Hi user101, welcome to Outdoorking.

We have some members who go through a process of widening their skills and knowledge while they are here, and others who mostly just come here when they have a specific problem and need some help. All levels of expertise are welcome, so don't be concerned if you think you'll be listening rather than teaching, especially in the short term. The main thing we ask is that you think and act carefully so as not to get hurt, or cause anyone else to get hurt, when you use outdoor equipment. If you are uncertain how to do something, please ask, and if you don't understand the answers, say so.
