Those good old 80s fantasy movies are pure gold, also.

It has been a while that I have made a contribution of questionable usefulness/quality to the forum, so here I go: "Gold is for the mistress - silver for the maid - Copper for the craftsman cunning at his trade! "Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall, "But Iron - Cold Iron -...

In MBTI speak, intraverted thinking is my dominant function as well. Maybe that's why it appeals to us so much. The c...

But I mainly competed with myself, and I haven't participated in any events for a while. I still go running , cycli...

I've seen Dick Proennekes videos on youtube and the vice documentary on Heimo Korth a while ago. Both very nice to watch, imo, iirc.

2018 Goals: (...) Learn to properly swim For learning how to swim I can recommend Terry Laughlin’s “Total Immersion” method. It focuses on efficiency, balance and body alignment in the water.

I kind of like the name wolf and the things that are associated with it [/b]

Did you know that Adi liked to be called "Wolf", too, probably for the same reason?

I was blessed with a simple taste for music. Favourites of mine are Metallica's "Wherever I may roam (https://youtu.be/S5TnPjOd_To) Don't tread on me" (

Great info, thank you. Hey, how do you (or AK hunters in general) perceive entermanteries such as "Life below zero", AK - The last frontier", "Mountain Men" etc. (assuming you know them). Apart from the typical over dramatisation and that the producers seem to think the vie...
