hey guys. i figured id get a good feeling for this forum befor i jumped in and made a complete ass of myself. so after a sufficient time lurking, ive decided to emerge from my cocoon of self-restraint and make a complete (albeit educated) ass of myself. wise-ass intro aside. greetings all! im Rumbaugh, im 22 male from northern maryland area. i, like most of you grew up playing in the woods. im proud to say that i still hold the best "Frogger" title in my old neighborhood. ive always been real interested in survival and wilderness related stuff. especially the knives, haha. i dont have the money as of now to have as many or as well stocked kits as id like, but i think thats a common mindset amongst packrats. i hope to learn alot from this community, and possibly contribute some different opinions/insights. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
