If you have ever wondered what other people think of you and your hobby, this is most likely a good illustration:D:D:D

No, no - he didn't mean that ;), he just meant that normally the people who want to believe they themselves are normal are in actuality abnormal because they continually psycho-analyze everyone -to make sure they stay in the social groove and are not perceived as ab-normal.
Often anyone who does not act closely,or exactly like the "normal" person, or what the normal person accepts as normal based on their Iso centric viewpoint of the world, is dubbed abnormal or as my daughter says a "Weirdie". (I love that term BTW - can't help but smirk everytime she says it :)

I for one am utterly abnormal as far as comparing myself with the others I know, so I wonder if in reality that makes me normal - and I just don't want to admit it :D


Yep - I'm full of it - I love being the continuous thorn to normality.

TGIF!:D:D:D:D:D

I agree. As far as I'm concerned, we're the normal ones. The rest are socially supported, technology dependent, freaks of human nature.
 
Hahaha! Wow, this guy is... Well, he reminds me of my brother-in-law.

Ok .... the online dictionary defines normal as :

conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.

All I can say is life is short .... I'll do what I want to !

Just don't hurt anyone :D
 
My favorite spoof is the "Craig versus wild" ..I need a link, but man those were funny.
 
my neighbors definatly dont precieve me as normal but what would you expect somone to think of you if you were a long haired, axe weilding, knife bearing, teenager throwing tomahawks at stumps and rubbing sticks together to get fire. and all of this in the middle of suberbia. :D

Well that's why we come here, to learn all sorts of useful information that is so vital to survive nuclear zombie attacks :thumbup:
 
I live in the northwest part of the country in the sub urbs. I personally think that folks in the burbs and the city view us as the doomsday future Timothy Mcveigh type. I'm a professional by day I wear suits and tie to work,drive a prius you get the picture. I don't go around advertising the knowledge that I have people give you one of those I see looks. My reasons for learning survival skills are my own, and its a personal journey. I've taken survival courses from those who have been there done that and learned from bad experiences. You will be amazed to see the type of folks who attend these courses, they range from redeck kkk members to cnn news anchor.
 
I don't know how I'm recognized among climbers, maybe average,
sometimes stupid to leave an essential equipment at home.
People other than climbers may think I'm a kind of crazy kamikaze.
 
Normal is a question of balance. Tried it once and really didn't function well at all, so I went back to abnormal ( I guess ). And besides, who's to say the guy who defined it in the dictionary has it right to begin with. I, like the fellow above, live in the burb's, don't bother a soul, but deeply appreciate the survival abilities I was taught as a boy, developed them more as I grew older. My reasons for holding on to them are purely personal, I don't flash them, and am reassured my family deeply appreciates my capabilities to make do without having to run out and buy the next latest gadget on the market.
