Th So then this would be the same person who tells you he didn't drink all the beer that's missing from the refrigerator? :D

Not being prepared for the cold while hiking can kill you. There only real life-threatening danger you face hiking in the pine barrens is hypothermia. When I hike in the winter I take extra clothing with me and I have waterproof matches, a few lighters, and an emergency bivy sack that holds...

Ticks are definitely harder to spot at night. :D

Al, get a couple of those Moon Pies that the Amish make and keep them in your car. That'll motivate you to keep walking back to your car. Works for me! :)

Adam, if you think that's a credible sighting of Bigfoot, then I need to tell you about the time I was sighted coming out of a hotel with the Playboy Playmate of the Year. :D

I do a lot of hiking after dark. The wind usually dies down and it's quiet and peaceful. It's actually quite nice hiking in the pines on a moon-lit night. But invariably when people find out that I hike at night , they usually ask, "Aren't you afraid to hike in the dark?" I always tell people...

Hmmm...I missed seeing that when I was out there. :cool:

I have attended this event the last four years and have always found it interesting and informative. I definitely recommend it. Unfortunately I'm going to miss it this year because I have a fishing tournament the same day.

Over the last two months I have been hit up for money by two men and one woman, all with the same story. "My mom is in the hospital in Atlantic City. Can you spare a few bucks to help me raise the bus fare so I can go visit her?" Unfortunately, most people who approach you in parking lots and...

Well then it wasn't me. My sign said, "Will work for truffles."

I want to make a Flying Oprah, but I'm having trouble locating a C-130 Super Hercules engine.

They'll give you sixteen cents for a squirrel tail? The people who work in Kathy Lee Gifford's sweat shops laugh at that.

I hiked thru that section of the Batona Trail on Jan. 1 and didn't see them. Somebody wrote in the trail register that's in the box hanging on the tree in the left hand side of that picture that it took them two hours and forty-five minutes to hike the three miles to get there. I remember...

Hey GermanG, you can make some money if you know how to make custom lures. I paid $24 for the lure in the link below. The seller had five of them available when I first looked at it. Then two days later he only had one left for sale, which I grabbed. The lure is on the top left corner of the...

Got it. Thank you!

That's a nice looking largemouth bass...but the beer looks a little stale. :D What did you catch the bass on? Lure? Plastic? Live? The 6th picture down looks like the island in Lake Pemberton?

Hey Karl, did you sign the trail register that's in the bird house looking box attached to the tree? If you did, did you read that one comment somebody made who was hiking through there at night who taunted the Jersey Devil to come get him? Ummm...not that I have any idea who might have written...

That's a good question...and I have another question. I saw a Miller Lite beer bottle on the side of the road that somebody had urinated in (better know as a "trucker bomb") My question is; if somebody drank it, would they notice the difference?

Hey Andy, you can actually do your first day of a thru-hike on the Batona without a pack. Here's how I've done it. I start at Ong's Hat and plan my first night stop at Batona Camp or Lower Forge. On my start day I drive early that morning to whichever location I'll be spending the night and...

Andy, one bit of advice I would give you is to go in mid-latter March as opposed to April or May. The ticks are at their absolute worst when it starts warming into the 70's in the spring. If you still do decide to go in April or May, treat your clothes and footwear with permethrin and check...
