Hi all,

Thanks for the information. The trees were definitely green; light green that is!

I had a great time as usual, crossing off another national park off my list. My traveling partner made...

Hi,

I am doing a 1 week trip to The Great Smoky Mountains in the first week of May. Any members nearby would know if the deciduous trees are green yet? I know it is spring flower season there now.

This debris hut shelter took me about 10 hours to make over 2 days to complete. I slept in it on the first night partially completed and it was no fun because of the mosquito problem without a door....

Bring baby powder to dry your feet.

I am a lazy kid living in New York City. But I do a weekly hike to the grocery store of about 6 miles. I have 3 routes to 2 stores and they are both about 3 miles one way. So 6 miles round trip and I...

The news story is fake.


Q. Are your news stories real?

A. No. Our stories are purely fictional. However they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to...

How about letting it dry first?

Life is pretty much getting better every year so far in my life. I expect the same in 3-5 years from now. I plan on leaving corporate and going self employed by that time. The only thing that's...

Twenty years sounds a mighty long time!

I got laid off in February from a computer programming job of 4 years and 8 months. Just shy of 5 years and pension vesting. My job went to a consulting...

Just wanted to give an update. I made it back to Maine again and decided to give this a shot. I got to Horserace Ponds and it was closed due to 'high water'. That was disappointing. And yeah, Golden...

Thanks. Honestly, I was just glad and a sense of relief that it worked. I might have said a 'YES!' on the inside. :)

I just wanted to share my experience with bow drill fire. This was my first time doing it. I just came back from a 5 day wilderness primitive skill class.

We used cedar for both spindle and board....

Very cool! Thanks for posting.

A couple of folks mentioned it here, rice is a filler. It fills you up so you won't feel hungry. Just like pasta, not meant to be eaten plain.

You can pick some up at the forest whenever you need them.

It pretty much rained all week starting Monday. Tropical rainstorm Nicole. This morning, I got up at 6am to close the windows and big puddle on the floor. :angry:

Cool! Except for the wildfire.

I am headed to Yellowstone National Park on the first week of October. It will be my first time there.

Opps. But I did make sure that I left nothing outside while I was in the National Forest because I was in bear country and they warn you about it.

Hunter, you're right about not having much time. One thing that I learned from this trip is that daylight is really limited! We get up at 9am and after a quick breakfast, leave camp at 10am. We...

Hello all. I've returned safely from my New England trip. Only sustained some light tanning... :) I had a wonderful time camping out for one week with some lady friends. It was definitely a lot more...
