hehe.... made me giggle. And I love the Dead. Space is Home.

"We make of the world of what is in our minds." That's good!

I carry a bivy, and there's nothing like it. being able to lay down in a rainstorm and not be wet or cold, even without other shelter kicks ass. BUT, you absolutely get what you pay for. cheap plastic will gaurantee major breath condensation and a moist, if not downright wet morning. gore-tex...

actually, in my experience the fire piston's seal will degrade LONG before you burn through a decent sized firesteel.

I just have to say that I love that sentence. it's just... perfect.

it's a 60/40 mix of whale oil and panda tears.

Also, assholes get remembered. They tend to be loudmouth, worthless, thoroughly useless people,often thieves and tweeker douchebags, who are unfortunately often someone's first impression on our 'world/lifestyle/scene/whatever'.

If it's a situation limited to 72hrs... NOTHING. Following your guideline of unlimited water, there is absolutely no need to carry food for a trip of short duration. I almost never do! It is truly amazing how long the human body can go without food. While it is nice and comforting to sit...

Hey, I lost your number. Yes, I'm talking to you. I broke the screen on my phone, have another now with same number, but if you are someone who's number I had, I no longer have it. If you wish to remedy this, PM me your #. Bx.

WOW! I never knew I could let others hear this! if you want to know what the INSIDE of my head sounds like, play all my songs at once! beautiful!

Damn, this looks like a lot, but that's about as far as I can narrow it down. Marshall Tucker Band - Can't You See (Live)- 1973 Video by Bob & Andrea - MySpace...

slightly off the homebrew part of this thread is wasp spray. I have found that carrying a $5 can of wasp & hornet spray,( I used to carry a can in a us army canteen holder modded to hold the can) is a legal alternative to pepper spray, which is illegal in many cities. I suppose the cops could...

:worship: I'm just partial to Jerry and Dave.

Agreed! :agreed: it was on the album 'Shady Grove' by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman Has another great line in it: when I die, oh bury me deep, down at the end of 'ol chestnut street so I can hear 'ol number 9, as she goes rollin' by.

yeah, prolly wouldn't take up much more room than a jar of jiffy!

stole the thought right outta my head...

One thing I learned while rubber trampin' is the value of a car cover. If you're in a regular car and not a van, they help block light, keep the cops from seeing the breath fog, and camouflage the car (get a dark colored one) if you drive it out into a field along the treeline. I have done...

back in the mid 90's I got popped for DUI and I tried to demand a physical appearance instead of a video, and was told to, and I quote, "Shut the fuck up and be glad we're lettin' you see the judge at all." But that's Indiana for you. definitely my least favorite state.

mmmmm.... Jealous Stew. can I get the recipe on that?

Movies Featuring Pabst and:

Agreed!

I looked at your pics of fire making stuff. looks like a good little kit. one question though. if that's all packed into one place, don't you run the risk of losing all of your fire gear at once? I'm paranoid about that, so I carry lighters in like four different places, ( including my...

that's awesome. I traveled with a kid for a while that had made his dog saddlebags out of two fanny packs that velcro'd (can velcro be used as a verb?) to it's chest harness. they worked great and had little pockets all over the inside, and a bladder from a camelback fit in one with his...

Sweet. I think the glow in the dark handle's a damn good idea!

def. worth the 8 bucks.

I think you're right, Mouse! that'll be in the future scumfuck olympics!

I like the framed version quite a bit. it really helps your eye kind of fall on the leaf.

Interesting looking work there, Exodus! Could you provide us with some captions, so we know what we're looking at? personally, a BIC is about the best thing going and is what I actually USE the most. But I love having backup, and I carry a blastmatch firestarter also. Lifetime gaurantee...

Tunnels have always been one of my favorite events on the rails! it's like being on a rocket in space or something. Unfortunately, the first time I ever rode through a tunnel longer than 2-3 miles was also my first time to make the run west to seattle, which, as Shoestring mentioned, takes...

easiest way I've found N from PTL/VAN is the Cap bus. It's like a buck all the way to Olympia.

You need a funnel, a large bottle of listerine, and a private place you can do repeated 30 minute headstands...

just finished Steinbeck's East of Eden and Wayward Bus last week. Both very enjoyable. finished Hemingway's Islands in the Stream today. Great read, but sad. and the whole time I kept thinking that I wanted to turn the book into a drinking game.

been commando for years. I keep one pair of boxers in the pack for swimming/river bathing.

wow... I mean... wow. Aside from the fact that someone actually thought to HANG an elephant, what astounds me most is the RR let them borrow a crane to do it.

it is possible. a friend of mine rode hers from Oil City out to Idaho and back. did a tour of hot springs on the way. Just learn how to work on them, get a few basic tools, and you're set. And if you know someone who's quite mechanically inclined you can tweek the shit out of them. Most of...

Agreed. Made it to Crater Lake by accident myself once. What I refer to as my 'Ballast Train Incident' took place just north of K-Falls, leaving me and a buddy stranded just near there. Beautiful area, ice-cold streams, and nothing upon nothing for miles. Definitely a spot I'd like to see...

Beauty!

doobie- I'm glad to hear the yerba worked out. I'm gonna have to give that one a try. I made 38gal (after filtering, started w/ a 50 barrel full) of heavily sugared turbo-beer using a case of expired dried fruit trail mix I dumpstered and 30lbs of sugar. tasty, but needed a bit more kick...

Indeed.

Finn's right. The centrifugal pump is the easiest to adapt to pedal power. it's likely that was the system used to pumop the water in the first place, so you might even be able to salvage the pump. Basically the pump will have an inlet and outlet fitting, to attch the hoses to, and a shaft...

and score one for the man... anyone else think this is being done as a prelude to national healthcare? I believe it is a plan designed to drastically reduce the number of smokers, so that one of the main 'preventable' health hazards won't have to be paid for by the program.

prepare to wait awhile... i tried to go two years ago. hung out in the designated area ( 200 mi. radius) for three weeks, and then found out THE day before that it was gonna be in norcal instead of NE Oregon. got there the day most of the people had left at like dark. which sucked. I heard...
