If somebody wants to go and overwinter or out into the wilds - fine. If they ask for recommendations and don't like what they hear - fine. If ten people respond and give varying degrees of useful information - fine. If they're nose is going to get all bent out of shape because they didn't like what they heard - fine. If you don't like the answer, don't ask the question.
Actually, take a tomahawk. I hear that they appreciate using yours to scalp you instead of having to get blood on theirs.
Good advice
Some of us know full well the rigors of winter,forget what you know and look atQuote:

When it snowed about 8 times in the mountains of Afghanistan. I was the Numpty and said
It snows here in the mountains?? Well 3 ft later and waste deep snow I felt the power of weather, also seeing our mud hut getting swallowed with slush and being destroyed. By winters break we had a 10ft high by 3 feet wide washed out door that was not there in the beginning.
I felt the winter chill all night for a long time. Months actually, sometimes I would wonder if I would ever feel the tip of my nose again.
Thank god for gortex. I hear Rick actually takes the credit... haha
I built a brick stove and used dead wood and bushes to keep the other wood dry. Talk about a pain.
Not me. Two of my buddies Gore and Tex get the credit for that. But since I'm Minister of Science I get a percentage.
erunk, being in florida you must feel the pain of most of these hurricanes. My question is how do you do it man!
I travel around. florida is where i forget my frozen toes until the next time. and the hurricanes? a wind blown rain excites me

Let's it hereby be known to all that I neither disparage nor make fun of women. Further, let it be known, that I shun all who would even think about disparaging or making fun of women.
How'd I do, girls?
thats right . women are better at doing just about everything. ask my wife!
You did well Rick.Quote:

Will the trails handle my Winnebago?(DISCLAIMER: I don't really have a Winnebago. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't use one if I got it.) How about Lumbago? There's a couple of guys in Manitoba who might hook up with you!:rolleyes: Here's an idea for a newspaper ad: CALLING ALL NUMPTYS! Are you totally in love with Bear Grylls, Les Stroud, or the "Twinkie Man"? Do you like taking on the great outdoors with only half of your wits? How about hooking up with someone who's actually done it? True, I could be a serial killer or a pediphile for all you know,:eek: but hey, life's a crap-shoot, right?:D Don't hesitate, call 1-800-UBA-FOOL!:rolleyes:Quote:

Klkak - I sooooo wanted to read that link. Not opening for me.
Sorry it wouldn't open for you. It's the Utah regs on hunting wild turkey.
Crash, Try the link now it should work.
Oh yeah, there was a turkey in Utah alright, & now he's joined this forum!:eek:
...don't think I'd wanna go on that kind of trip...there seems to be more adventure & better pay being a security guard in a shopping mall....:D
