Given a choice between "Hemingway" and "Lance, the writer", my guess is that the man would prefer the latter?

BUt se4riously, (leave the typo, fer cripes sakes)

Steve makes a good point. I worry about barbed wire, and mostly cactus and mesquite thorns. You get enough tumbleweed mixed up in your ghillie suit and you'll never get it unsnagged.

Good hunting. LB

Thanks, Rich. And special PUBLIC thanks to Bob Uniek and Karl Saknit for their contributions. I hope we were able to answer some of the questions frequently addressed on forums like this one about using ghillies. As far as barbed wire goes... step high, very high. Me? I put mine on only AFTER I've crossed the fence. I learned my lesson this past spring. Second time telling this story, but it's funny enough to hear twice. I was working a complaint and had hiked in and sat down through and in dew-laden bluestem grass. I was awfully wet when I headed back out. I had to cross an electrified single strand of barbed wire that was only about a foot or so off the ground. One leg over, then the other. Mid-stride, I see the garnish from my poncho hang up on one barb. So, I think to myself, "I wonder... is this fence hoWHAM!!!!!!!" The first pulse hits me. Never stuck around for a second. Had this funny twitch all the way back to the truck. [Smile]

Thanks again, Rich, and all.

I guess I have to get that one? Maybe I'll suscribe? Does it talk about how to avoid chambering a piece of burlap on that hasty second shot?

Good hunting. LB
