Living in the woods

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
to say it with the words of maxwell smart: ""i find that very hard to believe!"" (= meeting a woman doing this sort of thing)
There are plenty of adventurous women around :) I was raised by one who taught me to shoot sail and camp, married another who threw up a high flying career for a simple life and raised a third who was horse riding on a different continent, without her parents, before hitting her teens.

Pioneers would not have colonised much without pioneer women!

then you are a lucky fellow :) - for myself i can only quote phil o'brien: ""a relationship is something what happened to two people in a movie i saw once""" (my comment was more aimed at the idea of the OP which is not exactly legal and IMHO a little bit foolish)

,,OK, here's how the local native community lived in winters with real cold (-30C) and real snow (5-15').''

and this is how an other local community build a pit house with almost real cold (only -25C) and almost real snow (30-40cm) just in a few hours.

Exactly so. I often hear or read somebody saying that if you find a good woman you should work hard to keep her happy. In my experience if she's truly a "good" woman it's not hard at all; just tell her how pretty she is and take her fishing.

Our local native population occupied their pit houses for several thousand years. As you have seen,
they were large and comfortable. Relict house pits demonstrate the consistent size.
I'm content = my GF/partner/hunting buddy is a carnivore, willing to kill as much as limits allow.
She cleans her own kills. Some days, she shoots much better than I do. That's cool to watch.
 
Things work a bit different in Norway. You might have heard about feminism? The simple act of seeing women as persons, not women?

Feminism? Yeah, I've heard of it. We have it here too. Feminists can be a PITA to maintain. But my post was about how to maintain a "good woman." They're two different things.

EXACTLY - plenty good feminist women in Scotland - the only problems are the sexist males - eg at Westminster...

So comical how often forum threads turn to politics even when they originally had nothing at all to do wit it, like this one jumping to feminism and politics, if someone could just mention Hitler this will be complete in the offtpicness of forum threadery (ohhhh shizzle it was me who mentioned Hitler hahahahaha dammit)
 
That may be so Nic A Char but members shold refrain from the overtly political, here isn't the place for it!

Ahh, it's really not, it's just people thinking that their view is the only valid one in the world and make things political, we'd have more truly great threads if people could just stop killing them...

The most important thing is not 'who's right' but rather 'what's right'
 
You're quoting the Boss there :D

He says that in the Mods when we're up in arms about something :o

It's a bit like my "You have a right to an opinion but it doesn't mean that your opinion is right!" :D
