You know you are a W&SS member when.....!

When you strain your back and save the left-over prescription strength IBU for your survival kit..kits....
 
You only go to McDonalds when you're making fire straws.
 
yer a WS&S freak..........

When its easier to decide what to do with the remains of a loved one who died of old age, than trying to pick the knives to carry each day.

When you ask for free mousepads at your local computer store, to make sharpeners

When you spend the better part of the evening scraping fatwood into pill capsules

When you spend hours every night packing, unpacking, repacking, unpacking your fire kit or PSK, to achieve the perfect fit of each item

When you buy marine Stove Acohol by the case (4 liter x 4)

When you have tried to ignite various hand salves, boot dressings, bug dopes, all in an effort to expand the possibilities of flammable materials in case you need them in the woods.
 
When you steal your wife's fingernail polish remover because it's a good fire-starter. (One strike of the firesteel and you're blazin'.. :D )
 
You've gone to sleep with PJ's and a belt just so you can where you favorite blade to bed :D

When you lock you self in a cold dark shed to do flashlights reviews for you nuts.
even when you see a crap knife you have an urge to buy it.
watches, lights and rope is just as important to you as knives.
everything you own has a survival feature to it.
your the crazy person who people complain about at work.
this forum takes up way too much of you time.
If some thing did happen, you know people would come running to you.
you beg and beg you women to give up makup containers for fishing gear. :o
When you cut your self your first responese is to photograph it and show everyone here.
You use sasquatch huntings as an excuse to post pictures:D

i'm not sure i would want that.... the embarrassment alone of getting lost and the multiple pages of post incident critique would be trhe death of any WS&S freak :D:p
 
Reading through this thread, sadly, I realized that I never am a member of this forum..
except that I never read a newspaper but for a survival story of mountain/sea/desert accident.
 
My sides are splitting with laughing:D

You spend the 35 minutes in the dentists waiting room explaining to the random stranger why you like Alox scales so much on your SAK, and they're Happy to go get their tooth pulled:p

You keep the strong pain medication for your PSK and eat the horrible tooth pain because regular aspirin doesn't work.

You go for a day hike with your youngest kid and they come back having carved a fishing spear with their small Mora.

When you go to the junkyard for a tire rim, you cut a bunch of vinyl upholstery to see if it really does make good moccasins.

You're in line at the drugstore and your wife says,"Remember you told me to remind you to get a new box of untreated condoms, because you shouldn't
drink out of the ones with stuff on them:o", now they always stare weirdly at me

Your sister always worries about what knife your going to give one of your nephews for a b-day/xmas/other present:)

Your kids fix all of their old and broken prescription glasses with crazy glue and duct tape for their PSK's.

You're replying to this thread and your kid asks what you are doing, since you're
giggling foolishly and and acting goofy(:>

You all are great:thumbup:

You've caught hell from your wife and daughter for trying to use their latest issue of Cosmo as a strop, because somebody posted that magazine cover ink has enough clay content to sharpen your blades

You've often wondered if you could in fact make a sling shot out of your underwear band...that is if you had to :D

"Honey, where is the nail polish remover, I've superglued my fingers together again...."

For some reason, your $400.00 in gortex rain gear seems less appealing than a $12 army poncho

You don't really like scandi grinds that much, but what the hell, you'll give it one more try, because you know you must be missing something !!!!

Sears Craftsman 1" x 42" belt sander is boomakred in firefox. Could a hint to your wife be any clearer than that?

You visit the Busse exchange forum every week or so. Not because you want to buy one, but it seems worth the effort to figure out what the hell those hogs keep talking about in their acronym lingo.

The dogs know its time for their walk when they see you strap your knife onto your belt.

You notice that there hasn't been a machete thread in something like two weeks. Where the heck is Pict anyway????

On your trip to Honduras, you visited a hardware store, bought a machete. Negotiated with the shopkeeper in broken Spanish to lower the price to allow you to buy the leather sheath alone without the machete. You feel pleased, because in buying just the sheath you saved $0.50 USD off the asking price. All this because you have carry-on and can't bring the machete itself on the airplane with you. Then you look like an idiot in the airport, not wanting to fold an 18" leather sheath, you have it tied to your computer bag (with jute twine of course). El Ranchero indeed!
 
You get home from work and see that UPS, FedEx, or USPS has dropped off a package and the wife says,"What kind of knife or pack have you ordered this time???"

You have a pile of Backwoodsman and Tactical knives mags in the bathroom !!!

:eek:

Here, sir, we part company. I treat my Backwoodsman, Wilderness Way, Primitive Archer, and the Bulletin of Primitive Technology mags with much more respect than that. :)

taking out the trash is at least 4th down the list of uses for garbage bags

The seat in my truck won't lean all the way back because of what the lady I carpool with calls my serial killer survivor kits,

The you know your a boyscout when group on facebook and wilderness survival merit badges influenced these

You get annoyed at the scout policy against fixed blades because it is obvious to you that fixed blades have many advantages over folders in the wilderness

You get angry because your scoutmasters wont let you practice building traps on your outing

you look at the list of materials they give you for your survival kit for the merit badge and you think, I can fit ten times as much stuff in this and find little ways to pack more and get rid of a lot of the supplies because you know they will be of little use
 
You are most definitely a W&SS freak when....

You are addicted to bladeforums, but apart from a few SAKs, own only fixed blade knives....
