reevesr1 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Um, excuse me SDL- WTF is a yellow TFO doing in one of those pictures? Stealing my trademark! Looks fantastic! I especially love the fact that you had limited wt you could bring, but still had 3 flats of beer! Awesome. Quote

ÜberFly Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 P P.S. Except when your drunk fishing buddy drinks all the beers you brought and you come back to the truck expecting to have a nice cold one and there ain't any left!! one can of beer weighs 13.1 ounces (the empty can weighs 0.53 ounces) 13.1x24=314.4 ounces The cardboard box the flat comes in weighs 7 ounces 314.4+7=321.4 16 ounces per pound 321.4/16=20.08 pounds/flat 3 Flats * 20.08lbs/flat = 60.24lbs Heli weight tarrif @ $1.00/lb of gear = $ $60.24 for beer Cost of beer per flat $38.82 * 3 flats = $116.46 Total cost of beer = $176.70 Cost per beer = $2.45/ beer A cold beer after heli fishing all day --- PRICELESS Quote
Simpson Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Also noticed a great example of what random camping SHOULD be. Not a trace left to know you were even there. Thanks for the compliment. Can honestly say this is the first place I have been in the bush that I was unable to see a single peice of garbage! Not a bottle cap or peice paper ... Pretty refreshing! Quote
Simpson Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Few pics from my end. Also made a new friend on this trip, his name was scotch! Thanks Andy! Quote
