my great uncle Ulis is a soy bean farmer. I might be able to get you some tips

I totally agree

I've eaten kangaroo(in Australia.) A bit on the chewy, gamey side, mate. My granddad used to take my brothers deer hunting(again with the brothers getting to do all the fun stuff!). The meat would get ground into "hamburger" and I hated it(not sure if it was the thought or the taste--I just could not enjoy it.) My mom would have to show me one of those styrofoam trays from store-bought meat to convince me that the deerburger was hamburger. Eventually I caught on to this ruse--"mom, why is the styrofoam always so clean if meat just came off it??" She had been hiding the same tray in the cupboard to show me each time. Duh. No wonder I don't miss meat now. That was too weird. in quick succession i was present for the cutting of the chickens head off and then the removing of the feathers... i was 9 then mom fed me bunny and told me after.... i was vegetarian until i was 23. i absolutely think being veggie is a viable option!!! i do also think if you want to eat meat ya should kill your own i bet more people would be veggie

I am learning to shoot a bow and arrow with my boys. Guns are on the list. as far as the cost goes, i don't know how much a good rifle runs. i do know that you can buy them used for much less and i do know that you only have to buy one. if you take good care of it it will take care of you for the rest of your life and likely the lives of your children after you are gone. if you parcel out the price of a gun over the 40 years you use it, it's about 50$ a year. I spend more than that on groceries a week.

berries going bad on the vine is a bad bad thing!!!! mmmmmmmm JAM

Back when I hunted, I didn't view it as a sport, no more so than growing my own vegatables was a sport. I wanted to know where my meat was coming from. It was work, that had some sporting elements (like using a trad bow). But I know a lot of hunters viewed it as a sport, which was part of the culture about the entire experience that I didn't like. Well put. Although I am not against hunting as a sport, I do not personally hunt for sport. I do not consider my impetus for hunting superior than those who hunt for their own entertainment (I am, of course, against poaching). I started hunting b/c I couldn't afford meat any other way. On the other hand, I fish and I pretty much only catch and release. In essence, I only fish for my own entertainment. This, on my mind, is ethically equivalent to those who hunt for pleasure. And yes, the animal is not killed--but I think the logic is about the same. So, you spent $$$ for a tank of gas, a gun, ammo, licenses, those cool looking technicolor vests, etc...because you couldn't afford chicken at .99/lb? Bwahhhh! You po black chilluns sho kno howda make up dat shit talk.... Your version of hunting is pretty different than mine. I was given my first gun, I caught a ride with my hunting buddies, I didn't and don't dress up beyond the regulation $2.99 orange overvest, paid the $48 Idaho license fee and bought a $15 box of ammo and had meat for myself, my man, and my random guests for a year. My meat was clean and butchered by me in my clean kitchen. I stored it in a chest freezer I bought used for $25. And I know that the animal lived well and died quickly (b/c believe it or not, I actually like animals and don't want them to live in feed lots). I know I will never change anyone's mind about hunting with my logic and my feelings behind my actions. But I do think it is important to discuss it--especially with people who "embrace diversity" and all that shit (that may not be you, but I'm just saying...). Different strokes for different folks. no changing of minds here. I was raised in an area where hunting is the norm. ( was not encouraged to hunt as a girl, but that is a different subject all together) my dad hunted some. we were also able to buy a side of beef from friends who raised it and butchered it. i got to eat the same cow that i chased around in the fields when we couldn't ride the horses. my god father bow hunts. for any one who hasn't tried home grown or hunted meat, there really is a difference. i will eventually find my way back to my roots and hunt and raise my own beef and chickens. it is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when

i'm on the hunt i'm after you cause i'm hungry like the wooooooolf damn you, you know that song is stuck in my head now

me too. i already made strawberry jam this summer. it is about time to try my hand at raspberry

what is "Torta's"???

IMHO if you are going to eat it it is best to know where it came from. either it grows up in your back yard (cows chicken and pig fruits and veggies)or go out and hunt it. either way you aught to see it alive before you eat it. of course i don't do that, but it is my goal.

I could totally do that. that sounds way better than sitting at my desk all day.

I had chicken pesto calzone and tater tots for dinner last night I love food!!!!

xoxoxoxoxo I *heart* Offwhite!!!!!

Tim, very interesting post, and something i have been thinking about. I think that "being able to climb" means something different now than it did 9 years ago when i started climbing. To me i am a 5.9 climber because i can go any where and make it up a 5.9 the first time clean(usually). I can work a 5.10 and i am sure i could work an .11 to the point i can climb that one climb of that grade. but that doesn't mean i can go on a trip and reliably be able to crank on .10's or .11's. I know i have old crusty ethics. but it works for me.

sold!!! i cook, clean and am great in bed. all you gotta do is love me I already love you. i don't know what the hold up is then :moondance: oh and i do love dogs!!!!!!

how soon can i come and see you? i need my feet better ASAP. i am going insain sitting arround on my ass.

i stopped reading rock and ice a while ago. I got pissed off and started reading backpacker instead. I might have to check that one out though.

I still want a t-shirt that says CascaseClimbers.com on the front and MUFFY on the back so i can wear it to smith rock and i don't have to introduce myself.
