But it's also like saying... If your woman doesn't know how to cook/prepare fish or game, you have a boyfriend.

I can fish, clean and cook them.  Have never been hunting or cleaned game, but can cut up a whole chicken in quick time.

Not sure how I would fare, but was a girl scout and scout leader, have camped out a lot with scouts, family and friends.  I think I would survive.

Yes you would, you have a much needed skill.

Hey Dori, I too was a girl scout for many years and an adult leader..... great organization until the Left gained control.....

I can fish and hunt...... and I make a mean venison steak!  I grew up watching my Dad gut our dear and helping to butcher it in the kitchen!  Camping was a natural part of our life.

Yeah, girl scouts went down the tubes when the feminists got in there.  As near as I can tell, the boy scouts seem to have been able to hold it together, at least the ones I see in my area.  They're really active and still do all the same things they used to.   
I tell people to check out the Heritage Girls and avoid the Girl Scouts. 

Camping was always a great family activity.  You could get away for three days or three weeks without spending a lot of money, and everyone seemed to enjoy it.   

What kid doesn't like to go camping??  My granddaughter LOVE to camp and hike..... great fun with Dad.

Too many kids today are totally unfamiliar with nature...... except what they see in animated programming.

Most kids love nature too. That's why it's so important for them to experience it. I remember as a little kid, some of our most fun adventures were catching tadpoles, fireflies, bugs and lizards.

You and I alike, but today's kids are being taught that they're damaging the ecosystem.

With agenda 21 though they will all be taken on eco-friendly aerial blimp trips across forest for a guided narrated tour of the wilds as all human population will be enclosed to specific urban areas. Of course if they ever were to enter the wilds on foot they would be incarcerated or sent to reeducation camps

You think that was a joke, but it wasn't that far off target.

There are places where you can only observe a "Rain Forest" from high overhead cable cars!  No joke!  They will not allow anyone to set foot into the forest.

I wonder how long the average leftist would live if he had to parachute into a rain forest and live only on what he could forage. My guess would be he'd starve to death just trying to get a cell-phone connection to his lawyer, to sue for free meals and a chauffeured ride to safety.

(Lib) "I need to find food and water, but the water is on the ground, and not coming from a faucet...
I see a bird just sitting quietly, maybe I can catch it and cook it? Wait, that's a spotted owl, they're endangered....
Wait, I'm endanger as well!!!.... Oh My God!!!.... what will I do?..... Wait, did I just invoke to the existence of God?
Oh Good God, what have I become?!!!...... Shit, now I stated God is good?
Forgive me Gaia, but I'm in a delusory state of hunger.

Please.....give direction, I beg of you..

Suddenly a booming voice rings out of no where.

I was raised "farm' girl.  Dad would hunt pheasant every season and fish year round. (Probably to get peace and quiet away from us kids.)  I remember every summer my Dad would butcher the old chickens for food.  Our job was to dunk them in the tubs of hot water and remove the feathers and pin feathers.  We had real chores that included feeding, gathering eggs and cleaning the chicken coop. 

I too was a brownie and then a girl scout.  I learned a lot from that group.  Eventually I became citified and those things were a distant memory until I met Solar.  Now my hands are back in the dirt and my feet walk mountains.  I love my life.

My wife was also a farm girl. I live in a farming county. One of the last jobs on this planet that I would ever do is clean a chicken coop or shovel out the milking stations. (*shudder*)

There are advantages to being "small".   Although my step brother and sisters (on occasion) had to help with the Spring clean up of the cow barn.  Alas I was not big enough to help with that job.
