  • David Bowie Dies at 69

    Tuckahoe - - Mountain Mike's Jukebox

    Post

    Quote from Astro: “I was not the biggest fans, but enjoyed some of his stuff, and always respected his talent. ” For myself Bowie was one of those musicians that was always playing in the background of my childhood in the 70s and 80s.

    Quote from odd man out: “...Not doing Trinity College in Ireland? Too bad. That is also very nice... ” Actually I am. I'll be flying into Dublin and staying at Trinity College for a couple nights before taking the ferry to Wales. Then at the end of the trip I'll take the train/ferry from London to Dublin to fly home.

    Disorderly conduct charge = the I was a prig in high school and no one liked me, and do now I'm a cop and you didn't respect my authority charge.

  • Sorry, but in this day of boil in bag or freezer bag cooking I really cannot take seriously the Ovaeasy eggs being messy comment. At the very least, egg crystals equal to the number of eggs you desire plus a teaspoon of Nedo with a dash of salt and pepper, sealed in a vacuum bag will give you nice scrambled eggs. Make the bag large enough, to cut open, add water and reconstitute. Bring water to a boil and set the vacuum bag into the water to cook. Bam! Want to turn it up a little bit add freeze …

  • look up Ovaeasy egg crystals. Excellent product and about as close as you can get to real eggs. amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_…efix=Ovaeasy+%2Caps%2C387

  • A Walk in the Woods - the Movie

    Tuckahoe - - General

    Post

    What I love about the discussion of filming locations is that if the production heavily used the trail people would be bloviating to no end that the movie commercialized the trail, that it was not LNT, that it ruined someone's wilderness experience, and there would be 100+ page threads on TOS decrying the abuse of the trail... But if you don't film on the trail, well we then b*tch and moan ab8ut that too. The absolute accurate geography of the trail is not really all that important to the film.

  • Why Most Thru-hikes Fail

    Quote from TrafficJam: “Quote from Tuckahoe: “Quote from Blue Jay La Fey: “I'm sooo glad I got to say this first. There is absolutely no way to "Fail" a Thru. Even if you stop on the approach trail at least you are waaaay ahead if 99% of the human population ” What an utter load of bovine scat! Might as well just hand out participation trophies. ” You're confusing hiking with a team sport. It's an individual endeavor and the perception of failure or success resides solely with the hiker. ” With …

  • Han Shot First!...

    Post

    Quote from SarcasmTheElf: “Um, why wouldn't he? Someone was pointing a blaster at him and trying to kidnap him. I've really never understood the debate? ” Never was a debate, until George Lucas felt that Han shooting first made him look like a cold blooded killer and that the scene needed to be clarified. And since Lucas' a$$ raping of the scene... yeah well... youtube.com/watch?v=kbF83PhAZCY

  • Sleeping Bags

    Tuckahoe - - AT Specific

    Post

    Personally, I would go with the 20 degree bags. In May in the mountains it still very early spring and can still get pretty cold. I find it a lot easier to vent a bag, than it is trying to add in more layers to get warm -- especially when many folks are carrying fewer layers as the weather warms up. On another note, regardless if someone sleeps warm or sleeps cold, I find that the physical exertion during the day can alter how well one sleeps warmth wise.

    ASAP! Its not so much ASAP that bothers me, but it is that folks spell it out -- A - S - A - P -- rather than using the acronym as a word, a-sap. The whole point of the word is to spead up communication and all that happens is it gets slowed down. It is especially annoying in cop shows, medical dramas and war movies.

    I find kit to be a quite useful and appropriate word. It's "system" that I can't stand hearing. Also agree with Elf -- I find it irritating everytime someone tells someone else what they "need."

  • Deejo Knives

    Tuckahoe - - Gear

    Post

    Despite the insistence of the retailer that told me these were indeed French made, these knives are made in China. It's a shame really. I have no issue with the Deejo being made in China, it is a nice little, well made knife for the price. But the retailer wasn't exactly honest and won't get the sale.
