I can take pictures but not of Dave. No videos allowed at all except by the Pathfinder crew : ( Dave does however post pictures and videos of his classes and posts them to Facebook. I know we have...

Really looking forward to this. I have back issues that are getting worse and really want to learn to travel in the woods with only the bare minimum. I think this is the ticket. I've been following...

Hey folks, My son and I are attending the Advanced Pathfinder class with Dave Canterbury Oct. 7-10 2011. The absolute location is not disclosed at this time but will be somewhere in or around the...

Last Aug. My oldest son and I did a trip down the Ocklawaha River . I was surprised at how tolerable the heat was for that time of year. Being close to the cool river really seems to make a...

Thanks for the info folks! Sorry I haven't responded until now but as I said in my original post, Ive been working out of town and have no internet access.

Howdy folks, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good light weight system for hanging a hammock without using trees. What I'm looking for is a light system of poles that can be rigged easily. I...

Been very busy with domestic duties and have gotten very familiar with the "stink eye" that zukiguy refers too. Hope you guys have a great time, really wish I could go.

Many of you are still at Buck Lake as I write this but I couldn't wait to say thank you! Typically my outdoor activities are solitary events because few people that I know are into the things that I...

I have had a Clark NX-250 for about 5 months and have used it in the swamps and dry scrub forests of Florida to an ice cold outing at the top of Blood Mountain Georgia this past Dec. So far it's the...

How about 2 stainless steel uninsulated bottles one for your back and one for the front?

I did the same thing with a non-insulated stainless steel bottle . The temps were way below freezing (probably in the teens) I have no under quilt just a self inflating pad and a 30* bag. That hot...

Not that I'm whining about the cold "being from the Tampa Bay area, Florida" but, we have been getting incredibly cold temperatures very early in the year for us. Many nights of below freezing temps....

The last time I looked there was access to the FT at or near Juniper Springs. Though that was many years ago. I just checked the mileage on Google Earth and its 6.6 miles as the crow flies. Also I...

I have to agree with a lot of the folks who posted here. Once I confronted and overcame my fears of being alone in the woods I began to thoroughly enjoy time alone in the wilderness. By far the best...

You dont have to feed an underquilt, an underquilt won't poop on your hammock underquilts are lighter than hens, underquilts don't cluck all night. But an underquilt won't lay an egg for ya for...

I'm a newbie from the Tampa Bay area as well. Also into kayak building and camping.

I used a space blanket ( the good kind with the plastic backing ) with a wool blanket on top of that. I used a 30 deg bag and I was comfortable enough to get a good nights sleep. I did have to...

I think this section of the forest is called Annutehela . This spot would be a great place for a larger group. There are 3 fire rings with a picnic table within a large somewhat open area. Looks to...

Did a solo hang just outside of Brooksville this weekend. Was doing good till the coyotes started howling at 2:00 a.m.. Laid awake for awhile till I had to take a visit to the bushes...and my god it...

I WANNA GOOO!!! ; ) Let me know who to pay! And would be glad to kick in a bit for the northern group. I need details.

My family and I spent the weekend in the Withlacoochee Forest last winter, temp 16 deg F by 4:00 a.m.. There was sleet collecting on our tents and was by far the most interesting trip I have ever had...

Hey guys, I saw this post just a little too late I guess. I would definitely be interested in a trip to the Ocala Forest. I have spent a good bit of time out there, last trip was in August, 2010. My...

Howdy folks, My name is Scott you can call me Woodman, or Scott or anything else you want. I can't think of anything I haven't been called and did'nt answer too. :) Pleased to sorta meet you all. I...
