New guy here

Good morning, I’ve attempted to turn off the Tapatalk ads. Let’s hope I was successful. In one of the post I was reading for new members i believe it was by GA flatwoods, very direct no BS, all in all a good write up, towards the end of the post I was picking up a Paris island education. Would that be correct? I too am a graduate,” Hotel” class of 2000. Back to introduction, I am a hobbyist if I must throw a label to it. More like an old soul. I live in Alabama it use to be middle of nowhere but in the past few years it’s upgraded to BFE and then to small town! With the threat of even more upgrades. I feel that as a society we are moving to fast forwards. So we tend to forget about some of the things that are just important. Where we’ve been and how we got here. Even the definition of a hard days work has drastically changed in just a few short years! Things like distilling, cutting grass with a scythe instead of a lawn mower, being self sufficient are becoming things of the past. I stumbled upon this forum and I have noticed the amount of information here.

Welcome and thank you for your service. It would definitely come in handy if shtf. In the meantime you can have fun and enjoy the fruits of your labor. In the end, the old school ways are better.

Thank you! And I agree most of the old school ways are better! Don’t get me wrong I love my riding mower but a good sling blade or a good sharp brush scythe makes you feel accomplished!

You are 100% correct, all we can do is try to pass it down to keep the old ways and lessons alive. I'm working on instilling it into my grandkids , my kids picked up on most of it.
