Here are our two dogs and our "grandpuppy" Wicket is the Jack Russell. Sookie (a/k/a "Sookie Blaze McDoom") is the black and tan smooth coat, and Finn, the ginger coat, is our grandpuppy. This was in the Tate's Hell state forest in Florida last winter. <Edit - Hope this worked. None of the...

The filler I bought says that it has a built in cutoff - and it does cut off. I don't know for sure how safe it is ultimately - I put a mark on the tanks I pick up and only refill them if: A) I can see it looks to be in really good shape (or I bought it new) and B) if I haven't refilled it more...

Yeah - I really should have read the offer more closely. My wife called it "cute" when i opened the box just now. Oh well; it's small enough to carry in the Disco as an emergency supply, and will fit in the tool box on my pickup.

DeLorme Atlas, sometimes printed larger scale Topo maps. Google earth, and since mid-August Gaia on my phone or tablet (if my tablet is working worth a crap at the time). I have an old Garmin hand-held GPS that will no longer update and a compass (know how to use both...) to figure out where I...

I'm kind of a kayak nut....well, I am a nut. We have a bunch of kayaks - for a bunch of reasons. and one canoe right now. All the kayaks are rotomolded, and probably will be for the foreseeable future. The canoe is a really old fiberglass one. Using 'hard' kayaks is why I don't pack stuff on...

Heh - I recycle the ones I find in the woods - came in handy last year when we were out of power for a week after the hurricane and I only had 1 20# propane tank with any propane in it at ALL (partly because I'd filled a bunch of 1# ones before the storm). I was giving them to friends and...

I seem to say this most of the time - depends on if I'm solo or with others. Solo - my knife/knives that happen to be my favorite at that moment and a long handled TI spoon someone gave me for Christmas about 4 years ago and a long handled lexan spoon from somewhere - REI or Amazon or maybe...

Not trying to hijack - but I definitely need a set of those levelers. Back on subject - if you can weld, a piece of tubing on each corner and corresponding tubes that fit in would be the ticket -- then use those levelers on them :)

now you started it - do people take their coffee ground, or do they have a press? If they have a press, which one? I'd like to say I'm so macho I grind my coffee with my pistol butt, but nah, I take a bag of good beans and grind enough before a given trip to last through. My preference for...

I expect he said that because of the amount of heat cast iron (or steel) can handle. Silicone spatulas are OK, but the plastic ones can melt and actually leave plastic in your cast iron (or on your steel pots). When it happens on enamel, it peels off, when it happens on telflon you've already...

I've read through James' comment a couple of times now, and bounced that idea off of a couple other people - I wouldn't have come up with it myself, as I'm thinking of a house rental where people really expect the house to be 'stocked'. The folks I talked to agreed with my change of mind - they...

Love that site - have been visiting it for a long time, but not lately. Thanks for the reminder about it!

I stick mine (along with my steel comal) in a canvas bag, but not because it's nasty - the bag is pretty well impregnated with cooking oil. I cook exclusively with cast iron frying/saute pans at home. They get wiped out after being scraped with a spatula. If there is too much gunk because I...

Can't figure out how to quote yet, but am basically following up on several other people's suggestions, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. Personally, I have some heavier duty stuff for when it's not just me - a 16" carbon steel comal (sort of like a discada or griddle), cast iron fry pan...

Welcome to GA :)

There's plenty of challenging terrain - I just don't know of multi-day trips that cover it - and it's not so much vertical rocky terrain as it is horizontal and wet (or deep sand). Water crossings, mud and sand can get particularly technical. And I wanna see your Zook - I have wanted to play...

I'm biased towards Frontiers, but that's a good looking truck! Going to keep an eye out and share your progress with my son.

Up in the eastern panhandle, Apalachicola National Forest and Tate's Hell State Forest have a lot of interconnected roads that are not terribly challenging, but way out there. The Southeast Adventure Trail has mapped a route through (can't post links yet), plus a route from Carrabelle east...

Back in the early iterations of the traverse, I did most of the intent of it in my 2wd Ranger (and sections before in my 2wd Escape) - not Tray mountain, admittedly, and not all in one trip - probably four or five trips all told. I used the old pdf versions and mapped it with google earth...

Here's my intro: I've used the Stickbow alias on a ton of places - you may already know me if you're into primitive skills or kayaking or whatever. 1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it! None right now - let me finish my rack and I'll take one! 2) Location (General area is fine)...
