Just wanted to say hey!
Hey everyone!
I'm new here and I just thought I should say hey before I start posting. My name is SwampRat. I'm from Baltimore, MD but I go to college at St. Mary's. Our Outdoors club is basically a bunch of trailb*tches as you would say. We'd love to go more but we got time and money constraints. Our school gives us limited funding, as compared to our sister school University of MD at College Park which gets thousands of dollars. (We're not bitter at all...)
I am hoping to learn how to become a more weight conscious backpacker. I am starting to get into making my own gear. I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year! It's great to be here,
SwampRat

P.S. I apologize to the english teachers and professors here about my grammer and spelling. I'm only just now gettin' my edumacation on.

I can tell from that last comment that you must have been lurking about for a bit, LOL. Welcome from one of the resident English instructors. Confess, how'd you do in Freshman comp?

Freshman Comp.
Hi Pekka,
I got placed into Comp102, for sophmores. I am proud to say that I got an A in the class. My grammar was not the deciding factor. The class was based on Genetic and DNA Rights and Cloning. My arguing ability in my papers saved my hide. :) But I'm working on it!

Oooh, nice topic for Comp II, as we call it at my college. I've still got to pick the topic areas for my Comp II class that starts in three weeks.

Welcome SwampRat, I am a newbie here also. I had been lurking for a while before I posted. People here can help you with questions you may have. I know I have asked a few and have always gotten good responses.
