We've done a lot of canoe camping up in the BWCA. Things we bring along include detailed maps, binoculars, good flashlights, butane lighters, fire starters, (we make our own from egg cartons, dryer lint and melted wax), rain gear, waterproof bags, lots of rope, first aid supplies, and lightweight backpacking hammocks.
A must-have luxury item for me would be my Aero Press coffee maker - it's lightweight, simple to use, and is very easy to clean.

Yup! Same guy donated ours because he didn’t believe any politicians in our area would! (He’s not wrong).

That just took me back to typing class in high school.

I watched the PBS special about him this weekend. I really enjoyed it.

You must have been away for a while because you posted a flurry of replies.

So, let's go back to what you wrote on Nov 18:

And here is the definition of arbitrator:


I did not represent myself as chosen by anyone to decide any dispute. I suggested (or insisted) that two people come up with a consistent view on something which has already become OBE. You have probably already read that resolution, or OBE result.

Well, part of this is true. You were merely self-chosen. And "some kind of" is a qualifier. I know how you love semantics more than actual argument.

Exactly. Like someone assigning tasks and limiting the parameters of the conversation.

If you are refering to the colored backgrounds on the clue lists for found, attempted, and planted then yes, it is still there. I was not logged in the AQ thru the app at the time. As soon as I logged back in the colors were there.

So, pretty much what you have been doing in this discussion.

My box 383531 is not showing up when searching for Coventry, RI. Why? Thanks

Do you have 'hide my plants' selected?

It showed up for me when I searched for Coventry boxes.

Thank you for those suggestions. No, we will not have a full, refill station, yet the other fuel ideas may work. There are more campgrounds up and down the road to Gatlinburg than I can think of.

Haha...I got you. 👍

Yes. I understand -- not only SHTF survival preparedness but also real world survival knowledge. 100%.

That you mentioned the personal locator beacon caught my attention because we just had a class about flashlights, and that was one thing the speaker discussed -- including for a canine companion.

Thank you for the thorough and thought out response.

Thank you for your ideas and suggestions. The coffee maker is an idea to consider, too. 🤔

This has been a helpful thread!

Depends on the search you are running. You'll have to share your actual search so we can see what filters are being run on it to get a definitive answer.

Second one listed in my search.

I'm not sure I saw it mentioned, but perhaps have some feminine hygiene products. Sometimes Auntie Flow sneaks up on us or you forgot to grab some pads. Also, if you have Tylenol, have Motrin too, see above, plus sometimes the concept of above the shoulders Tylenol, below, Motrin is a good one to know.

For example:
ACR ResQLink 400 - SOS Personal Locator Beacon with GPS and Global Coverage

That sounds like so much fun. I sure wish I could be there. I miss getting together with my GA boxers. Have fun!

Honestly, one of my boxes is like that. Few finders in an otherwise very populated area...and nearby boxes get way more traffic. This one rarely gets looked at. Not for difficulty or length or anything. No idea. It's been out there for 6 years and less than a handful of finders. Tried changing the address several times to be clearer but no dice. Just accepted it at this point.

Duh!! something so simple. thanks for pointing me in the right direction. ;-)

Upstate SC!

Thank you!! my old man dog was my model 😊

Charlotte area here. Make today a good one!

Congratulations, Bebo Bear, on your Box of the Week! Well deserved for that amazing carve.

Is he serious?

The first half of his 'addressing the nation' speech, he starts with his old broken record rant...its Biden and the Dems fault on what is wrong with the country.

Then the second half he just lied and lied about what he had accomplished.

In what reality is this man living in? I cant believe what I just saw. I was watching with my jaw on the floor, I have never seen anything like it.

Then we have Trumps 'Presidential Walk of Fame’ with his plaques that read like his typical tweets with bad English and bad punctuation. At first when I saw it on Twitter I just assumed it was 'fake', then came to learn he actually really did this.

There is something seriously wrong with this man.

Plus, if that wasn't bad enough, he popped on during the finale of survivor. There is no excuse for that. The nerve.

I give you a lot of credit for watching, Riggs! The sound of his voice is like nails on a chalkboard, so I read the transcript instead. That was bad enough.

Also, his post about the Reiners was extremely disturbing. Someone really needs to set up a dummy account for him so that his vicious and deranged posts never see the light of day. He probably wouldn’t know the difference, and our country would be more respected. I’m talking to you, Susie Wiles!

This strikes me as redundant.

When I heard that he was giving an address, I sincerely doubted that he had anything useful or remotely interesting to say. He just likes attention and with his poll numbers cratering, I figured he was desperate to get them back up thinking this would do the trick. But I also figured he'd do his same song and dance. Complain about everything bad not being his fault and take credit for anything good whether he was involved or not and a colossal waste of time for anyone who decided to tune in.

For me, the Cliff Notes is sufficient. If it did turn out that he actually had something important to say, I could always watch the "re-runs" later on YouTube.
