Well the CP1's formal name is Chicken Pen #1, so the cross could be Big Stinky Chicken Pen.

With me night hiking for a couple of three hours at a time these days, I have been wanting to smoke away from the camp, but I didn't want to carry any with me. So last night I did carry a little of the BST2 {FP} bud in a zip-up makeup case over to an old house on my cousin's land. I got smoked up, hid the stash in some of the junk there and did my miles. But there was a couple of gunshots from nearby land, so I headed in the other direction. Today I got to thinking about me sitting and smoking with my headlight on, so near the landline. The man who owns the next land over has a couple of teenage sons. I haven't met them, but have heard them puttering around at night on their 4-wheelers. I figured it must have been them who fired the shots. Just hope they didn't see me smoking.
Today I hiked the stash, {in the make-up case, in an old mason jar, in an old torn black garbage bag, in a cloth shopping bag} over to a nice clearing where my cousin had wanted to put her trailer {on the back of her land} before she learned how much it was a foot to put in electricity. {her trailer is by the road} I hung the bag in this nearby fence-row.
Now I have bud, pipe, lighter and tray in my mobile, covert, undisclosed location. A closer look.

Speaking of hiking, my customers got out of here early, so I'm heading home to change clothes and vehicles, and I'm heading to the camp. See you guys later.
PS: saw this earlier on You Tube. Thought it was worth sharing.

My hiking chill spot. . . . . .
. . . . comes with a good sitting log. I hiked over another kind of bud today, so I would have some variety.

Once again my customers are out of here early, so I'm heading out. I might camp again. Will see what the wife says when I get home.
Last night I forgot to mention that I had a double slice of the Canna Blueberry bread, expecting to work late. When I got off early I was still so high I had to think about steering the car. It was kind of scary, as you never think about steering, you just do it.

These last few nights the moon has been late coming up, so it's been really dark when I was hiking. If you are on a road or a good trail, you can walk without using your headlight, and the stars are so bright. I didn't stay out long, but sure enjoyed it.

One of my fondest memories from childhood was from a summer camp I would be sent to. It was in southern Delaware, sandy soil in pine forests. One goal was to walk around at night, going from event to camp, with no lights; flash or head. Easiest when the moon was full, still not very hard with just the starlight. White sand reflects a lot of light. There always was some jerk in the group who would turn on his flashlight...

In the sandy soils around here, when there is a 3 trail road, the two ruts will most likely be white from the sand. With just the starlight you can see where you are going. But when there is no moon and no stars, it's a little harder.
I hate to turn on my headlight outside my shelter. You can see what's at your feet, but nothing else.

Forgot your cordage, but need to tie up some drooping limbs? Grapevines will do in a tight. The older 88 {F1} in the Slo patch was sprawled all over the place, so I tightened it up a little.

Last night I took my penny stove with me and brewed coffee. My pot stand is the metal from sparklers. It held up to half a pot of coffee. Not sure if it would have supported a full pot. Most of the time on the trail, I just use my cup to make coffee in.

I picked up this little speaker at Walmart for 20 bucks. Now I can take the Dead on the trail.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Word of warning though. Hiking can be addictive.

Too much time on my hands here at work today. I made an industrial strength pot stand and penny stove. Stove is 24g and pot stand is 79g. {about 13g for a regular soda can stove with penny} Strictly for the camp or day hikes. Too heavy for long walks. {Sister and BIL got a free quart of beer out of the deal}

I made 2 or 3 pot stands last night at the camp. I used the flat part of aluminium roasting pans, cut down to size, along with some clothes hanger wire. Worked alright, but it needs to be a little bigger. Part of it was pretty well burned up from just brewing two cups of coffee.
Everything fits in the cup. It's 250 grams with the fuel bottle about 1/3 full.

I scored an Army duffel bag at one of my thrift stores this week. 2 pounds 2 ounces. Made of water resistant nylon. $10. I also got more shorts, pants and shirts made from the light weight stretchy stuff. And bought two pare of {new} Dickey Mariano Wool socks for $1.50 a pair. I have bought so many thrift store socks that didn't work out, that it's cheaper to buy new ones you know will work.

Thanks. My adventures are pretty tame next to his. But I do feel more at home in the woods than I do at the house. When I'm at home or at work, I'm thinking about being in the woods.
