Also, I've noticed that my thinking has changed. I no longer see trees, flowers, grass, sticks, bushes and vines as "plants" anymore. Now I see tinder, kindling, fuel, spear blanks, thatch and cordage.

Anybody else?
Agree...son of liberty wrote:Abandon Suburbia! Get out of the city, get out of subdivided house farms, get back to old family homestead. It seems so crazy to me that so many of you are "Right" minded, guns, hunting, outdoors, yet you dwell in the land of cut lawns, HOA, completely removed from where you belong. I shoot out of my house when the kids are not home, Hunt deer out the back door, cut firewood from my own land, have several outdoor camps, Chickens, can grow a garden that would feed you all, shoo the wild turkey out of the chicken feeder, Shooting is no crazy task, I want to shoot, I shoot , takes 2 minutes to get to the range and thats if I dont have pants and shoes on. The land is cheaper, no one to tell you what you can do it, sure you will drive a bit farther, but would you drive as far to be in the woods?

Looking at the guy next door from your deck, pretty much sums it up!
Lol, my parents live out in LaGrange, but they live back in the woods, so I never had to deal with nosy neighbors. If I'm going to live that close to neighbors, I'd rather just be in the city with more activity. All or nothing for me.son of liberty wrote:Lagrange dont count as much as it once did, you Louisville types managed to move in and ruin that place as well!

Just to clarify....I'm not hating on anyone....long as your happy where your at, that's all that matters.Kadnine wrote:Westport had a great restaurant once called The Westport General Store. Guess not enough Northern Lou types fed it enough cash!
I happen to like semi-rural living. You call it "ruined" and I call it "best of both worlds." Get to live in a nice house, get to play in the woods, shoot guns, AND shop Krogers and Wal-Mart! And the neighbor across the street are straight up old school. Never bother anybody. fromkentucky knows what I'm talking about. There's Oldham County types, who feel privileged to live here, then there's "Oldham County Types" who won't even wave you back as you drive by! (You can usually spot them by the neon yellow bike shorts and color coordinated headband.)

I agree to some extent. Oldham Co of my childhood is long gone... When I was in elementary school the entire county only had one traffic light, and a few blinking red lights. LaGrange is crazy now! It's like driving through the Highlands most days, that's nuts... I spent 90+% of my time growing up in Westport. I LOVE that place although it's changing too. The general store was awesome! Big sloppy ass burgers and awesome biscuits and gravy. Always a must have after a long night of underage drinking...haha It was ran by a super nice family. They just didn't have the income to keep it going. They still live just as your coming into Westport. They should have stayed in the old building and not built the new one. I now live in Henry Co and will most likely end up further out as job and money allows. I won't do that until I can afford at least 25 acres. Shooting for more like 100+ though. We will see... I'm mid 30's, not 80 years old if your wondering...hahaKadnine wrote:Westport had a great restaurant once called The Westport General Store. Guess not enough Northern Lou types fed it enough cash!

Harb wrote:My problem is that I'm in a very turbulent phase of life. When not attending school, I'm working a job in the summer, and for that reason alone, I've had to move out of state twice. I can't go meet like-minded people and actually "do" things. I can only read articles on how it is supposed to be done. For example, I want to condition my body to carrying a full combat load and rucksack with my current array of emergency supplies. Can't do that in the middle of the city. This, in turn, hinders my desire to learn land navigation, moving through the bush quietly, reloading ammunition, and other skills, let alone trigger time at the range. I can look forward to another year and a half of this before graduating.
