????

    From an engineering perspective, Hopeak, the jar was simply manufactured too large. We should be able to reduce the dimensions with a resultant savings of 15% on raw materials. 8% on energy costs and 20% by hiring shorter people to package the shorter jars.

    Dumb question. If you're drinkin' out of it then it's half empty and you need a refill. If somebody offers you a little snort of theirs then it's half full so you can drink with a clear conscience. That black Tahoe would get you in. That's it, just in. I sure am glad the others only use a computer for porno or I would really be in trouble. Can't give any particulars, gotta pick up my tailored camos to wow the ladies(cut full in the tummy and discretely padded in other places). If they ever find out my ggrandpa fought for the Union in the 14th KY I would be in deep dodo.

    I like that answer, but I think there are probably more woodsmen than there are people who can sharpen a chainsaw properly, lol.
    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"

    I agree with that. However, since I spend alot of time in Wilderness areas (no motorized things allowed) I'll add "properly use and sharpen a crosscut saw
