The Great Outdoors

[mussa]

Since we were talking about camping and canoeing in the iPhone thread, I took it upon myself to start a thread for those who enjoy the great outdoors. Post places you have been, pictures, stories, yeti's, dueling banjos, animals you've shot or places you want to go or are going to in the future.

I am looking into Wyoming this upcoming summer. I'd like to check out Grand Teton and some other nature preserves/parks.

I shot a buck back in 96 and have killed many small animals

I have taken many shteins in the woods. None greater than on top of a mountain in Colorado

I ALMOST got drug overboard deep sea fishing in the Atlantic at 3am in 600 ft deep of water. The line snapped as I was on the edge of the boat

I cliff dove into a lake in Ontario and have cliff dove into the Caribbean Sea

I have smuggled animals across the canadian american border only to have them die in a aquarium

Your all a bunch of candy asses, I knew it!

Everyone is just pretending you're lost in the wilderness and no one can hear what you're saying.

[MDS]

going into the wilderness is gay

[Tomahawk]

That's me doing a cannonball off a cliff on the Current River in Missoura.

I'd really like to get a kayak to kick the hell out of some Class IV rapids. Where's a good place to do that at?

[mussa]

No idea, google class IV rivers

I'll play.

Until I moved to Boston I camped, hunted and fished a lot. Camping more than hunting, hunting more than fishing. When I was a kid I went fishing all the time but that's because I lived in Michigan for a few years and the state is like half water so all anyone does is fish. I basically went hunting with my dad because it was the only thing other than sports and colorful language that we had in common.

I've shot all sorts of birds and small game as well as many many deer. I farging hate deer. They're just delicious overgrown forest rats. I'm hideously allergic to them, so field-dressing was always a massive pain in the ass because my face would swell up and I'd get hives all over my shtein. But I love venison and my dad is a super whitetail-killing robot from the future so I actually hardly ever ate beef while I was growing up. This had the outstanding side-effect of allowing my wang to work properly since I didn't eat all of that bullshtein, steroid marinated, beef that is causing girls to hit puberty at 12 (which in turn is causing the rate of statutory rape to skyrocket, fascists).

Sadly, I hate getting up before dawn, and hate staying sober outside even more so I won't be hunting again any time soon, but I would imagine that I will teach my children how to murder some tasty deer so that they have something to talk to their grandfather about.

Oh and I put my thumb in the butthole of some chick on the Penn State golf course once.

if that's not the great outdoors, I don't know what is

I shot a dove once with a BB gun. My grandparents neighbor cooked it for me when I was like 10. Taste like greasy chicken!

I'm a city slicker. And I live in Texas.

My cousins live in PA and they're rednecks. They hunt anything that lives.

Although I like camping.

Phreak's riffing like he's high on mescaline.

I grew up in Kensington and North East Philly mostly so I'm not really all the out doorsie kill furry animals for food type. I like my meat dyed red and dead. I don't want to see it in its original form. I just want it tasting good and drowned in bacon.

That being said I've been to several military wilderness type survival schools. One was a lesson in how to live off the land and avoid other humans and the other was just how to live off the land. Those schools really cemented my love of supermarkets. After a week in the woods eating snake, drinking pine needle tea, and whatever the farg we could scrounge trap and get our hands on I filled my shrunken stomach with bacon eggs and greasy hash browns till I almost puked.

Civilization > then Pseudo survivalist bullshtein.

My 2 cents...

[Seabiscuit36]

I love fishing, mostly surf fishing because it involves drinking, on a beach.   My inlaws have a place up in Houlton, ME way up where I95 stops and canada starts.  Lake fishing is awesome, but all i want to catch is one of the landlocked salmon they have in the lake

Got into hunting this year, and didnt get to take down a deer, but i enjoy getting hammered the night before at the farmhouse we use, then getting up and waiting to kill a deer, i look at it as revenge for causing 3k in damage to my car a few years back.  We go out for deer and bird, and the farm that we use is on the Sassafras River and really a sick property.

I'd really like to get a kayak to kick the hell out of some Class IV rapids. Where's a good place to do that at?

Upper Gauley River in West Virginia.  They release the dams in the spring and it kicks ass.  Class 4,5 and 6 with a 12 foot waterfall at the end.

Oh, and the outdoor stuff....I get out there once in a while.

[Tomahawk]

Those are class IV?! Maybe I should start out with III then. Regardless, thanks for the hot tip - I'm sure I'll make it to the Gauley this summer.

[Diomedes]

you should start with this and work your way up grasshopper
