Advice for learning skill
I am looking for some kind of 3-4 day backpacking trip that would teach me basic outdoor camping/survival skills. I like in New jersey so something in the east would work well.

Would any of you know of anything. Thanks.

here's my advice to you... never go out until 1 a.m. when you're suppose to be leaving at 7 for a trip. Especially if you're not completely packed. Oh yeah, then instead of packing and going to bed, don't get on TT! night all!

LOL! I see you drunkards were at it late last night. Can you hear my vacuum cleaner, washing machine, dryer w rocks in it, garbage disposal, radio on the "all feed back" station? LOL!
My ex-wife used to do that shlt to me. Glad she's gone... LOL!

Early morning noise is not permitted near the TT campfire.

meangreen - I forgot to tell you that I have a dual personality. But you're in luck. My daughter is selling Girl Scout Cookies. How many of each type should I put down for your order? I suggest a total of 10 packages, one for each of your unbroken fingers.

Reminds me of one of my favorite movies....

(Three guys trying to convince an officer that they could handle their canoe trip on "the big river")

"Tom you were a boyscout once werent you?"

"No, but I ate a brownie once."


LMAO!
Thanks NS but I think I'd rather take the beating. I have a freezer full of the f'n things, cause my daughter sells em too, and now my middle one wants to sign up for Daisies. Great. Double time it! It's really gonna suck in two more years when my youngest hits Kindergarten.
