What's the last thing you purchased?

[Oerdin]

Not a purchase but I caught a mouse which my cat had brought inside. I took my shirt off and used it as a net to catch the mouse, the cat had done a good job battering the mouse fairly senseless, then took the mouse out front and dropped him down the storm drain. Hopefully he decides to go some where else and doesn't just climb back up.

Which park?

Kings Canyon. It was gorgeous, even when it rained.

 

[Oerdin]

We need the rain. I have been to Kings Canyon many times and it is a very under rated park. Great scenery without the fame and without most of the crowds.

 

[Oerdin]

I can remember going to Kings Canyon, around 2005 or so, with some Indian friends including some fresh off the boat sort of Indians. I came with my usual REI complement of gear where are one Indian electrical engineer with his brand new arranged marriage wife whom he barely knew were like "why do you have a zero degree sleeping bag and a North Face competition standard tent?"

Me: "Because it gets bloody cold at 11000 feet and I do not wish to freeze."

Also me: "What exactly did you bring with you?"

Them: "We bought some canned food and a blanket off of our sofa."

Me: "You and your wife are woefully under prepared. You will need far more than that. Do you have a pad to cushion and insulate yourself from the ground? Do you not have a tent to keep the rain and the frost off?"

Them: "No, we never needed that in India."

Me: "You mean in cities in India? You are at 11,000 ft and you are going to freeze at night, man."

Them: "It is summer and I am sure we will be fine."

Me: Say absolutely nothing. At around 1am both of them packed up their things and drove 80 miles down the mountain because his arranged wife said she was freezing to death.

Fucktards.

That reminds me of something from when I was about seven years old. My dad had set it in his mind to climb Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in California and the tallest mountain in the lower 48 state. He thought a seven year old and a nine year old would make it up and back, a 30 miles road trip, all because "in Vietnam we did..." Well it just didn't work out that way.

He had drought threw can of pork and bean but had forgotten to bring a can opener. Luckily, seven year old me had brought a collapsible fishing pole so I could catch four rainbow trout and the three of us could eat though. He had not brought sleeping bags thinking a seven years old and a nine year old could cover 30 miles in a day the same as he had done as a US infantryman.

 

[Frood]

Didn't you have a knife on you to cut into the can?

At the age of seven? No. Some nice other people lent us there can opener but it just went to show what a fuck up it was. My dad only carried one sleeping bag, he figured qe'd be up and back before the day ended because, as I said, his infantry company did more in Vietnam. He just didn't account for slower moving seven and nine year old children.

It was a mess. He didn't do it because he was malicious but he did do it. It was unrealistic expectations all around.

I had a pocket knife as a child. The handle was made from deer bone. We had a family friend who made them.
