I'm thinkin' of trying something new. I'd like to start a forum or blog of my own dealin' with the post war era and the outdoors. There is a wealth of material and knowledge available about hunting and fishing, and camp life following the second great war. I cannot tell you how much material that is still available here in Maine. It would be nice to preserve it, before it is lost. Much is still affordable...and just becoming collectible ~ but to a limited audience. There are a few older Maine guides that still can contribute, folks that ran trap lines for income, woodsmen that made their livelihood's off the cuts...

Been a pipedream of mine. And I'm seeking advise as to how to best pursue it.

I know nothing at all about the computer web stuff how to start up a site or cost. I do like the idea though. Now days the average young people seem to know zip about our older values and history. Anything to keep it in mind will be benificial.
 
Merril,

It's about no politics....just the way things were when we were huntin' and fishin' back in the day. Camp lore...huntin' lore...trappin' and tale tales. The stuff that we'd of past onto the next generations if Nintendo didn't come along....:)

I've amassed a good start of material. I just don't know about how to organize it. I can set up a woods camp from about the 40's to 50's. Figure out the period gear, and hunt and fish in the era... I'm wonderin' if the interest is there.
 
I would be interested. Have a number of old books on camping, hunting and fishing from the 1920's through the 1950's. Its a fascinating subject and lots of folks should be interested.

It would be nice to start a subject off that left modern days where they belonged. Imagine the internet in the 1950's without all the drama of today's time...
 
Merril,

It'd be nice to skip the last 40 or so years....wouldn't it?

Huntin', Fishin, and Woodscraft....all the other BS left behind...

I turned 69 about 3 days ago. I was lucky to be brought up in wisconsin by a large hunting and fishing family. I also had a couple of years of forestry and conservation schooling, and worked three years at it for the national park service and wisconsin conservation dept. (Yosemite & The grand tetons.) Should probley have stayed with it, but drifted out of it.

Giz, I really don't have any advise on "how" to pursue this endeavor.............but, from following your postings on this forum and several others, I know you have a lot enthusiasm and knowledge about this subject. I hope you will follow your dream and start a forum/blog. I for one would be interested in the history you would provide as well and your own thoughts on these subjects.

As a youngin', I would have nothing to contribute, but I would love to peruse a site like that. I say go for it, Giz.
 
preservation of knowledge is always a noble idea. good luck with the endeavor.
