"None of those people worked except worked their 'acreage'."

Yeah, farmers have that same problem.

"... it was not IMHO a very good example of what the vast majority of people attempt to do with low impact sustainment."

What??? Why should it be? Your 'vast majority' is parked in front of a TV with an electronic game in their hands, ingesting junk food and beer.

The 'vast majority' doesn't do diddly.

I think these people have done a tremendous job, and I also think the people who poke fun at them are just jealous because they aren't even close to capable enough to do anything remotely similar. If you can't match 'em, run 'em down!
