    I think that's true, you just need to add bolt cutters and/or a banjo and you can go whereever that thing tells you to go:)

    Safely transporting propane

    What am I doing to give back?

    In central PA there really isn't any need for 4x4s in a search and rescue sense. Lost persons are ususally seached for by quads. We haven't had extreme weather for a good while, but back in 93 we had a blizzard that dropped 3 plus feet of snow and paralyzed the state for 2-3 days. I was...

    COOLers

    I throw in my recent experience with the Coleman Steel belted 54 quart. I spent 5 days in 80-90F heat in WV last month. I used 2 bags of ice perday, it was mostly water after 6-8 hours. I was a dissapointed in the performance. Others with the "extreme" style coolers faired much better in the...

    Bear proofing on vehicle-based expeditions?

    All this talk of bears is making me hungry, I recently had a bear noodle stew with celery and carrots that was to die for.:chowtime: I'm sorry, but any bear that breaks into an occupied cabin/residence or bites someone on the leg needs a bullet. I know we are in "their" habitat but you can't...

    Survival Sack: When things go bad...

    I'd add cash to any list, it can't buy love, but you don't need love when you stuck, broke or hurt.:) I always try to carry a couple hundred bucks when I wander far from home. I use plastic when ever I can and keep the cash in reserve.

    Dutch Oven cooking

    How are you making out with the notes? I inherited an iron DO but have not used it. I'm picturing sitting it in a bed of coals and placing a shovel full of coals on top, but how long? How bout for cooking raw beef cubes and potatoes/carrots?

    Like this, Thanks for the pics Chris, they turned out great. I can't wait to show Nicole and Kayley the water fall pics, they will be jealous! As far as the pyrotechnics go, they were very safe and controled, and with time my doctor thinks everything will heal quite nicely, ...what is that...

    No, I never eat my friends:) The trip was a huge success. Everyone on the trip was top shelf. Couldn't have been better. Kudos to Chris for all the planning and logistics. The wheel'n was great, the scenery better. Mark and Beth took camp cooking to a new level for me, moose steaks cooked...

    Chris, I love the randomizer, but you need to write a patch to exclude 9:shakin: I think we both have too much time on our hands. :) And what kind of evil person posts a trip 7 months in advance?? Anticipation is killing me.:chowtime:
