It's exremely difficult to teach or share "field craft" via the internet. I understand what you are talking about but I don't see how to resolve the issue without turning it in to another "Field and Stream" example of an attempt at teaching field craft gone wrong sort like thier last quiz (Not that I don't like Field and Stream, as I do enjoy F&S its just that field craft that works in the NE desn't always translate to Rocky Mountains and visa-versa).

The way I see it is like this,
1. I can not teach you field craft over the net.
2. I can talk about gear I have used that can help mitigate the field craft learning curve.
3. I think everyone, or at least I hope everyone, understands that NOTHING is as good as hands on time.
4. For somepeople on here, hands on time is impracticle to impossible (I fully realize how lucky I am to have the acess to the outdoors that I do, I've known guys who the closest to woods they have ever been is the Outdoor Network) and the best they can do is go gear heavy to compensate.
