I'm new here. I just wanted to say hello to all of you, and to give a little bit of my background.

First of all, I have been browsing these forums for about 2 days. Within those 2 days, I have learned a hell of a lot. Thanks to all of you for that.

Second, I am rather new to being a "survivor". Although, I have been raised in multiple environments - mountains, forests, deserts and Germany (lol). I have a lot of stories to tell (all as a child/teen).

Third, I love the outdoors. I love animals, insects and all life. Although, I am realistic in my views, and have no problem killing them for my own survival. It may sound, and may be arrogant, but it's the truth.

So, that's the overview of who I am. Over time, I'm sure I'll share my stories. However, I am here to learn and listen, first and foremost. Again, thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge.
