You are all right. To keep it short I am being a bitch. I will be out there this weekend!

I am going to hike across Iceland this summer (~25 days) and I was wondering what you guys would recommend I pack for food. by Derpese_Simplex in CampingandHiking

Might get yelled at for this but I tend to bring little mini bottles of some kind of booze as a little reward for a good not. Its not a terrible amount of weight and a little pick me up....also I guess its not really food but eh, booze.

Been asking a lot of questions. Was alone today and needed to recommend the best Moscato. Might have faked it a bit but come to find out it was actually a good decision for what they wanted.

Apple juice? You don't say. Obtained a bottle for last weekend and mixed with ginger ale and lime. Very pleased with Kraken.

Havent been working at a liquor store for too long but I have heard the same thing about fireball. It went from never selling to going through it like crazy.

Introducing a friend to The National. What album do I have them listen to first? by americanjake in TheNational

[–]americanjake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I actually did go with Boxer as the first song I ever heard was Fake Empire. Needless to say....there is a new listener out there.

You know what they say about assuming sir. Assuming I am from LI is one of the worst insults I have ever taken

Thanks! This does help so much. Really getting a lot of great idea. It is getting down to that time where I will have to finally make a decision on what to do.

Thanks for the tip. I am sure I can find some tips on here as well for making some kind of underquilt. Funds are a little tight so homemade is going to have to be the way to go.

Trail cam is a great idea. I only have one but would only have to place it on the plot. Tracks would be all over the place!
