The mortality thing hit home a couple of years ago, sightseeing in Bryce canyon I was struck by lightning, Not wanting to lose a day of our vacation we continued to take in the vistas when we should have called it a day.

Point 5 really rings true. I went to the deep woods with some friends this weekend to go shooting, well, when we got to the site, a popular place to shoot, there were spent brass casings, and blown apart electronics all over the place. It really got use riled up considering that not only, do electronics contain harmful chemicals, but also, leaving that stuff about can get a placed made off limits for recreational shooting.

@Isaac – I understand the tent, knife, axe and rope, but I’m having a hard time understanding when precisely you use the testicles.

Everybody’s life IS pathetic, unless they can conquer at least portions of the outdoors. Not everybody can go across the Sahara on pure testosterone, but if you’re under 50, have testicles, and no major crippling injuries, you should be able to stay alive in the woods with a tent, knife, axe, rope, and not much else.

Good post! I think another good way to get outdoor gear for cheap-free actually-is to ask for it for Christmas or for one’s birthday. Instead of getting clothes you don’t like, get some outdoor gear you really want. I ask for a couple of things every year and in that way have slowly built up a great collection of gear.

Cool post, there is nothing like an outdoors man, they have that air of confidence that they can take whatever the world gives them. They have this look that everybody’s life is pathetic. I like them

Getting out into the woods is one of my favorite pasttimes. It also has helped me develop a deeper relationship with my older brother. There is no manmade music that can compare to the sound of loons crying in the morning mist by a lake deep in the woods.

Good post, I’m glad there are more outdoor folk around here. A couple of other websites I’d recommend for gear are backcountry.com (and their outlet site) and reioutlet.com – both have good deals and great customer service.
