I grew up in a part of America many put down, the Appalachian mtns. I remember as a kid, how my grand parents lived. Butchered a hog and calf every yr. Had an acre or 2 garden, had a milk cow (never got the hang of that), ate lots of home canned food, had their own griss mill, ate fresh laid eggs and bought very little from the store.
One of the worst things to ever happen was for the Fed guberment to come in and say oh you poor things, take this money. Now so many of them have forgotten how to do the above, its a shame. The government made them a welfare class and took their dignity. The bastards...

What about these pussified guys who can't restore an operating system on a crashed SATA disk and save the user's data files? Or who can't put new shoes on their horse?
Different technologies for different times...

The only horses that you find in New England are rode by women as a "girl" thing and taken care of by men as a hen pecked thing. Horses have caused the loss of more good LZ's then all the other reasons put together.
No cowboys in the northeast.

put a guy that shoes horses for a living in the ring with a guy that restores operating systems
95 times out of a 100 my money is on the guy that that shoes horses (SG is the exception)

I saw a job offer a few weeks ago that caught my eye. Unfortunately, I knew that not only was I too pussified to ever do it, but that probably the majority of men and women in this country could not do.
Here was the job description (paraphrased):
Ranch owner seeks pair of herders for New Mexico ranch. Job entails modern day cowboy duties, mainly herding 600-900 longhorn to various parts of 60,000 acre ranch plus national forest land nearby. Must possess excellent horse riding and livestock skills, be ready to camp in the field several nights at a time, carry a rifle for the occasional coyote, and be comfortable being alone in vast amounts of space. Knowledge of national forest grazing laws a plus.
Now that to me is a man's job, and one that I am entirely too pussified to perform.

 I only know about 50 ways to a kill a man with my bare hands 
Probably 10 ways to do it using his own t-shirt while booting Linux off a USB key

I say there is no definition for a Real Man, becase as soon as you start limiting what a man should or shouldn't do in his life through definition, it makes him less real. If a real man cares about all the silly definitions of what's manly, (or what's not) he's already half a man in my book.
Man's Work, Woman's Work; what a crock! A real man makes decisions on how he conducts his life using alot more complex factors than that. That's what being a man is about - using an adult rational mind to make decisions that will affect his life and those he cares for. Black and white depictions of what's manly or not is kid stuff.

So, does a real man make one trip hiking out to launch at Ascutney, or two? Stevie told me that it's one, but I've done that once, and I'd rather carry the glider and harness on separate trips, and run back in between.

At my age with my glider the goal is just to get it out there somehow someway.
Real men figure it out and go long
Ascutney is a real men flying site...not that pussified stes that those wimps from Southern Cal fly. Then they get to land a a nude beach with mostly men sunbathing

The REAL real men site in the northeast is Brace. Except that in the process of carrying your glider to launch, you may get offers of help from girls with paragliders...

real men bench back up so they don't have to land on blacks beach, or they land downwind so they don't have to land on blacks beach

Real men don't pluck their frigging eyebrows. Nor do they shave their chests. Pattern baldness is acceptable.

Real men sites? Now you're getting into the specifics of what makes for a pilot with an obvious set. To that competition I offer Walt's Point in the Owens Valley, a place a lot of otherwise brave pilots refuse to fly.
As for Black's Beach, well, there are motivations to not land there that transcend anything related to flying.
BTW, anyone who thinks cooking is women's work has apparently missed that the best cooks are generally men. House cleaning, on the other hand,...

I sincerely hope to someday develop the proper skills in order to be able to fly there. (Brace doesn't require anything special in the way of piloting skills -- it's H2 with a chaperone -- just a long hike in.)
