So do I, depending on who it is. There are certainly kilt-wearers that I do NOT want to see upskirt!Originally Posted by Dogtra
I rather enjoyed hiking behind them, actually.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish.
Great idea. I've always put a return address label on my electronics just in case the honest guy finds my lost stuff. Maybe a strip of clear packing tape over it to waterproof.

If you have multiple tents and children, always check that the poles and fly's are correct for that tent before going on a multi day hike.
Every hike is easy when sitting in the living room.
Don't pee into the wind.
Never wear your pack while squatting for number 2's.
Never take labels off tins as part of your wt saving plan.
The best way to find the misplaced equipment is to stop looking and order another. You will find the missing one shortly after the new one is broken in.
Never try to save wt by taking the absolute minimum of toilet paper.
Never dig a cat hole in the perfect location with your hands!
To ensure it rains during a dry period don't take a raincoat and/or tent.
Never trust the person that says "It's only a little bit further".

He was posing fer ya TiPi...Snake experts say snakes can be out at temps from 40F and higher. This is strange as a cool snap always seems to discourage the things. BTW, here's a neato black racer (I think) I saw on the Big Stack Gap trail near the BMT---
I was lucky enough to have have Another Kevin teach me how to use these on our three day off trail bushwack in the Catskills. It's amazing how useful those beads can be, also taught me that my stride was shorter than I thought it was.

This post musta been a big shin dig...
Yes, and I do on occasion play the flute . . . . and he thinks he's a cobra.
They do come in handy, I usually have a set on me if in the woods.
I knew you were talkin' to him,
When giving advice, remember that not everyone enjoys the same weather and environment that you do. For instance the old adage "cotton kills" isn't true when hiking in a tropical environment.
Moleskin in your first aid kit is a lot like a plunger in your bathroom; buy it before you need it.
Masons twine is a cheap, lightweight, packable way to hang a bear bag. It also slides over branches crazy easy. Just be careful how you pack it; it can get knotted easily.
Hey..."Rocket"....This is mostly a joke....
If you use some wet wipes and maybe some baby powder u can survive..........
There are wonders out there, now to find them.
I'll add that they make a few different types of mason's twine, I found that the braided mason twine works much better for this than the twisted mason's twine.

Cotton balls in vaseline for a fire starter. Works a treat on the wet days.

Yes you doing some serious Navigation if running some Ranger Beads. Most folks I've run cross can't find the way to hardball 20 yards out.
When I did recondo school we just tied a knot in paracord. Are the beads just a new concept to confuse someone who hasn't slept in 3 days? But wait Uncle Bernie ain't that slick.
