Yeah flames might not be very discreet especially if you are trying to stealth camp. Grey man is probably the smart choice.

With flames Everyone would either be like that's awesome and be jealous of your life with girls ligned up at the door or the van would get impounded lol.


Thats fine if he's wearing leather pants and a Motley Crue Tshirt, sitting inside his sweet custom painted van, doing blow and sipping Gentleman Jack. But what if Viking is the more studious, down to earth rubbertramp who is calmly perusing Voltaire's Candide, in slippers and a scarlet houserobe, when all of a sudden groupies show up and start raisin a fuss outside when he mumbles at them to "return at a decent hour"??!!

I think even the most down to earth rubbertramps would put down Candide (as much as I love it) for pussy.

there was a 14 yr old kid doing it a few yearz ago called " tha barefoot bandit" :)

I actually did this in high school 5 times with th same plane...always brought it back, never got caught.

I wonder what they thought when they discovered the hours were off.

On topic: There's a few simple camping items I'd get, but I'd like to be able to earn the $1,000 back again...so maybe a pan for prospecting/goldpanning and work my way up from there.

See?!! Thats what I thought!! It cant be rocket science. Back a hundred years ago aircraft were just dangerous toys...they must be somewhat more user friendly/idiot proof by now...???...

...Although I imagine chopperz are a little bit more complicated....???...

There may come a time in the near future when it will behoove those of us in tha know to be able to make a quick getaway. And in that sort of scenario, knowing aircraft is a definite plus.

Yeah, owning shit is a pain in the ass. The more you like it and/or get attached to it, the more irritated you'll be when it gets lost/stolen/damaged.

Better to invest in training.

I'd probably use it on some upgrades to my gear and on plane tickets to other beautiful places around the world. I would fly to Iceland and tramp through there and head to Scotland. It's beautiful. Maybe head to South America with what I had left over. I guess that 1000 would run out pretty quick haha.
