I do in fact pollute a few other NGs with my commentary. R.BC is one of
them, and it's where I was fortunate enough to have made the electronic
acquaintance of Mr. McDougall.
Actually, I had a real world physical environment in mind. I assumed that
your travels in the U.P. must have taken you to the Lake Superior State
Forest at one time or another. But, I suppose it doesn't much matter, as
one can easily get a good feel for the stature of the man from R.BC
without having seen the hellish wilderness he single-handedly tamed with
nothing more than his teeth and native wi........um.....with his teeth.
I don't believe that I've ever met anyone with whom I've chatted over
Usenet. One person from the backpacker.com boards, but that was accidental,
so I guess it doesn't count.
But... yes, I have been thru LSSF more than once. It really is replete with
danger. I mean all those trees could attack, couldn't they? I heard the tree
mafia is organizing right now behind ol' Lenny's Log Cabin.
All of those "globally [globularly?] recognized" survival skills sure come

True, true......it's not enough that we as a species have fouled our own

Good idea. One could use it to preheat the Dragonfly.

...and yes, it does work well.....
Only if one adheres rigidly to regimen. A single relapse and it all comes
flooding back.

Speaking of troutin' in Wisconsin (which we weren't, but when has that ever
stopped me?), the early C&R season is open now, no? I just got my license
with the special "Oh, yer from Illernoise, eh?" added bonus on the price
tag. $70 this year.
