I vote for hot springs. Can I still come if I am no longer a trail talker?

early Nov sounds good to me. Plus if it is cold you can always go to the Hot Springs Spa and soak in the hot water not like there isn't enough of that on here..lol

hyway, I guess you can go...sigh

Hot Springs is a looooong drive for me, but I am still interested.

A wilderness first aid "class" would be good. Map and compass reading would be great too.

someone needs to lay out a compass course from the campsite to the liquor store for us to practice. Getting there will probably be easier than getting back.

10-hour drive for me, but I seem to be getting used to it. It's the cost of being a flat-lander.

Hyway, I'm cool with kid friendly.

I might be able to round up the old three point compass exercise I used for the scouts.

So would we like to take on some responsibilities here and make a go of it?

I do have a bow drill, hand drill and a real flint and steel (rock and bar) fire starter kits. So I can volunteer for that.

I'm also pretty good with knots.

Hell, I'm a damn Eagle Scout. Tell me what ya need and if I don't know it I can fake it.

If they allow us to dig we can build a solar water still.

I said WATER you drunks!

Oh yeah, I can make cinnamon rolls with a tin foil reflector oven. You can make a neat hat out of it when you are done too.
