    Default Hello from Houma, Louisiana USA

    Hi everyone. I'm somewhat new to actual survival training, but have lived in south Louisiana all my life. This place is known by a lot of people as "Sportsman's Paradise" - that is if you don't mind getting wet and muddy. I've always been able to find my way out of a somewhat tight situation (thank you, God), and I have somehow been able to use what the environment offers me when I see the need. I guess it's in my blood (as mostly anyone's) as a Louisianian.

    I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you guys. I've already browsed through several threads looking at pictures and learning different techniques on traps, rafts, etc.

    I really like Bear Grylls and Les Stroud. Some people think these guys aren't actually doing what TV shows, but I, personally, don't care. Anyone who can offer me tips, knowledge, and information on how to live off the land and conquer any obstacle with the obvious training and/or background in being able to do so gets my respect - as will anyone here in the forums.

    I hope I didn't sound too snub on my first post as an introduction, but I just wanted to get the hello out there with a little bit extra. As stated above, I'm looking forward to learning from you guys.

    Welcome.
    Your right on about Bear Grylls and Les Stroud et. al.
    I also don't care of the source if it is a rational piece of information or tip I can use.
    Wander around the forums and put your two cents in. Sounds like you have great practical working experience. We're not all experts here and if you throw us a new tip/info...Thank you.

    Welcome home. As to the source of knowledge. Any source is a good source if you can tell the difference between good and bad information.

    Welcome to the Forum, Cobra! Bit of advive: When Rick said, "Any source is a good source if you can tell the difference between good and bad information," he was warning you to pay no attention to him. Maybe he's developing a conscience in his old age.
