Better than being stoned WITH rocks...

You couldn't keep me out of those mountains. Where you live is so beautiful. I used to be up in a house surrounded by woods and a river and waterfalls. I spent all my time in those woods. I got stoned for the first time in those woods. I have a theory about what you do the first time you ever feel that high. I was in the woods, now I live the woods. A buddy of mine told me once he was baking something the first time he smoked and it hit him when he opened the oven. He's now an amazing chef working at really nice restaurants. Another buddy was in his garage tinkering with his car. He's now a mechanic. If anyone sees this let me know if it's true for you or if it's not true. I'm going to make a post about it.

That is a very good question.

nice boots. What kind are they? I accidently left my boots and sneakers in the cabin tent in Yosemite. Fortunate I have some really comfy Keen sandals that work well. How do you know that is an Indian Hideout? I smoked some weed in an Indian Tee Pee in Yosemite. That one was totally official with historic markers and stuff.

Looks like a lot of detritus around the larger rock.

Those are Keen Ridge Flex Mids, really lightweight, pretty good ankle and arch support for a mid height, about an inch higher than most.
That was used as a base for Abenaki raiding partys for attacks in southern Maine and NH for about 100 years, thru 4 of the 6 French Indian wars.
NH militia finally tracked them there in 1746 during King George's war, attacked but they fled to French territory in Canada with 3 hostages.
It's an unusual formation, a gorge was cut out when it was a river under a glacier for millions of years

Ok, 3 hostages ? I never would have guessed.

This is sad on so many levels. Doesn't say how they were "injured". Space blankets don't weigh anything and a quality Iridium rents for $80 a week and a simple read thru of the MZNP web site spells out the cautions. The man told officials "they became dangerously cold overnight and experienced symptoms consistent with hypothermia." Sounds like he was coached by an attorney as to what to say.

nice day today, so nice. These pictures are from a hike today. What an incredible hike it was!
This rock formation was at the very end of our journey . The cloud that was hanging over it when passing was very nice. Rocks with windows are so cool. This one has a small window in the lower left corner . Behind this rock were the remains of an ancient Indian Dwelling.

Not in Colorado anymore. Moved to Washington state and was looking through my first aid kit and stuff I need to keep in my pack.
I know I need a pocket knife.
Anything else important besides what I have already here? I have my phone with Trail gps.

Good tourniquet, compression dressing and clotting (trauma) dressings.

Irrigation syringe.
If you have to irrigate an eye, just cut the tip wider to reduce the water pressure.

a small .22 handgun. if you encounter bears or mountain lions, you shoot your hiking partner in the leg and then run like hell.

First rule of hiking light, everything you bring has to have 2 uses.
Can't you just shiv them gently with the shiny new knife, then run?

If you often hike where there is no cell reception, I'm a big fan of topo (paper) maps and a good Brunton compass (course you have to have the knowledge/skill to accurately interpret the maps). I would have suggested a fixed blade sheath knife. I'd toss in some surgical tubing. Couple of Adderall tabs if you are dead tired but absolutely have to power thru to reach a destination. Artificial tears (with NO benzalkonium chloride or tetrahydrozoline). Signaling mirror. Couple of new Bic lighters. Tube of lip stuff. And if you're really going to be out in the boonies, alone, rental of a sat phone for the length of the trip. They're surprisingly cheap. And if you go in the water make sure everything is packaged to stay dry.
