look at this part of the forum, very useful no doubt, but it also highlights another worrying thing, not all, but many of us (myself included) have become pickup consumers.

we have become focused not on getting out in field and learning ourselves, but having the next best "product", of giving ourselves not the rush of approaching in real life, but the rush of reading/listening/watching the next big product, in the vain naive hope it may automatically fix a problem we dont really have

i suggest choosing just one method for the next 6 months, and only referring to it, not reading or taking advice from any others (unless its advice from other people on this forum) Something like mystery method is good for its detail yet applicable method

rant over

Look at the Field Reports board and you'll see something else

That board is a lot more active than this board.
