Old logging roads used to get me into some amazing fishing streams. Then I have an iron clad memory for directions. Comes from working underground.

they both now suffer from Post Traumatic Samoas Disorder.

"You want Samoas?"
"No thanks, I've had enough."

(It's nice to be able to make a joke, since it is about something that ended well.)

Thats wilderness?

Nothing used to piss me off more than getting stuck and having to walk 10 miles to get to a well traveled road.

Now days up there, you had best have at least a pistol or the wolves will hunt you if they are around.

The two Michigan women lost in the wilderness for almost 2 weeks survived on Girl Scout cookies and cheese puffs, police say.

Isn't there a survival rule of three, as in you can survive 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food? If you have some chubbiness, as those women appear to have, they could go several weeks without food. More critical to have water available, which is why I always carry multiple bottles of water stored in my truck. And a first-aid kit. The food can wait.

that statement is sheer idiocy!

GSUSA, a nonprofit, does not send or donate money to planned parenthood, another nonprofit.

YOU fund abortions- because your tax money goes to planned parenthood. So I am going to boycott you!

The sisters probably looked in better condition than did Louis Jordan, who was reported to have survived 67 days lost at sea, eating raw fish. Many people still don’t believe his story.

hmm

http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/concerns-over-girl-scouts-persist-following-usccb-investigation/

Now a panel of U.S. bishops has released the results of a two-year investigation into Girl Scouts’ problematic messaging, ties to Planned Parenthood, and continued advocacy of so-called reproductive rights by the organization’s international affiliate, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). Their findings indicate that the concerns continue to persist, regarding the problematic connections between the Girl Scouts and groups that promote policies contrary to Church teachings on life and sexuality.

The bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth (LMFLY) conducted a study generated from staff research and a dialogue with Girl Scouts, producing a seven-page Q-and-A resource for Catholics available on the USCCB webpage since April 2. While the resource is intended to provide guidance to dioceses, it leaves many unanswered questions about future Catholic participation in Girl Scouts programs.

Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) has an official policy of neutrality on sexuality, contraception and abortion. Yet concerned parents nationwide contend that neutrality has been compromised by the GSUSA’s use of abortion rights activists as role models on GSUSA’s online resources and in program materials the girls use.

The Church has also taken notice of the disconnect between Catholic teaching and GSUSA practices. In June 2011, Bishop James Conley, then auxiliary bishop of the Denver Archdiocese, wrote a column in his diocesan paper cautioning families about Girl Scouts’ and WAGGGS’ presentation of sexuality, “choice” and reproductive issues. In January 2012, Father Gerald Weymes, the pastor of St. Timothy Catholic Parish in Chantilly, Va., outside Washington D.C., halted Girl Scouts’ participation through the parish and school.

And who goes into a remote part of Michigan in early April without a satellite phone and without telling someone where they are going. This is another reason to carry a survival kit in your vehicle.

Old logging roads used to get me into some amazing fishing streams.

My uncle had a lease on land in lumber country at the tip of Maine sixty miles from the nearest paved road on which he built a hunting and fishing cabin. One day he and I learned that certain lumbermen up there don't like the idea of "civilians" using their roads, which we were legally entitled to do. Early in the day on our way to a lake to fish, we drove through their work area without incident or conflict; however, on the way back at the end of the day we came upon a huge pile of logs they had placed across the road miles from the cabin in an attempt to keep us from making it back. Fortunately, after several hours of work in the dark we were able to clear enough space to get through. Bastids!

No kidding! I’ll bet Cartman could go 2 weeks on Cheesy Poofs and GS cookies if you let him sit in front of a TV long enough!

How good are your survival skills when you are driving down the road in your SUV, and getting stuck means that you just sit in the car and die?

Sure you can go for three weeks without food. If you want to destroy your health.

Three days without water will leave you with serious life time problems and three minutes without air will likely result in serious brain damage.
