Went to wedding orgy, woke up with a sore throat. Sounds suspicious. @Knight - you're ass hurt too?

I thought about it. The wife doesn't want to spend that much time on trail. She'd meet me and bring supplies, but I'm not gonna stay split from her for that long. I might do the Ouachita one of these days though. Takes a couple weeks think. We did a couple days worth a while back, it's pretty...

I get it. One of my buddies (10 years older than me) vet, shot knees, etc... He rode bikes. Like all over the state. Some dudes swim. You do what you can with what you've got to work with. Just don't quit.

We each had Jetboil stoves at first - they are VERY efficient. Also bulky and heavy. Swapped for MSR and a titanium 750ml mug. The small fuel can, stove fits in the 750 mug. Can't beat it. I love campfires, but you can't always build a fire, and it's slow. Carrying a quart or two of water is...

To each his own I reckon. I'm interested to see how you got 40lbs of stuff packing so little food and no stove!

https://www.koco.com/article/new-legislation-would-protect-drivers-who-hit-protesters/35584863# I love this state. " A bill granting drivers immunity for hitting protestors easily cleared an Oklahoma Senate committee recently on a 8-1 vote. Two others are pending in the state House."

Holy crap. That is unacceptable. Do you have a backpacking stove? Wife and niece ate MREs and other stuff first trip. Mtn House second trip. I dehydrate deer and veggie mix, ad ramen or Idahoan potatoes... The store-bought meals are way expensive, you can make your own for cheap, and better...

Dude, my wife and I could outfit a troop of Scouts with all the gear we've tried and later replaced. Once you get your stuff sorted and weighed, I'll try to help. What did y'all eat while you were out there?

Yeah, yeah....but quality of life is another matter entirely.

Morning K Klub. Been working on that K98 stock I got from Liberty Tree Collectors. Turns out it's not as nice as I first thought. I pulled it out of the bix briefly when it arrived, and it looked like walnut. Once I had time to really check it out, it is not. Pretty light stuff, stained, but...

I heard this: "when you hit thirty...." "when you hit forty...." "when you hit fifty...." I called bs every time, saying my input simply had to match my output. It's math, plain and simple. If your metabolism slows, eat less. Want to eat more, get some exercise. I see guys my age that look...

That is no bueno.

They probably been reading 9 years of my posts on gun forums, saying to themselves..."this guy really believes all gun laws are infringements and taxation is theft" Fuckem

Miss demeanor sick? Wedding date sick? Perhaps there's more to your new exciting single life than you've revealed? Any strange rashes or discharge?

Write it down and hang on to that.

Check out a couple Youtubers: Darwin on the Trail and Homemade Wanderlust. They have too many videos to sort through, but if you got to "playlists" you'll find a lot of good loadout and gear review videos. Ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain......

Well...let's see what you have in your pack. You got a kitchen scale?

I spoke with them a couple times, they said all is well, no "pending BG check". I emailed them Thursday per the chick I talked to, but haven't heard back. Just typical slow guvmint workers I reckon. It's pretty stupid really. I've had a concealed permit for close to 20 years, bought numerous...

I been waiting since November 16th. They got my prints on 11/24. They claim "60 day average". I've always been above average, but this sucks...

Hit me up if you want any info on lighter gear. I've got some light stuff, and my wife goes ultralight. You can cut that 38 lbs waaaay down I bet.
