those are some great pics, except that one of you in your misery.

No wonder you were beat. You had ORBs floating around sucking all your energy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Does, The Kid, by chance have conversations with people you can't see?<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Great pics bro, where is your canine buddy though ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I applaud ya for using that great hunk 'o' steel instead of just sticking it into a safe like 90% of them will be.....great stuff !!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Beautiful country up there, northern1. Thanks for the pics. I can understand being exhausted after carrying the NMFBM 8 miles!

not much of a fisher although i'd like to get back into it,especially with a BDLE to use.i find down state to be better for the deer and did go bear hunting once.it was only me and 900 other bear hunters in the woods that day...lol.

"the kid" is named riley.i dont know why i call him "the kid" but its how i always refer to him unless i'm talking to someone who actually knows him or to him directly but actually i dont even call him riley i call him bubby or bear and have no idea why either.

oh yeah,and them "orbes"....lol,are obviously a testament to the damp weather.we where pretty soaked by the time we got to the car but it wasnt directly from the rain,it was from rubbing and brushing up against all the wet foliage that was along the trail.

i will try one more trip this fall,maybe by myself,maybe not and i definitely plan on getting some winter camping in once the snow comes.wait till you see them pics.we might not be the coldest but we get some serious lake effect snow around here.

most of the pics are blocked. all I can see is your son and pack. the pack looks decent?? sounds like hard work. did your son get to use the big one? sounds like you have a good kid.

Good for you northern1!
get out there and use that thing!

Your son is lucky man!
I don't get to do anything with my dad, and it sucks.
Quality time with family is just great.

Hahah, ted you have a great eye and too much time on your hands. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> In HD's thread, you also pointed out that abnormally large man in the background.

not sure what your looking to see since its just woods all around.i put him in the boulder pics for a size reference.the ones on the trail he's in the pic because that is what was in front of me.not sure what you mean here.

the pack is a northface pack and works great for his size.i only wish it had a waist belt for him.its hard to find good gear like water proof boots,rain gear and packs for kids.

he has held "THE BIG ONE" when i first got it and i would've very carefully and observantly let him chop at something lying diagonal to him but he's jaded to knives.he does get a kick out of some of their names like DUMPSTERMUTT,NUCLEAR MELTDOWN FUSION BATTLE MISTRESS,FAT FLAT FUSION BATTLE MISTRESS,DOGFATHER and stuff like that and yeah,he's a real good kid that does real good at school and never gets in trouble at the house or anywhere else and he's naturally happy so he's really the opposite of me......few.

Thanks for posting the pics. Looks like a great time...

More fathers taking their sons out in the woods!!!! Great Stuff. Thanks for sharing! Looks like your boy had a good time ... you, on the other hand, look pretty beat-up.


You should contact Mel. He will take care of you.

There is nothing better than spending time with the kido. A good dad you are and building memories that he will have all his life. Good for you. I raise my glass
