Guess I'll try and introduce myself here.
I'm 31, and have always had a general interest in just about all things outdoors. I suppose I never did have a chance, I was raised deep in the head of a "holler" in Southeastern Kentucky, just miles from a lake, and surrounded by trails of all types.
Growing up I spent as much time outside as I could, I thought TV and video games were boring, and still do. You could always find me riding my bicycle, walking a trail near the house, fishing at the lake, or just sitting out enjoying the fresh air. As I grew older I became more into ATVs and trail riding that way.
I'm also very interested in wilderness navigation, and GPS. As I grow older in head into more and more unfamiliar territory, it seems to become more and more important to learn. I've been teaching myself to read map and compass and navigate using only those. Of course, GPS makes that easier, but I feel like learning the basics is still very important since you never know when electronics will fail.
I actually found this site by viewing some Youtube videos on hiking with GPS. I thought they were some good videos and peaked my interest in checking this site out. I'm glad I found the place and it seems to have information on many things I'm interested in.
I guess that's about it.
