With school not starting for a few more days, I decided to take a ski adventure into the mountains.  The plan was to drive up FR 517 until the snow stopped the truck and skin from there.  Also part of the plan was to build a snow shelter, camp for the night, skin up some more and [...]

I’m a trusting guy.  So when I see a trail on a map I tend to believe it exists in real life.  Although I should of known better seeing it was put together by a government entity.  Bottom line, I lost the trail at no fault of my orienteering skills (I think) and ended up [...]

For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would ever go with a 4.7.

It’s May, the birds are chirping, flower are bloomin, and it’s time to go skiing this morning.  On the snow by 8 I toured up a ridge.  A veritable ghost-town.  No other cars on the highway and no snowmobiles to be heard.  I had the mountains to myself.  About 200 yards up the hill I [...]

….then take out a PayDay loan and bribe the longshoremen to give you another ship.  I think that’s how the old time saying goes.  Times are tough.  So tough in fact that I ‘ve decided to turn my empty dinner place setting into useful tools to actually put food on the table.  My first attempt [...]

No I’m not talking about lining my roof with 50K in solar panels so I can save 1k a year in power.  I’m setting out on foot and leaving this world behind…at least for 6 days.  Destination is wherever my machete guides me.  I’ll likely be battling apex predators atop granite cliffs while a storm [...]

I’m going green with going green.  The buzzwords of the eco-friendly movement are driving me bonkers.  It was cool when going green meant wearing Birkenstocks, not bathing for weeks, and growing your own crops of hashish but now everyone and their dog seems to be turning a shade of green.  Hell, even my Dookie Howser [...]

In a fishing book I once read that the Southeast Arm of Lake Yellowstone was the most remote place in the Lower 48, aka paradise.  My mind instantly filled with images of apex predators establishing dominance by means of maximum carnage.  As I close my eyes I see, Grizzlies Greco Roman wrestling over a 1,000 [...]

In hindsight my last post titled “Deforestation” might have been posted in bad taste.  After all it was Earth Day Eve, and here I am ripping the limbs off trees like Sage rips spines in AK.  We here at Aquapasture.com didn’t mean to mock Earth Day Eve.  Please accept our apology video message.

The year was 1994 and David Ball catapulted to #2 on the charts with “Thinkin Problem”  While it was a money song I refrain from calling Ball a one hit wonder.  I only classify hits as reaching #1 on the charts.  I mention this tune because I have a thinkin problem, although it isn’t about [...]
