    Please excuse me. I'm going to make an effort to correct your post so that I can understand what you are trying to say.

    Here goes: Who would like to join me? Lets go prospecting, fossil hunting, fishing and survival camping. Must be easy to get along with and have a car, truck or something. I have a sluice box and some pans. Maybe we'll get lucky.

    Hmm, lets see here.

    I have transportation.

    I have a sluice box.

    I have gold pans.

    I have place's to go prospecting, fossil hunting, fishing and camping.

    Would I like you to join me. Do I really need to answer this or can you figure it out?

    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    I don't know - seems like the Numpty thread is the ideal place for them.

    Cool Hmmm.....

    I think this guy might be a Troll playing us with his "stupid proposition" to see how we'll respond. Notice that he has no "intro" but does have info posted on his personal profile page. As long as he doesn't go to far I'm just going to edit the e-mail address until he puts it in his signature.

    Wow, Sarge, what a constructive way of telling someone you think they're making a mistake.....

    D.A., these are calm questions: Why do you think that I have to live up to your expectations? Why do you believe that you are the authority on how people should react? For the record, earlier I was trying to ask these guys some direct questions & was being ignored, then I visited their web-site & that's the reason for the post. You've taken it out of context. Read on & you'll find many of us were upset with these guys. Be carefull that you don't wind up in the same place.

    The kicker is what ended up happening to these guys. A ton of people on this site said so before...afterwards it basically turned out to be an "I told you so" situation.

    Experience wins out everytime.

    Adrian still stops in from time to time. He doesn't post, but I think he misses us.

    I have a load of survival gear at the house just incase things get bad and I have to head for the hills. But,I will need my 4x4 to pack it with.I know that if I need to go where the 4x4 won't go,then I have to eliminate alot of gear and take only what I need that will fit my daypack. Also I'll have to decide which rifle to take with me.I'm leaning towards my Marlin .35cal levergun with about four boxes of ammo. I'm wondering if I should bother taking my Starbucks frequent purchase card?
    I'd rather be camping.

    Let you conscience be your guide but you never know what's over the next ridge. A Frappuccino Blended Creme goes pretty good after a life altering 3 hour hike.

    The 35lb deal kinda limits me.
    Wool blanket, tarp, 550 cord, superglue, duct tape, snare wire, canteen and cup, mess kit, Kabar, double bit axe, book "How to stay alive in the woods", lots of good info there. I'd probably bring my S&W model 29, .44 mag, 8 3/8 barrel but I think it alone exceeds 35lbs, least if feels that way after toting it for a while.....
