    Im limited by work and the petting zoo when i try to get out to the woods. This last weekend a bcusa member and i took a short overnighter to a section of the Buffalo River.
    The hike in is approximately 4.5 miles with an elevation drop of about 1,350 feet.

    I stole some of his pictures to put on here. Unfortunately, he took several of me because he was interested in what could be done with cheap equipment and a good knife. ( The Esee 5 I liberated from @Odinborn is featured)
    Forgive my mug, I'll try to get some scenery pictures posted next. But proof I do try to get out!
    We started out with a dusting of snow and about 28 degrees. That night by the water it got down in the low 20s.

    Very cool glad you got out. I staffed a fish and wildlife merit badge with the Boy Scouts and the crab orchard wildlife refuge... it was fun! It’s all about getting out and having fun!

    Awesome!!! I need to get out soon and get my head clear again.

    Never be ashamed to show your mug - especially photos that show you "in your element" doing something you love to do. I would much rather see REAL candid photos than staged selfies or narcissistic Facebook posts from the "look at me" generation. :)

    Thanks for sharing with us @Black5!
