Arson, you rogue hammocker, you. Setting up illegal campsites. LOL Frankly, it is an established campsite, as you mention. If DNR asked you to break camp and move, you would have. It really does look like a natural “fabulous site”, on a small peninsula of trees or something. Likely has been used by hikers for decades.

Hey, I gotta say, the video is superb. And I really enjoy your youtube gear reviews. I have a Kelty Noah-9 and especially liked that vid.

Thanks for posting.

Great Report! Thaks for sharing, did the NCT-MRT loop last year, found tons of trash, has to do with the proximity to the roads and people walking in to camp.

I looked at your trip report a few days ago and it was superb. I just finished watching the two "Pimping My Mora" videos. They are excellent! If I can be so bold as to suggest. Many more people would see them if you posted them the Cutlery section here on the forums. I understand the tie in with your trip report. But I think the videos would stand on there own accord in the cutlery section also. Just my 2 cents! At any rate I really appreciate them as I do all your videos.

Hey Arson, I really liked your river video. Cool soundtrack too

Man that knife you made is really nice. I love the handle and how you coloured and shaped it, very impressive. My brother made me a machete handle out of cherry...it's pretty cool to have homemade stuff like that, gives you a tonne of personal satisfaction when your out in the bush using things you made...or as in my case, my brother made for me

I just bought some special dye that works on synthetic material, and darkened up my noah 12. It turned out great. I like the tarp, but never really warmed up to the color.

That must be in the donating members section. I don't get to go there. Some of my posts have been moved to that section and I was told I need to "donate" in order to view or reply to my posts, so I just stay out here with everyone else.
