Sphinx, First welcome to the forum. Your comments reflect views that are very common among us. Our community includes 2 M.D.s, a D.V.M, retired Dentist, 2 Archaeologists, many folks involved in emergency services, military,ex military and all the many occupations my grandmother called 'honest work'. We have people from many nations,religous and political identities and all age groups. We have one common bond; being prepared for urban and wilderness emergencies. There is a social conceit regarding 'modern gear, or stuff'. Returning to our primordial roots clean and pure from nasty old industrial gizmos has become a psychological rebirth and rejection of the urban termitorium and Koyyanisquatsi. But lets reverse our journey. Our ancestors created cities WITH those same tool kits we laboriously replicate. There is utterly NO difference between a Leatherman and a chert scraper. There is even less difference between Gilgamesh and the Wildman, Beowulf and Grendel or Abbot and Costello. <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
