“Spindlette, all of my gear should be here friday, minus my hammock. I have a prior commitment in Reading this weekend, and the last weekend of the month I'm going to a concert, but I'm open most other weekends. So if there are any trips around 5-10 miles a day, I'm in. I'll bring the shotglass next time complete with a large bottle of some decent tequila and maybe a bottle of some lesser tequila for when the taste buds stop working. Are there any other types of alcohol I should bring?”

“Hot tongue... someone mentioned hot tongue...”

““Al to Pa is a long hike... and... I was worked 10 hours on Saturday and another 14 on Sunday for a project... :(”

..and here come the excuses. We imported our chef from N'awlins, you know. AL isn't that far! No_granola even went to work Sat. morning and came back for the hike.

You miss the next one and you will be taunted mercilessly.”

“:)

Did someone say hot tongue is cooling off?

“I have not gone golfing in almost two weeks. Anyone who knows me can testify that's a huge deal. If golfing was out of the question... no way I could have gone to Pa :D

Just started brewing a new pot of coffee. We'll take care of that cooled off hot tongue.”

“Who's tongue is cooling off?

Ox, you don't want to pack in/out too much. And I'll contribute too, as will anyone else who goes. That's more than enough tequila, maybe.

It's probably best to fit the alcohol to the trip, instead of the other way around, huh?

Uh hello. My name is spindle and I have a problem...”

“Ox - Jeremiah Weed bourbon liquer has a good reputation around the forum - a bit tough to find however”

“Spindle, That makes sense. Maybe I can fill a Nalgene that I can fill the next day with water or something.

Hog On Ice, I've never heard of that. If I see it, I'll try it.”

“"Maybe I can fill a Nalgene that I can fill the next day with water or something."

You learn fast, young Jedi.”

“Who's tongue is cooling off?

You'll have to ask Katie about that...”

“With the nalgene that will forever have an aftertaste of tequilla ;o)”

“Blaming Jose for your inability to control yourself or for your hangover is wrong. One can get to the same place on Patron or any higher end alcohol if one tries.”

““"Maybe I can fill a Nalgene that I can fill the next day with water or something."

Not that good of an idea. Ask AmyG how her hot chocolate was last FYAO trip.”

“Are we sleeping together next week?”

You’re wrong, because I can't afford to buy enough of the good stuff to get that drunk.”

“I've started to pick up bartending shifts at my restaurant. All you have to do is come on down. I'll charge you for the first Patron only. Of course a big fat tip is required at the end of your binge.

But be warned: I have no formal bar training, The last Patron Marg I made was damn clear! ;)”

“" My backpacking liquer of choice of George Dickel :D

FYI trash bags do not breathe very well.”

I would say "yes" to George Dickel White Label.....90 proof.

Did the trash bag give you Schwetty Balls?”

“This reminds me, I have to stop by the liquor store on the way home. I'm almost out of cheap, passable Canadian booze.”

“What the Hell is George Dickel?

I've heard Schwetty Balls are quite tasty.”

“Well instead of a nalgene, maybe I'll find a more disposable source. Or maybe I'll designate that one as the alcohol only nalgene”

“GD is the Other Tennessee Whiskey.”

“Johnny Walker Red Label is my booze of choice on the trail.


Apparently I’ve already been drinking, because I can’t spell worth a damn.

“bearmagnet, some of us should visit you at Salty's........or was it Pepper's.

I say we drop in and have a few and contribute to the Save The Wild Bear Fund.”

“Bitpusher, have you ever gone to the JD distillery? Ironically, it's in a dry county, so no samples.”

“It's been a few years since I went on the tour. I drove past it on the way to a camping trip in November though.

Yes, Moore County is dry, and from what I've heard, likely to stay that way. Apparently in Tennessee, in order to have a wet/dry referendum, a county must have 2500 registered voters on the rolls. Moore County is very small and does not yet have 2500 voters on the rolls. Its likely that even with a referendum, they would stay dry.

“http://www.brunton.com/product.php?id=55

Using any kind of plastic bottle for alcohol, well........just ain't right.

Not only does the alcohol taint the plastic bottle but the plastic taints the alcohol.

Lexan is the least problematic but the softer the plastic the more the molecules migrate to the booze and Lexan is no exception.

Then again, maybe you will get a better buzz with chemically enhanced booze.”

“MarkO - I'll be gone from 8/4-8/15.

I just bought some MaCallan 12yr old for my next trip”

Just make sure you're drinking booze and not white gas MarkO.”

“I didn't notice a taste difference in the liquor I bought in a PET bottle, but I have noticed a taste change when I put liquor into a plastic bottle not designed to hold it.”

“There is a Brazilian chick next door who makes me drink that stuff!!

I like it!!

Gone??

Have a nice trip!!

I will be gone from 10-17 August.

“Ox, I have a pretty red Nalgene set aside special. Works just fine for me.”

“I do believe you and LMG are shacking up for Banff.”

“MarkO- Brazillian? Picture?

Katie - Wanna join?”

“I use a platy. Small nipper for the ultralight hikes... up to the 1l.”

“Pretty and red. Hmmm, I'll have to look into this”

“I've got Alpha. Thanks though :)”

“I have a stainless steal flask and will never use anything else!”

“Hey-hey Bear Man!!!

She's a fit, single mom!!

She likes "es'scotch"!!”

“Ox, I brought that one with me for the weekend. But I drank the contents Fri night. :)

You haven't met BroodX aka hobbit yet huh? We should tell you about the magical Bouncing Booze someday.

“Why are you all having a party in here without me??? Sheesh...of all the nerve...”

“Party in my tent.....”

“LMG, In your own thread even.”

“Are we sleeping together next week?”

We are sharing a tent...I don't know about the sleeping though. Are you bringing your bearspray? 8)”

“At least y'all are talking about alcohol and gear. That is acceptable in my thread at any time.

Hey Zac ~ we missed you this weekend!!! You should have come. How do we get your butt out of NY?”

“I......uhhhh....shipped my bearspray to Alpha-Boy yesterday.

Are you familiar with King Missile?”

“So you guys are sharing a tent... spending the night in the same tent... but... there will be no sleeping going on...

OK... I'm done crashing the party...”

“No I haven't met BroodX. Tell me all about it.”

“You shipped it to Alpha Boy? Bad move...he's known to prematurely set it off. Ask Monty. LOL

King Missile? Hmmm...no, but something tells me I will be by the time we return from Banff.

Please tell me you saved our voicemails from Saturday. :D”

“"Are you bringing your bearspray? 8)"

What's that, extra virgin olive oil in a spray can??”

“BM, you got all your gear needed for the trip?”
