  3. Actually I've done some survival training and I maintain this guy is a complete and utter moron.
  4. not really in a carrier we are too high fro the waterline but I heard on smaller naval ship they were able to do some deep sea fishing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isnt there a spot much lower on the boat where you launch ships to shore from? How is the nightlife on Guam? Post some picks!!!
  5. GEOGRAPHY Big Island has an area of more than 4,028 square miles with 266 miles of coastline (93 miles long by 76 miles wide). Can someone explain how this idiot got lost? If he was "an experienced" hiker how did he get lost....then there is also the fact that someone could probably WALK the entire width of the island in 3 days and the length in 4 days. Sure water was an issue but lets face it those lava fields were not not 93 or even 76 miles wide/long. Pick a direction and walk.....
  6. Hiker Survives Five Days in Lava Field Sun Jul 24, 2:05 PM ET WAIMEA, Hawaii - A hiker lost for five days in a lava field near a volcano says he survived by drinking water he squeezed from moss in a mostly barren landscape. Gilbert Dewey Gaedcke III, 41, was rescued Friday afternoon after a teenager on a helicopter tour spotted him stumbling across the rocky lava, trying to attract attention with a mirror from his camera. Gaedcke had been missing since Sunday night, when he decided to take a hike across desolate lava fields near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to get a closer look at an active volcano. The experienced hiker from Austin, Texas, said he saw no water, but there were pockets of jungle-like vegetation sprinkled throughout the old lava flow. Gaedcke said he crawled beneath the vines and lick moisture off leaves. Then he found moss growing on trees, and was able to squeeze enough water from it to drink. "It was muddy, green, mossy water, but it worked," he said Saturday. "If I hadn't found that I'd be dead right now," he said. Gaedcke said tour helicopters had flown overhead all week, but he was unable to attract attention because clouds blocked the sun. Then, late Friday afternoon, another one flew over. Aboard was 15-year-old Peter Frank, who spotted the odd glint in the late afternoon sunlight. "It was the only thing like that out there," said Frank, of Pasadena, Calif. "As we got closer we realized it was a man." Gaedcke, dehydrated, but otherwise OK after surviving five days in the heat, was lost amid acres of blackened volcanic rock. "I wound up on some of the most vicious terrain I've ever seen," he said as he rested at a friend's home before flying home. "It's all gray rock — terrible stuff — then vegetation like an oasis, then more gray rock." Gaedcke's rented car had been found days earlier at the end of a road near an old lava flow bordering the east side of the 333,000-acre national park. Police had few leads to follow. Fire crews and rangers from the park searched for days on foot and on horseback. Helicopters buzzed the area, but there was no sign of Gaedcke. Then, Frank spotted what looked like a toy pinwheel glinting in the sunlight. His mother, Diann Kim, said her son asked Blue Hawaiian Helicopters pilot Cliff Muzzi to get a closer look. "As we got closer you could see the man flashing a mirror and waving a dark orange fabric," she said. "As he was coming down the path, clearly he couldn't move that well." Kim's daughter, Hannah, and a friend wrapped bottles of water in airsickness bags to drop to the distressed hiker. "It was so amazing," Kim said. "To see a person out there was like seeing a person on the face of the moon. After returning his passengers to Hilo International Airport, Muzzi headed back to retrieve Gaedcke, then whisked him back to the airport about 17 miles to the northeast. Medical crews were waiting to take him to Hilo Medical Center. Gaedcke said he saw the bright glow of the lava and then turned to go back to his car, but missed it as he walked in the dark. He hiked inland, expecting to intersect with the road, but by morning, he was lost. "My feet feel like I had a 30-day adventure," he said. "And if it weren't for my feet, I'd be dancing a jig right now."
  7. You guys ever fish off the side of the ship where ya launch boats to shore?? Always wondered whether you guys got to do that.

  21. Or perhaps he is a Master.....come to take Wolf on as Apprentice! If thats the case think he can get Wolf to shower?
  22. What client ya using? You playing in Catskills still using the user defined path that goes to ML, or did you not install ML? If you are using the user defined path I would bet that if you point it back to asking you 2d or 3d client so that it loads from the SE client you wont have the same issues. Haven't tried this myself but that is where I would start.
  23. Thats why you need to barbeque. Barbeque and Grilling is not the same thing. Grilling is over a direct heat source and relatively quick. Barbeque or smoking is a nice slow process away from any direct heat and oh so yummy. You get no char just nice tender meat with a great flavor. I got my Brinkman Pitmaster Deluxe for Father's Day and couldnt be happier. Sure I still grill some burgers and dogs but gimmie a brisket or ev en a bunch of chicken and Ill slow cook it and smoke it. With the capacity to cook 110 lbs of meat noone goes hungry when I host a party! Bout the only thing I cant do on this grill is rotisserie but thats why the 'ol Weber is tucked away under the deck. Oh yeah and note the smoke that reportedly "causes" cancer from grilling is from fat that drips down not woodchips!
  24. Tok has gone soft! Pretty good premiers.... Any ideas who was shooting at the survivors on Cobol? I doubt it was Cylons.
