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="" />

rumbaugh a warm welcome!
Hope you enjoy it here and learn a lot.

btw i read an alternative to your sig... proper planning plus prep prevents [censored] poor performance

Rumbaugh:

I heard a similar quote in the movie "The Asassins" starring James Caan that went, "Proper planning and procedure prevents [censored] poor performance", also known as the "Seven P's".

Bonjour, Rumbaugh !

Bienvenue sur ce forum .... <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We used to post this on the wall at one of my previous jobs:
"Positive prior planning prevents [censored] poor performance" next to: "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an automatic emergency on my part!".
Comments from clients made the boss take the second one down from the wall. <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
Plus, we charged a lot more for clients that didn't plan, and needed something emergently! <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

lets see with how many Ps we can come up with...

Proper positive prior planning plus prep and procedure prevents [censored] poor performance

I count 13Ps so far <img src="images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I really hate it when I have to "P" 13 times for any reason.

Try getting drunk on Schlitz (or fit any other beer that costs less that $.33 a can) Ultra LIght. After 24 of them you would pee 13 times and still be sober.

No wonder they say French is a language of love. Frenchy said "hello" and "welcome to the forum" but when my coworker pronounced that for me with the rigth accent I said: "Marry me?".... Too bad she is taken <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah and welcome to the forum where you learn a lot of handy and useful things (or not).

Matt

Welcome to the forum. Where in Northern Maryand are you from? Pete
