Welcome back! Didn't you used to live over on the East Coast? :cool2:

So how you been? Long time no see. Did you Move? I was wondering what had happened to you. :cool2:

This is a pretty old thread with quite a story behind it! The two guys didn't do very well & had to quit half way through; they came home wet, cold & hungry. We have it up as a warning for all the...

Hi Neondog! for the correct spelling & understanding of the term "Numpty", please hike over to my blog, located here. Oh, and BTW, Welcome! :cool2:

I wonder if this is the book that started TBWN in the 1st place?

I throw all of my regular stuff into the pack, toss the pack into a fully loaded R.V. & I'm good! :innocent:

1st, you're talkin' ancient history here. 2nd, why don't you hike on over to the "intro" section & tell us about yourself?:cool2:

When out backpacking without the cameras, Les Stroud has Cappacino!:)

D.A., these are calm questions: Why do you think that I have to live up to your expectations? Why do you believe that you are the authority on how people should react? For the record, earlier I...

I think this guy might be a Troll playing us with his "stupid proposition" to see how we'll respond. Notice that he has no "intro" but does have info posted on his personal profile page. As long as...

1st it's considered rude NOT to introduce yourself 1st BEFORE posting.

2nd, this thread is NOT the place to list all the gear YOU would bring but to reveal how foolish some people can be when they...

Your posts are sounding like Spam and you sound like a Troll! Please quit playing around & follow the rules which, BTW, include properly introducing yourself on the "intro" page or risk getting...

I guess I'll have to change that to "novice" then, huh?:rolleyes:

I think you're a bright young man. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading this last post, it shows me that you're not a "Numpty", but a novice. If it were me I'd take Crashdive's advice and...

I'm reserving any answer until yo reveal if you're a "Numpty", Nimrod", or serious student. Your answers will tell.:cool:

No, "Nimrod" is a "Tenderfoot", "NUMPTY" is "UK" for "Idiot!":eek:

Yes, we all know about 550 cord, it's been covered extensively. Also, I agree with your assessment about "knowledge & a keen wit"; but what has all this to do with what I just posted?:confused:

Well, the movie "Into the Wild" was released on DVD this week and I just watched it, great movie and very true to the book. Sean Penn wrote the screenplay and directed. Christopher McCandless, aka...

What you're saying has been my view from the start, WW. The reason I lumped this whole thing together was for the following reasons:
1.) To show others that most members here are not impressed...

The thing that really got me riled was that they came on here asking for input, then didn't like the input they got. My take on that was that our advice didn't help "Pump up" the image they had of...

Last I heard they had to give up after 13 days and came home very wet & hungry. Somebody said they haven't been doing any updating on their web-site. I'm just glad they made it home alive!:cool:

The sad thing is that they totally REFUSED to answer any questions about what would they do if tradgedy struck except to say "We don't PLAN on failing". My thinking was "then why come here and asks...

Here's the thread that started it all. I wasn't the Mod back then so I was a bit more abrasive!
