Back from camping, we had a great time.
I missed not having my computers, not being able to talk to Trinity equaled

lightspeed thanks for riminding me about YOGI, It would be neat to meet a talking bear

I did not go to YellowStone this time, so I did not get to meet maybe next year.
snowman a 11 inch boe knife and fishing pole sounds like a great proper wilderness experience, but I would add my BowTech® Guardian for the perfect wilderness experience.
we where in coyote country, no bears around where we went. Our siberian husky AKA TinkerBell (I see comments coming on this lol) protected us from a garter snake, a chipmunk, some birds, and a few toads. She has a very high prey drive which turned out to be a good thing, for my kids got to see a lot of natures lil pets.
Duskrider thanks for the advise about keeping the woman happy, to have a nice, and to have a safe trip. I did my best but no matter how hard one tries, woman still every now and then find something to be unhappy about. The trip was great, and lots of fun.
oh no Duskrider you said you graduated to camper
