    It is more proof that sometimes the heard needs to be culled by encouraging stupid behavior.

    After reading #74, it is quite obvious that the boy's bitter, self centered arrogance is only surpassed by his supreme ignorance and naivete. Trying to reason with him is no more productive than going out into a pasture and discussing philosophy with a stump.

    That kid was a know-it-all idiot. As others pointed out, he had NO experience in a variety of subjects.... And he tries to tell us how it "really is" .. Many of us who DO have these experiences.. It's too bad, a lot of members gave him some great advice... He is just too headstrong and stupid to even try to listen to it... His last post was ridiculous! GLAD to see he was banned!! It took far too long IMO.... But,hey, better late than never! ;-)

    He lives at home...can you imagine what his poor family has to put up with?
    On the other hand, one has to wonder how someone gets to be this way at 22.

    No job, no education... Living at home at 22. A real winner.
    Usually I wouldn't even bother replying to a thread like this one... Something about his posts really steamed me!
    He was either a GIANT A-HOLE or an expert troll!... Perhaps both!

    He's gone now. If he decides to try again, he will be gone again. Time to move along.......Nothing to see here.

    Id prolly still be living at home with my mom at 23, just because she was real sick, but she passed away when i was 19 and yah, its been and uphill and downhill and uphill spiral there for me. Good times, bad times, it happens. But, despite dropping out at 16 to take care of my mom, I got my GED, Im a CNA, CPR Certified, can build my own computer. I just wish I was motivated to go to school. If i knew as much real history as I do about cigs, beer and bands, id prolly have a bachelors or associates lol. Ill get there someday

    And someone said there wasn't much movement here. Thanks Mods for shuting him down, i know the guy took some jabs and did deserve them but he was out of line hiting below the belt on several posts. Dissillusioned about education and military and life in general It's a shame he wasn't interested in listening in what folks had to say he could of learned a lot.

    Be proud of me for managing not to become irate... I would like to see him sit in a deer stand from before sunrise till sunset for all of deer season... (One advantage of being home schooled is you get off for deer season...) I don't think he could survive that let alone multiple months in the woods...

    Perhaps he decided to ignore all advice, loaded up his 75 lbs of gear and had his mommy drive him on up to the Sierra to a trailhead. Perhaps he toted that load on into the "wilderness," found an outcropping of rock, made camp, and contemplated "being at one with Nature." Perhaps by now, his bones have been scattered by bears, mountain lions, foxes, and bobcats.

    Or perhaps, he's still in his basement, hunched over his keyboard, pounding out questions to other outdoor sites asking the same questions as his o.p. here.... and being just as sarcastic and holier-than-thou with those whose answers are about the same as here.

    You never know .......

    If it was me, I wouldn't pick a forest that sees lots of use like Sequoia or the others. I'd look for one less popular, one with a wilderness area. A wilderness area is great because not many people want to hike in and camp. Too much work. Park rangers don't frequent them as much. A permenant camp attracks attention. YOu need to forget a cave and build your own shelters. by moving around you get practice, and don't draw attention to yourself. A gun shot attracts attention, whether in season or not. I sure wouldn't kill out of season. I'd go when hunts are on for whatever it is you might want to hunt, especially small game you don't need to freeze to care for. I'd pick a forest with little water and that will lessen the people factor. I'd go for short camps first, test your own ability and gear, then make adjustments. I'd take stuff you can use in case your plans don't work out to well. Maybe get a game cart to pack your stuff in with. You can carry a nice thick pad to sleep on. I've found a good night's sleep is the key to survival comfort, all else will fall into place. Just don't get yourself in trouble with the law.
