Hello - New here

Hello (I've said that twice now), my name is Daniel. This is my first time on a forum, apart from occasionally reading discussions without creating an account. I thought I'd start so I could meet others who share my interests, since I've never really met anyone who has in person. I remember distincly that no one in my class liked dinosaurs apart from me when I was at primary - absurd!

Anyway, as it says in my description, I'm very into history, with more of an inclination to the cultural side of it (art, music, fashion literature of the time). Ocassionally I will dismiss that, as I have with my obsession with polar exploration (mainly the 19th-20th century expeditions). Pemmican and driving sleds aren't exactly the finer things in life, but there's beauty in places. I'll stop rambling now, I'm excited about being on here  :-)

  • Hello and welcome!

    I am not into history at all, but I found a nice podcast (in German though) which is about historic events, always told with a real fun or unexpected story. Do you know about the 1925 Epidemic in Nome, Alaska? It's a really cool story including sleds!

    Never heard of pemmikan, but I see there is another episode on that as well, referenced in the episode about Nome (had to check for the year of that epidemic). So I guess I know what I will listen to now!

  • I hadn't known about that, thank you for sharing! I found some documentaries about it to watch later. Pemmican is interesting to learn about, especially how it preserves itself and how old the invention of it is (they think it may have first appeared 4-6 millennia ago).
