Pre-trip Preparation

[scatman]

food pics remind me of the time I did the shopping for a backpack at Whole Foods and the checker said something to me like "I didn't realize you could find that much junk food here"

That junk food is going to save my bacon.

Time out!

"Pre-trip Preparation" is redundant. "Trip Preparation" would be concise. Please make a note of it.

You see what's all in those packs and you're asking these guys to be concise?

Noted. But redundancy is a good thing in my book. Besides, it distinguishes it from my post-trip preparations. I think I might be digging a deeper hole.

Redundancy is best when it applies to things like Chocolonely.

Plenty of redundancy there. I think I've finished off one of those bars that I bought.

This is one of those trips were it doesn't pay to be point man, due to the wrath of the grizzlies.

If Pre-trip Preparation is redundant, what do you do with @scatman's Pre-Trip Trip Reports?

I chew them up and spit them out.

The redundancy police are after me Skipper. I may have to take Dooley and ride off into the sunset and renew my outlaw status.

Dooley's busy helping a pack of bears get ready for your trip. No idea what that entails that would require a mule.

Those bears are going to be thick as molasses back in there Skipper. What do you think they are up to?

 

[Rockskipper]

They're working on a book on how to break into vehicles...and bear sacks. It's a big collaboration with some Yosemite bears.

ETA:I think you guys are part of their plans for the illustrations pages.

Is this like a coffee table book? Will I be seeing some royalties?

I dunno. Dooley handled all that part and you know how challenged mules can be with math and all. If it's an equation they can fit into how many knots needed to tie on a pack, they're good, if not, well...

I'm back from my WV trip and I got a chance to prepare for the @scatman mudfest



The beavers are taking over the Dolly Sods

Guess what - it's RAINING in Yellowstone as I write this.
