"first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.

Re: Backpacking with 300 year old equipment....
I watch a lot of YouTube videos on historical re-enacting, it is a great way to learn just how our forefathers survived... I'm too old and spoiled by modern living now, I doubt I would last a day in the 17th or 18th century.

The Highland cleanse apparently drove a lot of Scots to America.

Re: Backpacking with 300 year old equipment....
I always figured that Highlander sounded pretty noble versus Lowlander, but after listening to a video by Thomas Sowell on the modern ghetto culture, and its language, culture, and origins actually being from white Europeans, I learned that the Scottish highlanders, not being on the lowland/coast where trade was happening, didn’t have to bother to learn language, or math, or civilized social skills, and mostly snuck across the border and pillaged English farms. I read a book called “The Steel Bonnets” that further elaborated on all that. A rough crowd indeed.Old Savage wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 11:42 am The Highland cleanse apparently drove a lot of Scots to America.

Read a number of sources on what transpired taking the lands in the Highlands.

I was looking into the origins of one of the old family names, i.e. Rutledge, and I ended up reading about the merciless "Border Rievers" along the borders of Scotland and England. None would have been accused of being a gentleman!
