You might spend too much time in the bush if:

When you reach in your pocket for your wallet and pull out birch bark

When someone strikes a firesteel with the cutting edge of a knife and you cringe

when you use bacon grease as chap stick

when you have a pair of "Good Socks"

when you leave the house with inuit sunglasses on

when you have considered shaving with your axe

When you prefer your beans and coffee with ashes in them

when ever your friends or family gets a cut they look at you in horror as you come after them with a handfull of chewed up vegitation

when girls call you Tarzan

Good socks, that brings up an issue we had here the other day. I was putting on my 'good socks' and then I get the comment that they have some kind of funny odor. I couldn't smell anything and told her 'never mind any smell, at least they still don't have any holes':confused:
 
When you have to pull your car over to get a flashlight/knife/lighter etc. off your keychain for someone.

You need to open 20 cans for chili and can do it faster with your sak farmer.

You pick something off a plant and eat it while walking down the street.

You wash some clean clothes because you are out of drier lint.

I love this thread. I am giggles.

Naw, I'm nodding because I know I've done most of them myself and even understand how something would end up that way. Heck, I would even deliberately work heavily around a camp fire the day before I leave (if not the whole time) just so I can bring home my smoked clothes to leave tucked in a corner and let it perfume my bedroom/house.
 
You relate to wood smoke like a wine expert does to wine. You can pair specific foods to campfires burning various woods. You can ID what wood is on the fire while wearing a blindfold. You can describe wood smoke in terms like 'hints of Sir Walter Raleigh' and 'chocolatey' and 'back notes of a tamarack bog'. Come on, can I get a witness?
 
I miss this thread, I bought another axe toady:

You own 3 axes, 2 hatchets, 2 bow saws, a Stihl chainsaw and half a dozen folding pruning saws but you dont own a tree.

If your friends see you using an obsidian knife----and don't consider the practice out of the ordinary.

You might spend to much time outside if when you are home you would rather go outside to piss in the backyard, even if the bathroom is available. I live in the country so there are not neighbor issues to factor in.
 
When you go weeks without using a porcelain toilet, and don't mind a bit.

When you routinely drive around with several axes in the trunk of the car.
 
When you can start a fire with a flint and steel but you can't get your microwave display to stop flashing 8888.
