    Default Running off to the woods?

    If you were going to run off to the woods, and going to squat on a Wilderness Survival Forum members property, where would you go, and what would happen when you get there? How well do you know our forum members?

    Well, I was personally planning on hanging a hammock on your porch. If you don't have a porch I suggest building one before I get there.

    I would run to Hunter's place, camp in his backyard, and walk in for breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, dinner and supper...hahah..

    Okay now back on to a more serious note...I can't be squatting of onto a members property cos ZI do not have the money unless Istimestar is gonna take me in..in Alaska...always wanted to go there...

    Actually, in all my jungle outings, I have identified two areas:-

    1. In the jungle of Ulu Mahang, Kedah..where I have found a spring and about 100 yards away, is a medium flowing stream about 12 feet wide.. They never seem to dry up in the dry season or a drought...
    This place also have a fair share of wildlife that is easy to trap , shoot or catch..such as jungle fowl( for both meat and eggs), squirrels, porcupines and other small animals.It also have bigger and larger animals for trapping or shooting such as the mouse deer, kijangs, deer, wild goats ( good milk these goats) and others.
    The stream here have Mahseers by the abundance, using bait of bannock colored yellow with tumeric is a sure bet of getting one on a hook.

    2. Ulu Yam Baru, in Selangor, near the Batu Dam.

    I have made simple temporary shelters at both sites. It was coming back from Ulu Yam Baru that I met with the recent accident. The shelters were well made even though temporary. The roofing was properly thatched, using woven palm leaves and is similar to the traditional house roof. The walls from thatched bamboo and a raised floor. I have a kitchen and installed a water catching and retention system. Water from the roof, goes into a lined with rocks, sand based well via two bamboo gutters.

    Both these huts are hammock ready as I can tied the hammocks to small trees beside the hut, each end of m hennesy hammock coming out of the hut's walls. The huts measures about 15 feet wide and 15 feet long, a square.

    I made the huts in Ulu Mahang initially and copied exactly in Ulu Yam...

    I'd go squat on Kyrat's porch while he told me all about things and history. I'd go camp under Crash's canoe till he took me out in it. I'd try to get Rick drunk because let's face it, that would just be plain ol' fun.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    If you come this way bring the fiddle. I'll side you on the guitar and we will build a fire in the wood stove on the back porch and play until someone calls the cops to make us quiet down.

    You can go spend the winters at Crash's place. It got cold here overnight.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Yep, fiddle goes with me every where. Tok, I would probably melt and just be an inconvenient puddle.

    You do realize that Krat's porch no longer has screens right? That's just uncivilized.

    It's a southern thing.

    Back in the old days, before AC was common, when the summer temps got so hot you could not seep inside folks would sleep on their back porch and the screen was to keep the mosquitoes off of you.

    Another old time survival action no one remembers.
