as an avowed omnivore that is too much of a babby to kill his own food i really can’t look down at such a pass time.

trophy hunters on the other hand... :toughguy:

you should only be allowed to hunt wolves and bears if you enter into the drawing pool for a tag lottery for being hunted as the most dangerous game

Boots are the best outdoor purchase I've made, I've got a few hundred mountain miles on a pair and they're still going strong

i bought a pair of Asolos in 2013 for a backpacking trip and ended up wearing them nearly every day since and the soles are nearly gone but they've held together and kept my ankles correct

discovered that if i listen to the album i listened to a dozen times during my last desert trip while driving, i half-dissociate and my mind ends up stuck in nevada

also, i was reading about Moebius

quote:

It was the experience of the Mexican desert, in particular its endless blue skies and unending flat plains, now seeing and experiencing for himself the vistas that had enthralled him so much when watching westerns on the silver screen only a few years earlier, which left an everlasting, "quelque chose qui m'a littéralement craqué l'âme",[15] enduring impression on him, easily recognizable in almost all of his later seminal works.



that's about right.
