You haven't seen the Jersey gun laws ! The only people in New Jersey with guns are the criminals and drug dealers and they are to busy shooting one another.

No complaint there - I don't mind when they take each other out. Especially if they are foreign gangs (asia, somalia, etc).

Another not so good camping story was that I believe I contacted the "Hantavirus" while backpacking on the Appalachin Trail in the Shenandoah Va. sleeping in a shelter. The virus comes from field mice, breathing in their dust. I wound up in the hospital in Gore West Virginia for a day getting an IV drip of fluids.After that I have never slept in a trail side shelter again. Since then I have slept in a tent, under a tarp, or under the stars. So much for bears or snakes. I was about a sick as I ever can remember.The flu x 10.

Your right ML . I have sold all my guns don't hunt anymore, just fish . Throw must of them back only take home what we put on the table. Although there are couple of squirrels munching on my plastic gutter guards that I'd make an exception for LOL.

Maybe that big ugly motorhome looking thing but the rest of them aren't even practical for the way people "camp" nowdays.

I see the "Going to the Sun Road" in Glacier Nat. Park is expected to opened this coming Friday (6/15) as long as they don't get any more snow. Last year it didn't open until like July 8th. A really nice trip-- if you get a chance do it.

I don't know, but sure looks like an awesome job !
I looked into parks Canada jobs before.
They even hire people during the spring, summer and fall months just to sit on top of a tower overlooking the forestry as fire watchers.
They even supply vehichle, housing modern cabin, and all food expenses, and other expenses).
But, even those qualifications they demand are pretty high standard.
Such as survivor training, the highest 1st aid certificate, pre Parks Canada experience or 2 years of Parks Canada volunteer work, just to name a few.
I think you also need some kind of foresty, wildlife/nature degree, too.
A job I would love and would be young and still going to school !

Eureka Timberline with ground cloth underneath and a survival blanket inside silverside up (in cold weather to reflect bodyheat) thermo-rest self-inflating pad and a marmot mummybag .Snug as a bug in a rug in the coldest weather. Always keep your sleep wear separate(pack inside your sleeping bag) never ever sleep in your hiking clothes they retain moisture that will make you cold while sleeping. Pack your sleeping bag in trash bag so it never gets wet and always have a least 3 layers(moisture barrier) between your self and the ground. A wool hat is good if you are lacking natural insulation on you head like Stewie. Some of the best camping is in the fall and winter. Also it gets cold in the higher elevations all year round.
