I just dropped my fiance off at Myakka State Park, kinda like the Everglades.
He's hiking by himself for 2 days. 39 miles of NOTHING. He's hoping to see some bear(s). WHAT??? His hammock wraps around the tree, no tent. Like no food, and some water. More first aid kit supplies, just in case. No way to contact me IF God forbid something happens.
How many of you all would do this?
No way would I embark on something like it. Scared shitless...but Im also lonely now too:upset:
Obviously he has no kids or responsibilities; IMO, sounds like a very selfish thing to do.
You ****ers are funny. We here in the mountain states do that all the time. Grow some balls.
Yeah. Grow some balls.Quote:

i am not creepy!!! for real its th enorm for you but extrodinary for me.
Guess you've got yourself a real man. Count your blessings. Sounds like he's having what he sees as "quality time".
For a lot of guys, quality time can only be spent in front of the TV or at a strip club.
I hope he comes back okay, but actually, he's in less danger there than someone commuting on the Jersey Turnpike, right?
I'd do it, good thinking time. (I'd probably get killed though) :)
Hey! No Fair! Someone deleted my post about big balls. What a jip!
Edit: My Bad; I was having an hallucination (sp?)
Yeah, what was the point of deleating that exactly? :/
We'll try this one instead

Giant hair bawls!
I do that all the time. Hike for days, sometimes without telling anyone but my mother first.
But then again I'm a hardcored tough mountain guy and there is no stopping me. Yep thats right I am the best!!
Hott, that is all.Quote:

He's called three times and LOVING IT! The first couple of times he came across wild pigs, second time as well. Said he'd come within 10 yrds of them and they were pretty big. Freaked him a little, but it was great. Then the third time he set up his camp, ok his hammock like 4 feet up. Two deer had walked right by him, didnt even see him while he was up there.
Im excited for him, he's having a blast! Chris is so into things like this, he took a hiking trip with waders through the Everglades a few years ago, that I know I wont do, ah hell no.
I would be totally freaking out right now, its dark and who knows whats out there...
I give people a lot of credit for doing things like this, not my cup of tea, but definetly balls!!!
Yes, his cup of balls runneth over. Aren't you glad he doesn't try to get you to go along?
Girl you are NOT kidding! He froze his butt off lastnight. Im just laughing, but he's having a great time. He heard alot of strange things but hey his cup of tea, not mine. He's fully aware I wouldnt do it.
I think its great anyone who does this kinda thing, one with nature!
Squirley, I always take these two things on all my hikes

i don't come across bears, but cougars are out here, and you just never really know what the hell is out here!
Carp~I know he has a GPS with him! Its a great tool. I mentioned to him yesterday prior to dropping him off he should've bought some deer piss and sprayed it on him! That would've been interesting!
Wheres the scariest or greatest place you've hiked? He'd like to hit the Applachian's next.
Has he read A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson? It's about the AT.Quote:

The most remote, vast, and kinda eery spot I've been is Glacier National Park in Montana, they call it a park, but its a total forest (over a 1 million acres)..you could hike into Canada from there and no one would ever know. Its awsewome for mountain biking and fly fishing. Alot of brook trout here, and very fresh.
My favorite though is Boggs Mountain State Forest in california.
Thats cool that he called you. :)
Im so glad youre telling me about these places, I can tell him about it. In a couple of years as I mentioned were going to venture the US and Im SURE these places he's going to want to look into! Thanks Carp.
Have you ever ran across an animal and got freaked or anything? Hey did you see the Bud commercial with the 2 guys hiking, and they ran into a bear? OMFG hilarious!!!
Yeah I walked right up on a bull moose once, I was with one friend and we were talking loud and we walked right up on him and he was pissed!!!!! We climbed up trees and waited for 2 hours!!!!!!
Those things are intimidating, and they will charge.
Hey, you should go some of these places with him!
That's EXACLTY WHY I wont go to these places. I was charged by a wild boar when I was a kid, last time I did anything like it! The Everglades now has huge pythons like over 8 ft that people let loose in there because they got too big, and uh yea alligators and pythons eating one another and exploding, true story. Hence you wont catch me walking in that scary stuff!
Okay so I guess it was just a bluff when he said he had no way of contacting you?Quote:

Nah, we had to some of way of contact just in case. My cell doesnt get service out there and his does. And thank Goodness, he called today, I had to get him. The water wells which are specifically for those long hikers were DRY. He ran out of water. I HAD to get him today. He's burnt, tired, full of blisters, but he's ticked he had to come in early. At least he knows what to do for next time!
Overall, his experience was great and cant wait to do it again!
Yeah, time to yourself is selfish.Quote:

So I am going camping!!!!!!! This weekend, I am going to Islamorada. In a tent right by the water, Of course i'm taking my air mattress pillows flashlights and i’m going get lots of nookie.
I can’t wait to go shelling jet skiing and all that great stuff. We are going with 2 other couples wahoooooooooooooooo. I leave Sunday ill see you guys again on wed let yopu know how it goes.
Squirt xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo;)
Can I come pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?
I like camping, but Ive learned from our experience last year, my back cant take the ground, so inflatable mattress it is!
Chris asked me the other day to go for one of those day hikes, I cant. My back cant carry that kinda load.
Squirt this would be a very light hike. We could cary your load and make frequent stops!
then bring lots of toilet paper too! I tend to pee pee alot.:D
Squirt ,
U really wanna cum?
So i went camping and it was awesome. key west is magical, mystical, laid back and the perfect spot.
our camp ground was right on the beach
we found a lobster trap that was cut and we ate lobester on the grill it was so yummy. I really did have a great time we all did.
We actually came up with an idea and it has a name toooo. lol
