TP man, for God's sake TP and baby wipes. Baboon azz can ruin an adventure as quick as a broken leg.

Deerwhacker444, I'll keep you in mind for the rifle. Rovering, thanks. Maybe it will ease the envy when you look at the local weather reports! MuskegMan, I'll keep an eye out for your son. It's a small world sometimes. Whiptail, If I asked him, Marty would probably have flown me down, but that would be an unfair distance to ask of a pilot friend.  Thanks tacgnut, Boarmaste123, high_country, Lonny, Raeford, poboy, APDDSN0864 and EricM! 2ndwind, yeah, the pizzas and cheeseburgers and chocolate will be hard to not think about! sollybug, all good thoughts, thanks! I'll probably stick with my current list. For the most part I have no trouble doing without some of the luxuries if I know they are completely out of reach. That's what I'm saying now, anyway! ROMAC, good thinking. Steelhead, there's a reason I chose that area. Gungeek and J23. A few thousand hours of overtime helped buy me the time and cash for this trip. I do appreciate the opportunity regardless.

Sounds like a great trip, Buck. Stay safe, watch your back and have fun.
Wished I could take off 2 months, oh well, maybe when I retire. Then I think I am going to deer camp for two months or so and become a hermit.

I'm home! I managed to live exclusively "off the land" (I brought no food other than salt and pepper) from June 30 to September 8. I think I can honestly call it an adventure. I've posted [b][u]stories from the trip and also numerous photos[/u][/b] if you'd like to take a look!
