ROTFLMAO!.........*Green-death*........Back in the 1970's, they were practically giving that stuff away. If you let it get warm, the next day it was pure skunk-juice. I remember (albeit not much)...

Hey, I wasn't trying to be funny so, ease up my tight-assed brother. I was simply taking all the talk of self protection to the extreme. Personally, I don't carry weapons unless, you want to call my...

This Rhode Islander will have a cigar in mouth and that tune blazing through the portable Bose unit, as I thin out the crackhead/thug population along America's hiking byways...................I will...

Petr,

You're from Detriot..................of course you should be concerned.

I just figured, if we fill the crack-head community and the homeless thugs full of headlines about hikers/campers...

Come on, I'm bustin balls................a bunch of friends and I got into a big talk about the girl that got killed by coyotes, that led to the usual bunch of horror stories about murders, rapes,...

With all this talk of wild animals attacking hikers and crime taking place, people shot, stabbed, robbed, etc.....I've finally decided, that being a lone hiker is very dangerous. I guess I could just...

If she had a pistol or at least some type of spray, she wouldn't have needed a big, bulky, first-aid kit. There needs to be some serious rethinking about protecting oneself when hiking alone. It's...

Man, all these stories about hikers being killed. I fully relize the percentage is small compared to the number of hikers but, it's almost gotten to the point, if you hike alone, such as I do, a...

Man, all this talk of snow, ice, and cold temps down south has this New England boy bummed out. I figured I'd start in early March and have a golden tan by April 1st. Seriously, all the southern...

Personally, I'm born and raised New England, I've seen more than my share of winter settings. I too, am thinking about a later start than first planned. I always thought the south had sunny, warm,...

Personally, I always thought chicken tasted like squirrel. :eek:...................Mmmmm, squirrel. KFS...tonight!

Good point, my friend................what are the laws regarding wild-eyed, starving, hunter/gathers, on the trail? Curling up in the fetal position, covering the head and neck?....or, fight back?
...

After about day four , (in survivial mode) all concept of laws and regulations go right out the window. Keeping oneself alive and comfortable is hard work. It's hard enough doing something like that...

The all consuming preoccupation of self preservation takes up a huge portion of ones day when attempting a survivial situation. The day you awaken to a massive rainstorm, it's cold, it's wet, you...

I also use the Jetboil and personally, I love that thing. I fully realize, it's alittle heavier than some of the other stoves but, when you need two cups of water boiled quickly, Jetboil does the...

T-Dubs,... Wow, there it is.................excellent article.

I've marked that site, it contains ALOT of great info......Thanks

Wow, thanks to all for the kind words about my photos. They were all taken at Arcadia state park, located here in the smallest state in the Union. My gallery contains a small sampling of the photos I...

Datadog licks his chops and heads out to lay by the mailbox.....waiting for Laurie to send him some test batches.

It's been a good day.

Laurie,

The Datadog has just volenteered to be your official taste-tester. You just send him a batch of anything you're making.......he'll try it and send you the data.

I feel it's the least...

Name: Datadog
Direction: Northbound
Estimated start date: Early March
Approach trail: ?
I've been dreaming about this for almost 35 years.......hope to see you all on the trail.

Hey, sorry guys...................the Datadog just needed to take a chill pill, I'm better now. I do, however, want to thank you for pointing that out. To be a scrappin pup, chained up in the...

Uh, Rhode Island............home of Brown University and Rhode Island school of Design. Two prestigious schools in a state smaller than a ranch in Texas (King Ranch).............Oh yeah, don't forget...

No, I started this thread simply wondering how one could fuel themselves with the most optimum "fuel" available. I considered everything from pack weight to production of waste, taste, and the human...

I think it's an excellent idea, but, not very practical.......the amount of finished product would not be worth the effort. Sticking with the dehydrated veggies and simply consuming a good...

Let's say, you've just hiked 12 miles. You stop for the night and set up camp........it's time to eat. You have two choices for dinner. Choice number one consists of two large tablets containing 100%...
