Subject: Lone Ranger & Tonto The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent set up, they fell sound asleep. Some hours later, the Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend and says, "Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" asked The Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute, then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorlogically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What it tell you, Kemo Sabi?" The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then says, "Tonto, you dumbass, someone has stolen our tent!" Mike Torst camping A16 rider Las Vegas [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Excellent joke. I take it the meds are working now. 8 days and the Imperial Valley and Yuma, AZ will once again be rid of the dreaded scourge of doves. Buddy

-----reply------------------------------------- Seriously - for a small bit of weather protection, and a small bit of weight on the ride, and for the armed members of this group, about 3 seconds of 'notice' that something, or someone, is one your ass with intent to 'eat/harm'.... I'll take my tent over direct involvement with predators via an open sleeping bag, in most cases. Hey, lets all lighten up -(happy face) I expect that many persons on this list camp in predator free and evil-human free zones. Please post your secure camping GPS coordinates site list, and don't forget to link them to your 100% security policy. (happy face) You can't do it.

Actually, you're less likely to be bothered by bears or other wild animals if you're in a tent (as long as you leave your food in a bear bag or canister *OUTSIDE* the tent, well away from it!). There's some research on the subject done by biologist types. Personally, I bother with a tent only if the weather requires it or it's a forest where there's a lot of insect life to keep off of me, and my tent is very much a minimalist type of tent (single wall, 3 pounds), but a lot of that is sheer laziness -- it's a lot easier to slap a ground sheet down, move a few rocks to keep its corners down, plop down sleeping pad and sleeping bag, and go to sleep right there, without the fuss of staking out a tent. This, BTW, is why I bought a KLR -- all the best trailheads are at the ends of fire roads that are way too rugged for anything short of a tricked-out Jeep or a KLR, and a KLR is a heckuva lot cheaper! Too bad my KLR had a flat tire last weekend, I really wanted to head for the hills (literally).... oh well, at least it went flat within 10 miles of home, rather than in the middle of nowhere! -E

When mosquitoes are what you are afraid of then they make a very big difference. On and I tend to fear torrential rain while I am trying to sleep. -- Doug Herr doug@...

I don't feel safer in a tent, just less skeeter/fly/spider/-bit, and sometimes a lot warmer and drier. And other times less sandy and windblown. __Arden --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "klr6501995" wrote: > And after the first line I knew it was BUGUS. > Camping and using a tent... > > Tents are like SUV'S, you FEEL safer but arn't !!! > > --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "mike torst" > wrote: > > > > > > Subject: Lone Ranger & Tonto > > > > The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert.

Seriously, My longest civilian campout was 3.5 months from Modesto Ca. to Jax Fl. W/o tent. Traveled by bicycle. A tent in the rain is only sensisble. Except maybe in the deep south during the summer, where actually sleeping wet was nice and cool. Even "camping" in central america I chose to camp outside the tent. Pissed the C/O off until I sounded the alarm first. Watch out for that racoon; he is a sneaky wise bastad. And will undo your best knot if he thinks you arn't watching.Open one eye he stops.close it and peek he starts. Scorpians never cross over onto the 8x8 ground sheet. They like the dark. Rattle snake, well just be cool, he'll leave your bag at high noon. Bear, he has no fear. Best to see him while he sees you. Spider, I just shit my pants and that makes him leave. Even today after close to 1000 nights out in the woods, it takes me 2- 3 nights to get used to the nocturnal noises. I sleep better outside, esp if it's a different site every night. Different lumps on the ground etc. Plus being wore out. I would not trade the stellar sites I have seen when waking up in the middle of night. I like astronomy and have seen things I would never have if I were in a tent. We humans were built very well for the outdoors. Staying in the same spot a tent is a nice touch. Give it a try. Was a good joke though .

Umm, Not to get all new age and karmic, wich I ain't by far... way to the right. But I do swear that in nature that there seems to be a unspoken rule (as if animals can talk) that you don't f__ck w/ a sleeping animal. I reason it as to why unfriendly animals can hibernate w/ eachother or seek shelter from disaster together.] Sure if I smell like food or daisies or whatever shampoo I used I could get tossed by a bear. After all my camping I'll stick w/ what I've experienced. YMMV. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, Eric Lee Green wrote:

From The Great White North, The local bears here don't care what you wrap yourself in when you sleep. They also like a little pepper spray on the burrito's, California wraps or sleeping bags, whichever you to chose to call these various wrappers.
