Howdy all. So happy to have found this place on the web. Commendations to Mr. Ritter. This is as fine a survival site as I've ever encountered, with plenty of good info.

I dunno what your policy is on product endorsements, so I'll reserve posting my opinions/observations until I feel more comfortable about it, or you all let me know if that's okay. I do spend a fair amount of time in the bush, and in remote, relatively inaccessible locations( I am responsible for maintaining comms equipment on mountaintops 365/24/7).

What else can I tell you? I am a certified Hunter Education instructor (volunteer) for the state of Washington, and I teach camp cooking using cast iron etc through our local community education programs. I also cater outdoors on occassion.

My best survival gear is a 77 Suburban 4wd that I am "Improving" in many different ways. I don't fly much, and my sea going days are a matter of history (US Navy 20 years ago) so my tactics for survival are pretty much land based.

Anyways, I don't want to ramble too much. I look forward to posting here regularly and reading your posts with great interest.
