I often feel like I could go live in a cave (though my wife would prefer it be a cabin) in the deep mountains with a stockpile of supplies and my wife and kids with me, and n very see another person again, and be perfectly content for the rest of my life. I crave solitude except for my family and thehe wild,and don't get nearly enough of either to feed my soul.

I bet after 3 weeks you would be missing T man and would be coming back to your old way of life. And after 2 weeks your kids and the wife would have already left.

That supports my idea that humans need social interaction. Your children will never find their families (spouses) in isolation.

I noticed I don't fit in with the" in" crowd on trapperman.

I don't either, for different reasons than yourself. If you are okay with that, then great. If you want to be part of the in crowd, ask yourself why?

"What I want is what is I've not got, but what I need is all around me." Dave Matthews

Far too many people confuse want with need.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

I'd like to think I fit in, and everyone else doesn't.

Never tried to fit in. Did my own thing and took care of the family. Still have plenty of friends just do my outdoor activities by myself for the most part. That alone time makes me feel whole

I like being alone on a trap line. Me and Creation. Me and God's critters.
I like other people, all colors, but struggle when they start cussing, drinking, gossiping, making crude jokes thinking they're funny.
We are made in God's Image, to fellowship with others, and most are a really, really cool to hang with!

O really? Tell me what that may be like

For over four years it has been about impossible for me to get around in the marshes fields and woods safely and I have ached to be out there alone and on my own. Now I am up and about a lot more and am really looking forward to my first trek out into the river bottoms with my dog and noone else.

I'm not sure if l fit into society or not but my dog and 2 mules like me. I'm a little suspect of the dog though.
Anyone up for a 3 hour tour.

All I know is I am perfectly normal. Not to sure about the rest of you.

Didn’t realize “fitting in” was a necessity in life. I do me. If folks like it great, if they don’t great. Don’t have many true friends, but those that are my friends know it for sure. And those that aren’t, well they know it too.
I played sports and always had a hot girlfriend. All my friends got sports cars for their first vehicles...I got a 4x4 truck, so guess who always wanted to go hunting/fishing with me, lol. I’ve always done my own thing and never really cared what others thought. I raised my kids to be/do the same. All anyone needs to please is themselves. If you’re happy, then your family will be happy with and around you.
I don’t have a clue if I “fit in” on here or how many have me on ignore. I enjoy the site and learn a lot. I may not get a lot of responses on a post or thread, but that doesn’t mean I don’t fit in or need to quit posting or even leave the site. I figure if I ever get banned I’ll know it was my time.

I am an absolute pleasure to be around (as far as I know anyway)

Would enjoy having a good yankee beer with you. Not that southern sfuff
