    Survivorman or Man vs Wild??

    Stroud is definitely the man as he carries his own equipment and has to do a lot more work... Bear is cool as well... Obviously as voiced over and over in this thread these are for entertainment. You can pull out a few good tips from the shows. If I can get one good "survival" tip from each...

    Black bear kills 13 year old in Utah

    Believed to be the first in Utah history. They can't talk about it more on the news here. Some are angry park wasnt closed or new campers warned that this bear apparently took a swipe at some other campers the night before. Tragic in any event. M

    Gatorade question

    I wouldnt say they arent out to make money, but I think their product WORKS..plain and simple I notice a difference between drinking gatorade and just drinking plain water. I would tend to agree there is no "perfect" formula, but Gatorade started the idea and likely has the most R&D behind it to...

    Gatorade question

    I dont think this statement is entirely true. I think they put a TON of cash into research on this product to make SURE it does whats expected. They monitor TOP athletes and "tweak" the product to provide what the body needs when it's depleted. Gatorade isn't just hype and it isnt just sugar...

    Fun with Poison Ivy

    This could be a potential issues later in life. If you contract it as an adult its much more of an issue. I think its called Rickets when you contract it as an adult. If you are around kids who have contracted chicken pocks STAY AWAY FROM THEM... M

    Fun with Poison Ivy

    Its a "grease" type cleaner. You'll see it in auto shops like a mechanic uses it after a day in grease working on your car..grab a glop of it from the jug and rub like washing hands...rinse with water...clean hands. Doesnt smell all that good, but not bad either. I'd suggest any auto parts...

    My Shorts Are Falling Down.......!

    Hiking with your K9

    Sorry but I have to ask why he's not "good with other people"? Perhaps since he's not all that good with other people or dogs that it is YOU who should be paying closer attention, keeping "trooper" on a VERY short leash when other dogs are around that may not be leashed. I too am a multiple...
