Based on a short post he made on another forum it appears that Kute has decided to abandon this forum.
He feels another member here was attacked unfairly by not only some of the other members but also a couple of the mods.
While he can certainly hold his own in any discusion the impression I got from him was that he felt that the whole concept of free speech had been lost here.

Last I heard he was hiking the High Sierra Route , nobody has heard nor seen him since. Seems he may have underestimated the commie state! MtnHtr That's pretty funny, I just read an article in the latest Backpacker magazine on that route. It's pretty sick.. I too, wish Kutenay would return to the backpacking forum. While very opinionated, he's got a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

I guess opinionated would be understated but he has shared many helpful and informative posts. Surely hope he returns to share more campfires.

I hope he comes back too! John

Ain't that the truth! LoL His outspoken style coupled with unique views on world events has resulted in his being booted for various periods of time from many forums including the one I run. I do think however the only forum where he is currently banned is GunNutz. While he and I have a few differences in opinions - that may be an understatement - we have agreed to disagree on these for the most part. With that said I do appreciate his vast knowledge on many-many subjects and I also find it very hard to not like the old bugger.

Kutenay has two characteristics that I respect. He seems to be a decent human being, and he is always interesting.
I may disagree with him more than I agree with him, but that matters not at all. And I'm glad the Campfire has a big enough tent to fit all of us into.
Hope he returns soon.

Yepper, two posts "edited for racism". I have no idea as to the content, certainly what was left of those posts and the other posts of his around that didn't sound any different than usual. I ain't gonna second-guess the moderators but I'd expect that having yer posts edited on moral grounds would get any of us PO'd right quick, enough to hit the road. I hope he comes back, he'll be missed. OK, maybe not all that much by me personally  , but we're all grownups here, who wants an insipid forum? Birdwatcher

I know the posts that were edited used the same words that got Stick banned.

Pretty sure that Stick had a lot more knowledge that was of value to contribute....
Why pack all that messy meat out of the bush when we can just go to the grocery store where meat is made? Hell,if they sold antlers I would save so much money I could afford to go Dolphin fishing. Maybe even a baby seal safari.

Anybody can fill in as Kute: Packs: Mystery Ranch! Tents: Integral Designs! Sleeping Bags: Western Mountaineering! Tipis: Kifaru! Just don't list anything built offshore and it's a winner! (this is all in good fun, some folks just need to laugh more!) MtnHtr

Since I know him and would rate him as friend,I'm more than a little bias.He is outspoken but his opinions are pretty mainstream for the coming of age in the '60s, Canadian babyboomers. Mine included.This is a Yankee forum,so I will end it there.

Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.
