I am not sure of the specifics but would like to see if we could come up with something that would allow anyone to see more specific details of a poster. Examples would be location in regards to nearest facilities, portion of the year they actually reside there, heating methods, fuel usage, energy usage, means of income, background experience etc. It would of been extremely valuable for us to have access to that type of info when we first came to the bush. We have been trying for years to find people with similair lifestyles to ours but frankly there are a lot more people that talk about than do it. I know there are a lot more people out there with true year round bush lifestyles but they do not have the communication facilities we do. I just finished a book called the Final Frontiersman which is the story of Heimo Korth and his family that live NE of Fort Yuk and it is full of valuable information plus a very enjoyable read. My point is that this is the kind of info we are after and willing to share but it is very hard to find. One of the dangers of the internet is anyone can post anything and it would be nice to have a method to better qualify a posters experience level. I've always tried to qualify any of my posts on any forum with a honest experience level so the reader can make up his/her own mind as to what applies. Not saying I've seen anything posted here I doubt. Just saying that it might be something to consider in terms of having a more detailed profile or any other mechanism.
Would like to find a way to reach the other bush rats like outselves. Maybe its best done when we Spring Out once a year around breakup.
