All fired up and no-one to flame??

What's happening??

I've been reading a few threads today and I'm amazed at the negativity I've seen in some of them (not going to mention which). Is there something in the water or is a full moon on the way? We're all here for the same reason which is sharing our experiences, enjoying the cameraderie of like minded people, sometimes teaching, often learning from each other I just don't know why some are getting so hot under the collar about the smallest things. C'mon guys, summer is on the way, take a deep breath, smell the spring air and chill out a bit.


You know it makes sense

Reminded me of this cartoon:

It's a compulsion, I reckon...

etc.

Add in 20 m of half made fishing line and that was me last night
Then realising I had a nice warm husband to cuddle into, in a nice comfy bed, and I thought, "bu**rit" and gave in .

cheers,
Toddy

Well said.

I can't really add anything that doesn't sound like I am lowering myself to the level of those that can have arguement over a blade of grass.

One of the main reasons I don't make many posts on online forums in general. Seems to have something to do with the non face-to-face nature of the medium and being anonymous. (disclaimer IMHO)

Reminds me of an old Red Vs Blue sketch called "Real life Vs The Internet" - link below

Funny if it wasn't so true!

Summer's on the way? We just got 30 cm of snow in Toronto. We don't have sidewalks in our neighborhood anymore, and I think the dog's going to start burrowing through the snow rather than try to stay on top of it.

Yup, summer is on the way. It might just take a wee bit longer to reach the colonies

Get yersel' a nice glass of single malt, snap off an icicle, pop it in the malt and enjoy.

I suppose there are always many reasons, but perhaps Bikething is right and the impending storm has put people on edge, in the same way that very muggy weather can make people irritable.

I was just discussing this same thing on a fishing forum that I am a member of...its the winter doldrums. Bushcrafters & fisherman are outdoors people...and while we can go outside, its the months and months of cold rain and wind that give people a sort of cabin fever.
Im the first one to say that there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices. However, I cant wait till I can be outside shoeless and in shorts and a t-shirt again.

Now there's a man after me own heart !!

 

[andy_e]

does this mean we have to argue about which malt is best now?

 

[TallMikeM]

Reminded me of this cartoon:

brilliant, I'm liking that a lot (and I suspect that's been me once or twice)

 

[fishy1]

Forkedstick, I was thinking the same, it's tyhe end of the winter and the easy bushcraft can begin.

Only after trying them all - you buying?

At the next moot or whatever, lets all just bring a bottle.. or two..


Cheers Nag.
