    Youtubers ruin public hunting. Change my mind.

    I love the pics in the high country of the sky line. I was trained to navigate when it was darker than 2' up a bull's ass with map and compass! I found this one guys hidey hole by perusing wilderness topos . I messaged him back and informed him his secret is safe from me! He was gracious...

    a question for the Builders on here.

If I got too wet , I either had to keep going to my destination or do a sit and dry out, which involved changing...
