I live in Minnesota and hear stories every year about people falling threw. Lucky for me I was never one of them. A simple thing you can do when you go out on the ice is to take two screwdrivers and a piece of rope tie a screwdriver to each end of the rope and hang them around your neck. Now you...

killeroy you always make me feel so lazy:happy:. You go on these great hikes taking awesome pics and I'm sitting on the coach. I need to get the wife out more often and go take some short day hikes. We are always thinking of the next big trip and forget about all the parks near by. You always...

Going to bed to warm can be bad as well. I have seen people jump in there bags fully clothed and wake up the next morning complaining of being cold. If you get to warm you need to remove those layers or you are going to sweat and freeze your but off. Also, a sleeping bag that is to big can be...

Seems like it would be hard to get out of once you have had a couple. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Back before I had the whole family thing I used a P38. It always worked well but I do have to admit opening cans for the whole family with a normal can opener is much quicker. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Great video. My wife and I have been thinking of doing some overlanding. We have been watching overland bound videos on YouTube and it really looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing your son's video. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I have a Swiss knife and use it all the time. Love swiss rolls I often joke that I'm cheating on my wife with Little Debbie.

Just watched one of his posts and I found it relaxing. Thanks ND for sharing this.

Definitely something to do on a hot summer day after a nice long hike. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

Looking forward to seeing the photos from Chattanooga. My wife and I are talking about going to Shining Rock next summer. I do hope we can make it out that way. We recently purchased hiking poles and they help a lot on steap grades and traversing rocky terrain. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus...

Love the pics. Those ladders don't look like much fun but I'm sure they were well worth it. I grew up packing in the Smokey Mts. and it brings back a lot of memories of my youth. Thank again for the pics and I cant wait to see what you guys do next.

I'm very sorry to hear about your family. If you buy supplies locally ship them by US mail using flat rate boxes, its far cheaper than UPS or FedEx and its much quicker. Have you thought about a survival guide book it may give them some ideas on making things they are doing easier. I would also...

We were there for 3 days. Wanted to hike Pikes Peak but the wife had some altitude sickness and had to change plans. We did eventually drive to the top. We then drove about 3 hours north to Hanging Lake. The 1.2 mile hike took about 2.5 hours to get to the top and it was absolutely worth it and...

Going to Pikes Peak tomorrow. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
