Hey Pete,

Maybe we Northern Marylanders should start our own "Equipped" club. We could have meetings and minutes and secret handshakes and secret codes....

Or we could just go to the brew pub for a cold one.

I vote for number 2. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Considering how fast the area is developing, it won't be long before there isn't any wilderness in MD to practice our skills.

Welcome to the forum Rumbaugh!

hey guys, thankyou for the very warm welcome. im from Harford County. and the 7 P's thing. well i "borrowed" that from my favorite author, Richard Marcinko (i can see the eyes rolling now)...i dunno, i guess ive always had that "Be Prepared" mindset. haha, to this day all my friends refer to me as MacGuyver (i KNOW im not alone!)...

Hey Greg, et al-

Actually, I was thinking of something along the idea of a “survival” weekend, here in the Maryland area. I believe, unfortunately after the fact, that the Primitive Skills Society had a program up in the Thurmont area one year. I do not know if they rotate around the country, but I was thinking, why not have something similar. The idea would to have volunteer instructors come and present topics on a combination of traditional skills, contemporary skills and manufactures/suppliers of survival products. It is just an idea at this point but depending upon my available free time, I may try and put something together. Pete

i fully support a lil seminar weekend. ive been trying for a while to convince friends of mine to come out and play in the woods. they never wanna take me up on it. ill be the first to tell you that i am "amateur" incarnate, but im pretty durn responsible and most definetly humble enough to listen to those that have B.T.D.T. i think my email is attached, if not =====> harcokid13@hotmail.com (and im in the harford county area)
