Be Careful In The Backcountry

[theleo]

I wear my wife’s baby blue crocs because I’m to lazy to buy my own. Always good for a few wise  cracks from the peanut gallery. Needless to say they’re only the 2 wheel drive model.

They don’t even have the straps???
That’s like buying a 2wd Jeep. What the heck.

Do they make 2wd jeeps? For that matter, why do they even make 2wd pickups? What a waste of money.

A waste of money like buying crocs to wear hunting. Yuppies buying yuppie stuff. Things they do don't always make sense to the common folk.

Ya know I used to wear moccasins alot. The guy who shears my sheep spent many years living on the Falkland Islands and he comes to my house wearing regular shoes. Then he sits down and takes them off and gets out his favorite "moccasin looking" shoes that are handmade on the Falkands by herders and he prefers to wear them while he is shearing. He is getting up in his yrs and it must be the memories he has of the islands. He said someone he knows there sent him this pair about three yrs ago as a gift and he cherishes them. He once could shear a hundred sheep a day when he was young. But those shoes are so neat to me and the story behind them! Lol

Real men hunt in their Crocks and underwear.

It's just cooler.

As soon as Kuiu comes out with a cup holder for their bags that's convenient for Starbucks cups, you yuppies will have it made. 

That one burned deep.

Is this close enough?

I don't run the KUIU stuff.

You're getting there.
It's fun to pick on the backpacking crowd. Packed a bull for some friends the other day. Made it to their camp the night before, got to the elk the next day, got it loaded, and got back to the trail head. 24 hour turn around from leaving the pickup to getting back to it. Anyway, the morning I woke up in their camp, the reaction to me opening a can of pop I had in my saddle bags was pretty comical. Some of us just aren't built to be part of the croc wearing, one with nature, crowd. We just prefer a more comfortable standard of living.

How about one of these to go with your yuppie stuff!?

Crocs are for everyone. Not sure where you guys got the idea that they are for hippies and yuppies.

Would I hike for miles in crocs? Heck no but they are good for walking around river areas.

Anyways here is the bear I took in crocs and shorts with a 12 gauge.

  Your backyard must be crazy!

We are totally joking and basically hijacked his thread. Back to the injury!

It’s all good, plus the thread went sideways about 3 pages ago.lol

Yeah I wasn't joking about my grass injury. It totally looked like my toe was gonna be lost but it healed without infection. I had to be diligent about changing gauze and keeping ointment on it though. Keep two toes taped together too! It helped me from pulling the wound open accidentally.

I’m doing the same with the ointment and gauze. The ointment also helps to keep the gauze from sticking. I taped the two toes together When I hiked out, it helped a lot.

They used to. Guess I broke the 4wd one day, never repaired it. Probably just poor maintenance,  or maybe taking them to areas beyond there capabilities.

Sounds to me like some of you aren’t tough enough to not have cans of pop in camp
