Explore the site and forums, IMHO is the best way for you to get a feel and form your own opinions of the site. I would venture to say both the site and forums are as diverse in coverage of survival, camping, hiking, first aid and numerous other topics as there are members. Members come from all over the world, have different needs, experiences and advise, making this one great place to hang out. Doug has provided us all with a valuable resource. Hang around and I know you will both enjoy and learn from the members. Pete
