mostly wading where possible (tulpe is awful soft) and floating and pulling ourselves along with arms while we float.yes the underwater limbs can be a problem but in the medders this usually isn't a problem.blowdowns are more of a problem in the wooded swamp sections.There is very little briar...

i had new slightly above the ankle insulated boots on.their very warm even when wet inside which is god.I didn't wear the hip waders because i wasn't expecting to do any serious swamping and the only reason i did get wet was because my mind was in hip wader mode and I wandered into a deep puddle...

It looks like I am going to have to add some equipment to my gear bag for stone hunting.A rake and a garden trowel.Guy showed me how to find underground stones today.The first one we found (the third pic below the map) I must admit I was quite skeptical that there was really something there.I...

I vote we stock pickerel,their natural:-) seriously I have noticed since a kid the quail have disappeared.I heard one last summer.the first in probably 15 years.Why have they disappeared?The turkeys are doing great.I have came up on eggs,hatchling and abandoned nests so they are...

that oswego kayak misadventure is what mad think of such an exploit.I thought you were going to have to learn to swim that day:-) I remember during those winter creek crossings that certain things just disappear.I'm now over 40 and I fear they may not come back if we do this type of thing...

I do miss the days of map and compass and i still practice so i don't lose it.I do like orienteering but stones are hard enough to find as it is.The gps makes it possible.bearing are semi easy to follow depending on the terrain but measuring distance without a gps is very hard to do...

I wanted to sneak into the house but Billy wouldn't have it.Now I knows about the hanging I think I'll leave it alone.I'm such a sissy:-)

what i was doing was peering over top of my glasses to read the gps because yes,I did have water on my glasses.The only reason i dislike rain in the woods.Even if it's just wet with no rain I seem to sweat easier and it doesn't evaporate and my glasses touch my forehead and steam up.Also I seem...

The cellar hole right before the pictures of our daring bridge crossing had walls of a kind I've never seen before.The walls appeared to be made of rock with concrete applied over them put in with wood forms (the plank impressions were visible on the concrete)I have never seen walls made of...
