2 weeks while in tents outside of Adana, Turkey while in the Marines. Foul isn't a dirty enough word.

You will build. A year and a half ago I started running on Monday mornings. First run was just 30 minutes, I ran an 11:20 pace. 4 weeks later I ran 3 miles at a 9:13 pace from only running once per week on Mondays for ~30 minutes.

2 months later I ran a 10k with a 9:24 pace. I lost 15 stubborn pounds along the way. If you want to run just do it, don't even listen to anybody else if that is what you want to do. You do the experiment and report back to us.

No deer hunting on Elbow Slough. And its only 160 acres, if you walked 3/4 of a mile you were.on Priiiiiiiiiiiiivate property. Not good

Lots of ways you can go, I have done them all. Hunted exclusively out of a saddle the last 3 years, rappelling/one-sticking to boot. Shot one out of my Treewalker Climber last weekend. Climbers are great in pine woods.

My advice would be a Millennium M7 with the sticks of your choice and an XOP Holiday Harness. Use a 2 or 3 step aider on the first stick for some extra height. I like Beast sticks.

Just came here to say it is not too late or too low class to turn wrenches. No degree here and life turned out great!

Yeti buckets. Laugh if you want, but I had a gift card and had no idea what to spend it on. Picked up a Yeti bucket and I can't tell you how much I love that bucket. Food grade rated too.

And trust me, people with Lowe's and Home Depot buckets are super jealous.

Looks just like her, artist nailed it

I can get as high as I want to get either with 4 sticks or with only 1. When I carry my 4 Beast sticks I have one 3 step aider that stays on the bottom stick. That let's me get the first step up pretty high. Then I use a Backwoods Versa-Aider, it's very cool. You basically clip it to your belt and cinch the other end around your foot. I space the remaining sticks out enough where I can lift my knee up and get the aider loop around the button on the stick. Lets me add an extra step height between sticks.

Caveat's to this though, I don't come down the same way. I would have no problem coming down with the versa-aider, but I don't like climbing down a rope aider, especially in the dark. I rappel down. Much easier and faster.

I've one-sticked in places I didn't feel like carrying 4 sticks or if I really wanted to get high. I have a 40ft rappel rope and last year I had the end 5ft off the ground. I was about 35ft high and only used 1 stick with a 3 step aider. Takes more physical exertion, but it's cool when you are that high and the tree below you has no sticks on it. To clarify I do this same method whether it is a saddle platform or hang on stand.

When I went to Jamiaca I swear they had the finest woman on the whole island greeting you when you got off the plane. My shuttle driver said I'll swim to Cuba and back for a sniff of that mon.

I kind of wondered what she would run in the 100.
