And finally, for those who find phrases like epigraphical quotation and foundational assumptions off-putting, along with sentences that contain more than 10 words, I can only say that this is your issue. There is nothing that I can or care to do about it.
YK, thanks for posting skurka's list. i thought that was very interesting. i had no idea he even hunted?
i was very surprised to see him still running an alc'y stove. that right there, is in my mind, a great example of how lightweight hunting and backpacking differ.

Wow, are you arrogant. I think you write like a person who's desperately trying to sound smart. Your ego obviously doesn't allow you to see that your complete inability to write to your audience won't allow your writing to be received nearly as well as it should be.
You can say the issue is that of the reader, but you obviously don't get that the issue is yours. Your polysyllabic blathering may impress you, and maybe your mom, but it is off-putting to most of your readership. But... my guess is that you love hearing how tough it is to read what you write- that feedback only makes you feel smarter and superior to those folks, doesn't it?

The internet sure is a funny place isn't it?

X2 this thread has turned in to the level of a high school girls locker room. Come on guys. Let's not let rokslide turn in to the "other" forums.This thread has derailed to a ridiculously petty and personal level. Come fellas I realize it's the off season and it grates on us all but this is not productive.
I got the impression that Andrew just started hunting very recently. Even though he has field craft and cross country travel down cold, I'm sure he will find that adding the world of animals into the mix will be an entire different dimension to his backcountry experience.
I also expect his gear list will evolve a bit as he gets some animals down. He's certainly starting from a stronger background than most new hunters.
