cooking forum?

[RustyNails]

i see all kinds of awsome forums on here but i never seen a cooking forum. I got the idea from tiny at mini bull design he talks about all kinds of cool backpacking cooking ideas.

All it takes is a small donation to become a Donating Member and you will have access to the 'Camp Kitchen' forum(and many others).

Well that is reason enough to become a donating member.

Tinny has some great videos of cooking. One of my favorite sites is MBD.

Yes indeedy....a very good reason to be a donating member...."Come over to the darkside and experience a different ride".

I wish there were a way to "peak" into the donating member section. I really have no interest in becoming a donating member...and then an interesting item like this comes up. I think it would encourage us to donate if we could see what we were missing out on.

I agree. Until I read this...

... I was under the impression that the only reasons to become a donating member was to turn off the ads and support your favorite forum.

I'm glad I stumbled on this thread and have just paid up. It'll keep me occupied this morning whilst I wait for the F1 Korean Grand Prix to actually start (or not).

I've seen references to the cooking forum as well and gave up on finding it. Maybe its a case of RTFM, but I haven't seen any indication of the benefits of being a donating member.

I run a few websites on lunarpages for friends and my DU chapter and the only out of pocket expenses are $9/mo for the main account + 28/yr for anonymous domain registration per site. So I have to ask myself, if they have advertisers, then why the need for donations?

[KerMegan]

Well, most of the ads I see are from forum members who have started a little cottage biz, to supply the perceived need, that was not a big enough market for the main camping mfg. to pursue. Also a chance for you to let the Mods know that you appreciate their work, and that you have learned something of value from using the site.

PS rob- look for 'Camp Kitchen'

Here are the extra forums seen by Donating Members.
I'm not at all familiar w/ the technical up keep of a site like this & the cost involved, but I do believe the requirement to access the Donating Members section has far more to do w/ keeping the main web site (as seen by all on the WWW) focused on our main goal, hammocks.
The willingness of a small donation from a HF member shows a little more commitment to the site & the well being of the community, & therefore allows them to venture into some of the "Off Topic" conversations.
But I'm quite sure it's not about the money. It's non profit (money wise) for members, moderators, administrators, & web site owners.
I'm sure one of the other mods can add more when they return.
