  1. The only thing that bothers me is taxpayers are paying for roads. There may be good reason for that, perhaps revenue generated from taxes on the logging companies. I like how they say there will be only fields of stumps left. They obviously have no idea how logging companies make sure the land is clean and replanted with new sapplings before they leave. They may also be taking out the large, older trees only, so the younger stuff will grow. Just trying to add other views to it. That's a pretty leftist website. And if they say that "global warming" is going to destroy those trees anyway, why protect them? :P


  2. Some people make this way too complicated. Take your gun, your sleeping bag, some food, a way to get water, and a first aid kit. Leave the stoves, and pots, and fancy pants, and radios and all that stuff.that wasn't invented 50 years ago. The wilderness will provide you a lot more than you think. I'm surprised some people aren't listing TV's and microwaves. :rolleyes:


  3. I pack similar to you, but decided to go with pills instead of a filter, and I am lucky to go to a place where the deer are within 100yds, so no need for a scope or tripod, which saves a good bit of weight, as does a small set of 8X binos. I also take light weight food, but hunt an apple orchard, which saves having to bring a ton of food, but can require extra mountain money :P


  4. I was out deer hunting yesterday in a spot that usually has a ton of pigs,and saw none, or no sign. I wonder if all the rain has them sitting tight to core areas? Also a ton of forbs and grasses growing everywhere. Sure is a neat time to be in the desert. Crossing Queen creek with 20" of water and 14" boots wasn't much fun. I'll remember to bring some sneakers with me next time.


  5. I have been with Verizon for over 10 years and have had pretty good luck with the exception of the border zone (southern az) where my buddy's Alltell seems to work better.

     

    In Northern Az- Verizon seems to work great and they are constantly expanding and updating their network "can you hear me now?"

     

    I did buy the Casio G z One phone which is waterproof - First of it's kind and shock proof, dust resistant etc. So, If you backpacking or hunting , this phone is more rugged than some of the garbage they sell to consumers.
