Jordan, Have you considered preserving your own food for trips? That way you can have the quality food you want without having to track it down in the field. Plus it will taste much better than anything from the store. I have a sulfite/sulfate allergy and that stuff lurks everywhere from...

I foresee a spectacular accident when what ever you are prying on gives way all at once and you hit some body part with the shovel end. I also don't see camping and carpentry as being a good mulit-tool combo.

:drool: Salmon and asparagus. :drool:

It all depends on the type of contemplating you want to do. Personally I like the "my mind is a spaceship" type of contemplation. I thought George DeWolfe's work was good. He uses a good mix of shadow, detail and color to take something we would just give a passing glance and draws our eye...

Filson's maybe?

I don't have any of those but if I may, I'll make a suggestion. I own a pair of Hi-Tec Intrepids that I am very happy with. I go through $125 and $25 shoes at the same rate (4 months or so), so I tend to buy cheap. They're $30 shoes, not water proof, they are very comfortable, and have good...

*SOLD!!!* :wings:

I'm kind of lukewarm on a diesel truck at the moment, I know if I were hauling a lot of stuff, I'd be all over it, but I hardly haul anything approaching a full load on this truck as it is. My old 4wd tercel got mileage in the high 20s to low 30s which would cut my fuel costs by more than half...

*UPDATE* Fixed turn signal switch. Location: Olympia, Washington $4500 obo Up for sale is the Silver Bullet, my 97 f-150 4x4. Its Silver with grey interior, super cab with 6.5 foot short bed. I'm the second owner, my parents practically threw it at me when I my arm healed enough for me to...

Well if you put them in the bed or give them access to it, make sure they are secured or you at least have a canopy. I watched someone's unsecured dog fly out into traffic at 60 mph a couple months ago and its a horrible and stupid way to lose your pet.

Leaving the skins on fruits and vegetables you eat will give you some extra nutrients, plus they taste pretty good too. I love to stir fry up some carrots with the skins on. When I worked in the woods I would snack throughout the day. If you're doing long duration exercise you should be...

http://www.seattlesportsco.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=33&idcategory=11 I swear by my seattle sports dry bags. They've stayed completely dry inside even when I've capsized my canoe. I take a small one backpacking so I can keep my clothes dry and it works great as a pillow too. I...

In the family I'm known for honey walnut prawns and grilled/bbq chicken. I snagged the prawns of the 'net, but the chicken is my own and so simple. I use breasts that are skinned and dredge them through chili powder, let sit for a bit, then grill/bbq. The chili powder will will form a nice...

Sweet, I can finally justify my fetish towards paper maps.

If your feet sweat, bring extra socks. IMO gortex, or any of the rain repellent gear, doesn't breath as well as cloth, but vs a leather boot I haven't noticed any difference, here in the PNW. If you're doing a full day of hiking you should have at least 2 pairs with you. Wear one until they...

Let me start this with this advice. If you have some cash ~$500 and up, get yourself some custom made boots (Kulien's, Whites, etc). They will fit better longer and should last longer because they are much better made than a mass produced product like a Georgia. I've worn Georgia's for...

Are you referring to the "You can't beat our meat" Owen's Meats in Cle Elum? I totally found them by accident, I forgot a lunch when I was getting a bunch of fruit and saw them and stopped. Their landjaegers are great, never tried their jerky though. And now I have to take back my comment on...

I learned to let someone else cook squid on a camping trip, the smell stays on your hands for a good day if you don't have ample water to wash with.

Landjaegers are the only sausage I buy in the store anymore and that is from my local(ish) butcher. The rest I make on my own for the same reasons as TeriAnn. I like breakfast sausage as a regular one, though I did devise a chanterelle sausage with some dried shrooms that I had. Pork picks up...

I love good fog/mist shots, the viewable area fading away to grey hints at how immense the land is and how small we are.
