re: Maurapas wma

I used to have to cruise timber in that shite every day. I find it easier to get turned around in places like that (with ridges) than in the swamp. At least I can read the ground and trees in the swamp to figure out where I'm at. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up anywhere near hills, but idk.

Absolute worst day I ever had was in Thistlewaite cruising hardwood timber in knee deep water with palmettos taller than my head. They were thick as hell and it was just about as hard as walking through a yaupon thicket for 8 hours. Couldn't see 5 feet in front of me, and was walking using a compass alone. I could only see palmettos and the top half of trees. I grossly underestimated that day and almost called it a night and slept in the woods. Got back to the wheeler right around dark and started throwing up from exhaustion and dehydration. It was not fun
