Very nice wrap up post. I agree that the journey is as good as the destination. The actual season comes and goes in an anti- climatic way for me. It’ s fun thinking about the day I end this historic drought of my own too!

This thread is inspiring me to look further into the subject. I’ ve had the ” pleasure” of 2 or 3 kidney stones and I’m not sure what I’ d do if I was stricken even a mile or two from camp?

-13! My personal camping record was about that, maybe-15. Can’ t believe my parents let my friend and I even try it but those were the days. We were maybe 10 or 12 yrs old cheap cotton sleeping bags flashlight batts died and we were dumb enough to bring eggs for breakfast…I’ ll never forget throwing them at trees and getting a kick out of them bouncing off. Wally and the Beaver never had so much fun.

Sorry for the double post…..also I didn’t mean to imply flint is to steel as wood is to carbon. All are good materials in good hands.

It strikes me as a disconnect. I have never asked because I did not want to seem critical. I am very interested in the answers.:?:

I would say the same reason most of us don’ t chip our own flint heads or use hemp cordage, etc. “New” things come along that are convincing and practical substitutes.

I have the opinion that possibles bags are like the human appendix once was – useful. I don’t like the thing flapping around and things tend to get all jumbled around like a womans’ pocketbook. I carry as little as possible in cargo pockets.

Oh…and hey Wex…do you guys in Ireland ever find cool stuff over there in farm fields, etc.? Maybe a suit of rusty armor now and then:D?

Dave- that was Steve Grafs’ 8k yr old point. I could only be so lucky. My hometown has a Paleo period site (known as the Dedic site) I just plain fantasize about digging in…but rightfully left to the pro anthros. Finding a point is actually more exciting to me than tagging game!

Somehow I replied inside your quote up there! That cursor arrow on thesr phones can be an SOB to get in the right place.
