The handle of my Hatchet is wraped with hanging twine. I also carry a roll of it in my pack.
I have my truck keys, chapstick, firekit, cell phone, pocket knife and whatever else I happened to have put in my pocket.
SAM, I fear I would be the poster child of what not to do. If I start out with the intention of a hike, I might grab some stuff. But the truth is most of the time I just have a cruising Axe or just some walkabout long gun. What happens is I start off taking a break from work, and tell myself I'll just go up to the meadow to check on the bears. But I see some tracks or I decide to "just" go over there, then it is, well as long as I am here I might just as well go on over and check out the mystic magic spring. Then as long as I am here I'll just loop around and go back through that other drainage.
I am like Huck'finn wandering around for hours. And I am shamed to say that 95% of the time I don't even have a pocket knife. No matches, no candy bar, just empty pockets. Not even a jacket if it is summer.
If I start out to go on a day-hike, which is generally a loop out the back door. Well, I take a light day-pack, or put some stuff in my pockets.
If I am guiding then I have 35 pounds of stuff in a external frame Kelty pack.
The thing I most often end up wishing that I had is dry socks and a big snickers bar.
It would be nice to have a cell phone. maybe when I get old I'll get a cell phone.
12-14" handle for the hatchet, 12" minimum, the man already knows the difference between an axe and a hatchet folks.
Pre-breakfast beer? whatever the temp is from the beer left over last night, watch out for floaties if they're open.
shooting & drinking beer? No man, that's what whiskey's for
now i don't believe in shooting while drinking, but if you put one down to do the other you can get a nice rhythm going.
I think the recoil assists in downing the whiskey. The larger the recoil the more liquor you down at one time. I think we've hit upon some kind of plan here. Anyone have a spare 105mm?
just as soon as i can build a big enough bore lathe...
/me goes off into the shop. *clink* *ting* *hammer-hammer*
well i had to use the motor from this shetland pony, but i've got a bore i'm confident will put away one quart of bath-tub jin per shell... i'm negitiating with the army right now for a contract on a machine gun who's gunner can put away 200 jello shots per min.
Ooohh. Jello shots. Mmmmm.
You've got a pig that drinks bath-tub gin???????Quote:

Hand it to the copilot, if he's not mixing drinks he needs something to do.Quote:

Now, to me that's a bit more of a puzzle, because I thought it was a trick question. Isn't the appropriate drink for flying either vodka or whiskey? Can of beer? Let's maintain some decorum people......Quote:

I think it must be some kind of rum drink...deco rum?
I believe you are right Trax. It must be a mixed drink what with all the turbulence in the Alaskan air. Don't even need a blender. Or was it the fact that my copilot just stuck himself in the leg while sharpening my knife?
Is Beo on that plane?
Beo oh boy, I don't know who it is sitting next to me, but he makes a pretty stiff drink. I'm not sure if I'm flying through the clouds or if my equilibrium just come unglued.
Actually, now that I've had time to think about it, my copilot is starting to look a lot like an old hatchet head. Is that you over there?
What does it mean when all those fancy lights and switches overhead start turning red and making noise, that spinny thing with the N S E W is pointing S and out the window I'm seeing palm trees? Trax, I thought we were in Alaska. Pour me another one will ya!
