I was also wondering because you said "white man." And if you're white, thats kind of contradicting.

I have no problem about Native American ways. I don't practice what the Native Americans do. But, I'm out in the woods watching the wildlife, enjoying nature, practicing my survival skills, and hunting/fishing (when its legal; unless I'm in a survival situation) every day. I have 8 of the best friends I could ever ask for, and most of the time I do these things with them.Andno one I know thinks that doing thatis freakish. Why would they? Maybe the people at your school are just asses. BTW, I got lost for about 30 hours at my families property in Virginia. It was an awesome way to test my survival skills. I failed to make fire that night, and the mosquitos were killing me. But, I did manage to find asmall brook... I got water, and I tied my knife onto a long stick and killed a rabbit. I didn't actually stab it; I stunned it with the stick and THEN finished it off. [8D]

The last time, I intentionally got myself lost on my property. That time, I did manage to make fire, and I found alot of wild grapes and I caught a small trout. I wipped out some "man vs. wild" and blockaded the trout on both ends. and I chased it around until I finally just bashed it with a stick.
