That crawling out of the wilderness thing seems like a cool trick. DeCaprio did a decent job on that.

I've had bear and I'd have to be pretty hungry to do it again.

It's just experience. Synapses get jaded.

Seriously, though, running is the last thing you want to do (although it could come to that. Bears are not as slow as they look and they can (and will) track you for miles.

Wow, Rick, that was not a positive part of my childhood. I'm amazed I still have skin.

Anyone can grunt, sweak, and squawk with an animal. Take a bear...prelude to a show and meal...

Hey, Vincent understands me when I talk to him...when he wants to.

Yeah, but I'm (fanfare....and wait for it...) Primally Fit (datda!) I also sweat a lot and me feet and back hurt. Primal fitness is for the birds...

At 67, I'm lucky I can still make it to the the grocery store and back with a pack full of groceries.

Of course people at Worldometer knows where Alachua county is. The work they do is geographic statistics. They know geography.

Ah, just assume you are and go with it.

Who was it, Nietzsche? That said, "if you look into the fire, the fire looks back into you."

Great pictures. What you need to make it all perfect is some snow. We have plenty that we can send you !

Have you found the southern pole star yet?

Heh, yeah. Maybe David Allen Coe isn't the best survival reference in this instance.

It's not hard to do.

Well, if you know anything about viruses, there's a good chance that it /will/ never go away, like flu never went away. I've always been concerned about the political use of the epidemic, but I'm...

Only things I don't like about winter camping is when I first hit that cold sack and when I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

Yeah. Coloradoans go to the store to get what they need. But now about half of us are transplants so the stores empty when the weather services (who can't predict past two days here) says it's gonna...

Hmm...I thought "urban survival pack" was called "Walmart".

Eh, I walk to the store sometimes...

Eh, Colorado is heavy into renewable energy and it's a benefit to us.

Hey, I remember reading a story by Jack London about starting a fire in the snow...the guy died...

Now, I could get nostalgic. Kids used to get all kinds of cool stuff in chemistry sets before they (the chemistry sets, that is) got "safe". If it wasn't in the kit, I could get it at the drugstore...
