Cool dog! anyway, for great ventilation for those muggy evenings ( I live in Alabama, I know all about muggy weather) there arent many tents that do better than Tarptent. I have a cloudburst, and it is great for catching a breeze. However, single walled tents are not the best for extremely rainy wea...

Where in WV? I will be in Keyser in a few days, looks like a nice place for a hike!

I like the story. Moar please.

Seriously digging it, man. Keep up the great work!

Oh this is gonna be fun. Here is my joke entry while I pull a few things together.




If I am runnin, at least I can shoot back!

What yossarian said. I had one in .45, it was fun to shoot. Not too practical, no hicap mags, etc etc. I sold it eventually. But great fun to shoot!

I have one of the cheap ATI top folders on my 870 clone. It works pretty well actually. I bought it for the same reason - s I could have a more compact setup for the trunk/bug-out kit.

I have always liked the anti-hero stories. This is turning out to be one of the best! Keep up the good work!

I thought it kinda funny . Good April 1st prank! Then my post I was working on disappeared... argh Browser back button is your friend - works in IE and Firefox with this forum software. I use it all the time. Also, just FYI, long posts shouldn't be trusted to be typed out in the forum. Lots of fact...

Having played around with a number of different tent setups, I finally settled on a Henry Shires Tarptent. I have the Cloudburst, and just ordered the Double Rainbow. Super lightweight, bug free, not so amazingly good in the rain or heavy snow, but did I mention lightweight?

I have the NEF and like it a lot. The Mav is also a good gun, you wouldn't be disappointed with either one. Personally I prefer the 870 ergonomics just a tad more than the Mossberg setups, mostly the safety. I wish I had the money for a proper Remy, maybe next year. Until then, the NEF works for me.

This is an excellent thread - and seeing as how I am sitting in an airport right now, its something I spent a few minutes worrying about just last night! I had to check my pocket knife and multitool ( :evil: ) but got all the following in my carry-on bag, no questions asked: My EDC keychain with min...

Yep, after a particularly spooky, windy night in the Ozark N.F. just waiting for a tree to crash on my head, I take a good loooooong look at any potential campsite. Mostly by looking up. Lately I have been hiking parts of the Pinhoti trail in the Talledega N.F., and have completely given up on campi...

I only carry 2 liters of water in plain ol plastic bottles in my BoB, but I have lots of Potable Aqua tabs, and can boil as much as I want (wood stove ftw!) if I have the time. Of course, any decision about how much "ready" water to carry should reflect your environment - I live in the southeast: ev...

(SOLD PENDING FUNDS) hi guys. I have drank the 9mm kool-aid, and now I am dumping off what is left of my 45 ammo. Laugh if you will, my idiocy is your gain... Lot includes: 1 - 25count box Remington golden saber hpj -185grain JHP 1 - 50count box Winchester white-box 230gr JHP 1 - 100ct Winchester wh...

I would watch his show for the giggles, but when he was lost in the wilds of Northeast Alabama (???) and went caving without any preparations, then just hopped in an underground river, I lost it. My main reason for deeply disliking the guy is that he gives out bad information, and if some kid watche...

It is a nice pack. One of my hiking buddies uses one, and it looks like it holds up well. I like the multiple pockets more than on my Vaude pack, of course the Kelty is a little heavier I think for the same volume. And wow, that thing is, well, RED. A more sedate pack cover may be a good idea. Not a...

good questions! 1) The stuff in my pockets: Wallet with some tinfoil, a couple band-aids, Swisscard multitool thingy, Ducttape and single edged razor blade (and a little bit of wallet-stuff, like money and credit card). Keychain with firesteel and Nano flashlight (and some keys!). Streamlight Scorp...

I am still good for Feb 12-14. Dont let this affect your decision in any way, but that will be pretty much my last free weekend til mid-May.

Yeah, but if you never push yourself, how do you know your limits ?
I think you should always have doubt, that will keep you prepared !

Agreed. Also there is the whole safety in numbers issue. It wouldnt be like a solo hike into Denali or anything... (famous last words, yea I know)

I would let them pass without contact. 1)they are heavily armed. They may decide they would rather take what I have rather than trade. 2) They are in contact with the zombies. If I get involved, then I am in contact with the zombies. 3)if they have water, it means water is SOMEWHERE nearby. I'd take...

I would say my #1 is "natural disaster" - Although I could click on most of your choices, I think I gear myself more towards preparing for your run-of-the-mill natural disaster scenarios. Boring, I know. But it's how I roll.

welcome from N.Alabama! I passed thru your neck of the woods just a few days ago!
