Just curious, whats the dumbest or biggest thing you've carried while hiking?
Anything, like rocks, stuffed beavers or penguins are accepted as reasonable answers.
The more ridiculous the...
Went with the Scarp, I liked the ability to convert it to a double walled four season tent if he wants to. Seems like its a very versatile design, kinda wished that it was around when I was tent...
They are currently out of town at the office, and I was looking for a faster response, might try the guys at backcountrygear then
Looking to get my brother a tarptent for his wedding present. He has expressed interest in a light weight 2 person tent and I was wondering if the Scarpa would be a better tent for him than the...
You really shouldn't be worried about the cute smelly hiker girls, until they buy him a cheeseburger and beer in town, then all bets are off.
Moral of the story, beer + cheeseburger + saucy photo...

Filtering can be nice at smaller sketch water sources (cuts down on the floaties)
Are those designer shorts, the kind with the heated pockets?
Yeah, they're full of mouse traps
I bring zip offs and long johns. Usually I'll hike in shorts and turn them into pants at camp (maybe put on the long johns). Thats assuming that I get to my destination early enough to do more than...
Thats what poles are for, or toboggins (sp?) if'n you're lucky enough to have some snow
Really? I'm very condescending to idiots in real life and no one has moderated me, because the other people were being idiots. Sometimes its good to put someone in their place. Doing it all the time...
Which meant that people like me could tell you that you needed to carry at least 48 rolls of tp, a chain saw, 42 condoms (you know, to waterproof your pack), a 7200 CI bag, and a four season...
Nah, its just feral hogs that are the problem. I know that to some people here there is a close correlation between the two, but feral hogs are known for intelligence and procreation, thats how you...
I blame hunting season, back when I was hunting I wasn't on this site out all, I was out hiking and getting dinner. Just enjoying the good real life where I don't have to deal with internet...
Neither, just skip the shelters or heavily camped areas and you should be fine, sleep with your food or do the old pct style of bear bagging and you won't have to worry about the mini bears
I bet that I could get you with a bow over a booze plot :D
Yeah, someones got to feed WOW
What if I were to hike with a large corn snake, would that be better than rat traps?
This is, of course, assuming that I'd sleep in a shelter, which i did do once, because it was built in a very...
Our grain, they're always after our grain
True, but they are more of a vermin with respect to cattle barons, much like prairie dogs, and its easier for the average person to believe that his cattle is being killed by wolves and lions instead...

Really? I think that you really do need to get out more, and as someone who has drawn bear tags before with the intent of hunting them on the ground with a bow, and someone who has been...
I'm thinking in foul weather you could trap and cure some, maybe make a little smoke house and have some mouse jerky for the next few days.
Rats of course would be better, but then you'd need to...
For those who are looking for a quick mouse dish on the trail.

I prefer to go for the rats, nothing like some oatmeal and rat on a stick to start off the day.
