Some people never out grow the natural narcissism of adolescence.
Yeah, put binoculars, firearm, bow, hunting boots, truck, etc... away, man up and go out there butt naked as you came into the world and be sporting about your hunt. There is a difference between tough and stupid, risk taking and fool hardiness. A radio that weighs a few ounces, a compass, a first aid kit... Our ability to utilize tools is what puts us at the top of the food chain. WM, I'm assuming you don't take any first aid items and if you ever break a leg you'll be the man and set the thing yourself rather than utilize reasonable resources like medical professionals...
Good on ya Slamdunk for trying to do a good thing.
