Jim I ain't bashin' the Scouts, I work weekly with a local Troop doing trailwork; and just about made Eagle Scout myself before my family moved.

I'm proficent as anyone I've ever encountered in the wilds or camps with my axes, hatchets, or knives. No pissin' contest needed once I take mine out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> It's not as if I am unaware of previous techniques, which have their place in certain areas. I no more condone blazing trails then I do throwing sharp things in camp for sh*ts and giggles. Unless someone happens to be an ER doctor <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Things of that nature are fine in re-enactment camps, but not in my backpacking camp. Funny, you think it's ok that the guy is a poacher/inpolar, and say you're a hunter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Hey, if my dog poop post bugged you that's the way it is Jim; on the East Coast there are way too many lazy non poop picker uppers, than responsible dog owners. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
