Hey now

Hey y'all. I'm Adam. I'm getting back into carnivorous plants after 13 year hiatus. So much has happened. I just got my first cp in over a decade last Sunday, a mystery nepenthes from my LGS, and bought what is supposed to be a N. Miranda (bought from Amazon, so we'll see).

About me personally, I actually used to be a member here but got out of the hobby and decided to find a forum. Turn out this place used to be my old stomping grounds, so to speak. I'm a veteran, one deployment in 2009-2010, a welder by trade, and a woodsman by heart. What's a woodsman? If you know what bushcraft is, it's that but it's the old-school name. For those that don't know, it's a set of any variety of skills from felling trees, to woods medicine, survival, hunting fishing etc.

In addition to CPs, I'm an avid gun enthusiast, hunter, traditional archery enthusiast, antique axe and tool enthusiast, knife maker and so much more.

Thank you for having me back!
 
Welcome back!! If you're interested in getting your old account back feel free to sent me a message, we could recover it and use your new name if you want. Otherwise, I am curious what your name was before, it you would like to share!
What a great set of hobbies! Do you sell knives or just make and collect them for yourself? Some very cool knife makers out there!!
 
Welcome back to the hobby. I am also back after a long hiatus! I have a really cool antique broad axe for hewing log beams. I don't remember where it's at currently though. Somewhere! 😅
Oh a broad axe is something I don't have in my collection! What a unique tool! If you ever find it again you ought to think about restoring it. I'd be happy to help out there.
 
:welcome: back! Funny how the carnivorous plant urge gets into your bones and brings you back, isn't it? What is the plant that you have?
A mystery nepenthes. My local store didn't have a name for it but I'm guessing ventricosa or alata. Maybe ventrata? I'll take a picture of the pitcher tonight.

BuddhistAdam was the old name and no, I've changed so much since then (18 years now) a new start seems fitting.

I've sold a few here and there and would love to have my own business selling and making knives but finding the time is difficult with all my other hobbies!
 
Here is some CP bushcraft you might enjoy:
