And note I said "agressive dogs" not "pit bulls" though in my experience the latter always fits the former...
Just yesterday on a trail here, a smallish woman was walking her pitbull, it charged at my shy little beagle trying to bite her.
The pitbull's owner was helplessly knocked over and dragged by her...

I have a 600 and use tin-foil for a lid, with a "gram weenie pro" alcohol stove. works good enough for me.

"Everyone has heard of the mass extinctions of species taking place across the world, especially in the rainforests. But few are aware of the history of extinctions here in Southern Appalachia. Among...
Kudzu looks like a bigger version of poison ivy and that **** really will spread everywhere
I know stretching few times through the day makes a huge difference for me. Maybe if more hikers stretched they wouldn't need to take "Vitamin I" so regularly...

They call water the universal solvent. I know what you mean though. Probably not safe.
Don't really see why you'd wanna do that...
Folding knives with non-locking blades will really **** you up when the blade folds onto your hand. Make sure your folder has a good lock.
***** dupont. sticks work.
JAK I like wool sweaters too but i often choose my micropuff pullover for its windproof qualities, rather than doing the sweater-windshirt combo. maybe just since my micropuff looks better than my...
I've learned that while I was able to train my family's beagle to be very obedient off leash when hiking and on walks, I'll never get her to stop begging. I blame my mom for slipping her treats under...
the whole point of primitive tools like a fire piston is that you can make them yourself
I keep my pack light and have never asked some cannonball-carrier to lend me gear or give me food. I don't believe y'all about ULers begging for stuff, but if you speak the truth then those guys are...
