Hello, all!  I've been a fan of ETS for quite awhile but just recently started perusing the forums. So far this seems to be the best site of its kind on the web. I'm basically a sane, rational person with no interest in radical politics or wacky survivalism, so most of the forums out there wear thin pretty quickly. This place feels much better. About me: I'm a long-time but (sadly) lapsed hunter and fisherman. I enjoy hiking and camping but have done very little of it over the last ten years. A couple summers ago I caught the bug again but most of my trips have been been car camping in the summer. My goal is to work my way back up to hiking and overnight trips again. I'm almost 41 and spent most of my life working as a chef until returning to school a couple years ago. Juggling full time school and full time work cuts into my free time, but during the summer I have time for little "adventures" every couple weeks. I hope to learn a lot about wilderness survival from all of you!

Welcome to the fire, Phaedrus! Hope we can make it worth your time. So tell me, are you a fan of motorcycle repair? Haha, no...but a very big fan of the book. It was the book that got me interested in philosophy. That led to Nietzsche, Kant, Camus and various other troublemakers!

Hi there, You and I have a lot in common. And thanks for bringing some books worthy of (re-)reading to my attention. Welcome  Sybert7777: Welcome to you too. One of the things I enjoy most at this site is the great diversity of age, gender and location. It makes for a great collective knowledge base and offers different perspectives on a lot of subjects. A funny paradox is although I fully agree to keep politics out of this forum, about the only internet forum where such discussions could be worth our time is probably with folks at ETS...

I'm almost 41 and spent most of my life working as a chef...
Welcome, Phaedrus. I'm interested in the car camping cuisine of a professional chef! What are your favorite camp dishes?
