Nice pics Scott. Not sure if your stove is a Pocket Rocket or not, but I have had one for years and it is a great piece of gear. Small, lightweight, reliable, and heats up quickly. I have a small foldable wind guard that I use with it which helps speed up the heating g processjmh58 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 9:02 pm A few pics from today’s “Woods Wander” Even had a hot lunch!!A little snow made things interesting!!

Interesting set of Antlers . Don’t often find old buck Skulls around here . Lot of Sheds early Spring but not skulls with antlers attached still .cbay wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 9:44 pm Hey fellas! Haven't visited the thread here for a bit, thought I'd share a recent find. Was out taking care of bees yesterday and thought I saw some bones off the hill. Took a stroll down there and found this guy.
No history with this one so was surprised to see him here.
Kinda bitter sweet to have this season after my oh so close encounter with a giant earlier this season that didn't pan out.
Season still going but those old boys are getting tough to run in to with a bow and arrow this late. Be making a few moves yet this year but not many. Got a cape in the freezer and probably use it for this find. Lots of character on him.
Here’s my sticks Garry.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 12:31 am Just curious John. Do you use any kind of walking stick or staff?

I was camping along the Rappahannock River, close to the source, and decided to try boiling the river water and using it for cooking rather than packing in water. I drank some I boiled also, it wasn't terrible.
Never did the creek/river water thing even though I carry a Sawyer pocket filter.. New and never used though..

It’s a old Lock. There were at 1 time 11 Locks on Beaver Creek where we hiked.
I agree.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Tue Dec 14, 2021 1:04 am Loving your photos John beginning with the first one with the sun lowering in the trees. Feeling I am wandering along with you.
Thanks John..1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Dec 14, 2021 1:41 pm I like your Fallen Ash picture, John. We had a ton of Ash trees at the farm and the bug killed pretty much all of them. The dead ones on the fence row are the worst to deal with when they fall, and most are really large. One took out our fence and the neighbor's shed. Luckily the tree was on his property, we just fixed the fence.
That tree was huge.. And I guess the bugs got that one too.. The first time I hiked that trail, that tree had just fallen down.. Had to cut a path under it to get thru.. One big boy.. Nice, John!
