I’m not even a real bushcrafter!

I don’t know enough for 4000 posts - but thinking about it that has never stopped me from writing about anything.

May I use #4001 just to say a big Thank You to all here who let me tag along.

Pat.

People talk a lot of shite on the internet. Standard.

For me 18 years, 9k posts... less than 2 posts a day on average.

Wait... isn't it traditional/a custom... when declaring a post count to do a small comp for someone to win something? I remember many such events....Its like offering the forum a small thank you for listening to our drivel for so long, while offering a little bit (silly comp, silly small prize) back. Such as... Went out foraging mushrooms today... (insert pic of foraged shrooms)... Nearest guess to what it weighs... wins an (insert prize here)... Normally an unwanted item that others might make use of, some material... bag of birch bark etc... Don't recall anyone offering to pay someone's mortgage, or buy them a custom knife... Just tit for tat, things, that made people engage with one another. Kept the place ticking. Soooo....

What you got? And what's the competition...

Are you getting Message postings mixed up with Reaction scores Mr Fenna??

You cleared 4000 posts ALONG time ago.

 

[Broch]

I think it was tongue in cheek

 

[Tengu]

Oh, hes got far more Reaction scores than me.

Im going to sulk.

Nope.

Nope.

Oh yes it is ....

Win a Leather Bound Field/Note Book

**** And the Winner is nitrambur with 15/19 correct answers ****

OK, I know 3,000 posts is minute by comparison to many (some have ten times that number!) but I haven’t offered a competition and prize before, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to do so

The Competition:
This competition is a virtual treasure hunt around my area of Wales. It gives me the opportunity to introduce you to some of the beautiful countryside and places around here. You can answer the clues by using on-line tools such as Street View and general information...

I'm disappointed the post wasn't a heads up on a new historical fantasy film about Spartans.

Not a real bushcrafter? I've never attempted bushcraft in my life yet I'm already north of 500 posts in just a few months. It's a funny old world eh? Still, it's a pleasure conversing with you (and everyone else).

Strangely I seem to have more in common with you guys than I do with 'normal' people in the real world. No one else seems to be interested in saws, axes, rain gear, setting fires, eating food from hedges, types of walking socks or any of the other weird things you lot regularly talk about. I came here to ask a question about poncho sizing but ended up staying for the people. It's a fun place.

 

[HorseGuy]

It's all about the reaction score to messages ratio.
I'm on about 72% reactions to messages. Can anyone else's beat that?

 

[John Fenna]

Oooops - nearly 24,000 not just 4000
Nearly 4,000 reactions (not always good reactions ...)

 

[Pattree]

Indeed John.
If my last ten posts received eight reactions was it:
Eight reactions to one out of ten.
One reaction to eight out of ten - And was it from one person or from eight?

(Or anything in between)

Perhaps a fringe dwelling, adequist, not quite bushcrafter - doesn’t always say the right thing and scores a low reaction.

Perhaps he’s being far too analytical - sorry-ish!

 

[Pattree]

Oh yes it is ....

Oh @Broch

n = 1 ≠ tradition

I believe there is an old bushcraft saw that says:
“One fried squirrel does not a Bushmoot make.”

Nope. You and your assumptions.

 

[Tengu]

Im no real Bushcrafter.

I dont even count myself as an outdoorsy sort...I much prefer the Archive to outside.

(Who said "No Archive without Outside?")

 

[oldtimer]

I may be wrong but I don't think reactions were counted in the early years. Therefore, long term members' post/réaction ratios cannot be compared with those of newer members.

For what it's worth, since joining in 2005, my 3490 posts provoked 2349 reactions or about 67%
