In the Klondike Gold Rush (Yukon Territory) 1896 - 1899 more-or-less,
newcomers were called "chechako." After a winter up there, you earned the name "sourdough."
Like being a "polliwog" until you sail across the equator and King Neptune ceremoniously declares you a "shellback." (December, 1968.)

What would a bushcrafter have to do?

Hell, just came across thread, remember contributing but forgot that I started it. With this new change, has somebody pinched the "new posts" button thingy?

Elder-corner.

To First Nations, the Elders are the repositories of language, history, skills, traditions and sensible advice.
They are pretty careful about these things, not to lose them.
Heiltsuk oral history on the BC west coast has been accurate for the past 14,500 years.

COVID-19 has generated great concern for the welfare of elders, all across the country.

....where the wise, young at heart, yet of diminishing health, stamina egg etc, can post stuff about whatever outings they manage? Like me 64 (65 soon) in need of walking poles and any other aids WE need to get ourselves out into nature. We could exchange methods of coping and managing degrees of failing strength and whatever else, BUT, to stay positive, exchange tips on how to do whatever necessary to get our old backsides out of doors. Something like this? PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS CLIP TOO SERIOUSLY??? :):):)

Brilliant especially the music was it from Last of the Mohicans ?

Better than what I used to be known by when I was a Site Agent, the lads used to introduce me to new workers as The Spanish Archer, El Bow, as if you weren't worth your Salt as they used to say you got the elbow.
