He is a man of Integrity, personal courage, commitment, honor, selfless service, and the ability to make a bomb out of 2 sticks, a piece of bubble gum, the other end of a match, a filed down striking plate, and a wet fart, but else would you expect for an Army Infantry man! Drive on mitch! and those who believe that he couldn't stalk you for months just to scare the shit out of you for talking like assholes...well your wrong, but he wouldn't do that unless you deserved it! and anonymous person! what the hell kind of hater goes on a website and bashes someone with a bunch of ridiculous bullshit like that! the guy is living his life! hes a really good dad! just a man living! i think you need to take a hike off a dam bridge!

There is only one perso...Anonymous person right?... There is only one person that would say that stuff. My daughter is doing great, Tonight is the first night i posted any videos, and get over the fact that i kept your bed... I had to throw mine out when you moved in and you cost me way more than what your bed was worth. I took the Ipad for positive plant I.D. and because i could download books to read. My daughter had school. So she couldn't come Sue! Just think, i saved you from drowning in icy waters, in the middle of winter, after you wrecked your car drunk, and you still hate me. You remember that? I told you that water cold would take the breath out of you. You froze up like a statue! Lol, its okay. Happens to almost everyone the first time. Should i go on about all the other stuff i done for you? Im glad to know you still care, cause if you didn't care you would not have taken the time to write this. Don't judge what you do not understand. That would be me. The trail was great by the way. Too bad you didn't have the chance to come. Jarrod made the facebook page by the way, not me. Nick, who works making professional videos on the trail is the one that wanted to film some of the stuff i did, i never asked him to. I have a book for you by the way, since you been asking me how to start a business sue. I called n told your dad. Ill drop it off with him. Good luck with your business you want to start and thanks for speaking so highly of me.machete mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719662927196643263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-60632808038202775052012-07-09T20:17:50.899-04:002012-07-09T20:17:50.899-04:00who else goes camping with an iPad? I mean really....who else goes camping with an iPad? I mean really.....he gets off on making people think he's some crazy, outgoing, adventure-seeking awesome guy but he's really just a F-ing bum who is desperate for attention. Brought an iPad so he could videotape himself.....he has his own facebook page, actually facbook PUBLIC FIGURE page. Definately needs some help.......has a "business" (if you want to call it that) but he cares more about posting videos of himself for attention than upkeeping his business site. look him up on facebook. I know him better than anyone else. I'm SOOOO disgusted with him i couldn't resist saying something even though no one has talked about this for a few months. Must be nice to decide you are lazy and don't want to work or pay bills or take care of your kid you're rather run away and play in the woods for a few months......all while posting videos/pics of yourself and keeping a detailed facebook page. Sad.

I don't want the bear to carry...Define Crazy... I don't want the bear to carry my pack. Hell, there ant much in it anyway... I just wouldn't mind having the same bear around for longer than 5 min. They are a lot like dogs, but bigger, with claws. They are a lot like raccoons to tell you the truth and i had one of them with me when i was on a 30 day camping trip, with no resupply. My hand writing is kinda bad. I was saying that i am not burring people in that note, or killing them. The part about the the pack and the bear, i was saying i wouldn't want to carry a pack a bear would need if it had one. Are you sure it was the same person you saw? Im 5'6" and weigh 157lbs. Think you have to weigh a bit more than that for bitch tits. Sounds like the person you are talking about was a friend of mine. I was tired of people bothering me, and i wanted to see what others were saying about me. Thats hard to do when people know who you are. I know this guy Jeff. I want him to come down here actually. He is 5'4" and maybe 130lbs. He has 5 justifiable homicides and he is small. Smart with wilderness stuff though. Best hunter i know. Even better than the people I learned from. You would never guess he could kill 5 people from the looks of him. The only people i even talk to while walking at night are the ones that already met and know me. I do this assuming that, that person already told others around them that i am not hurting people. Stories were more true before i met tigger, an abandon girl that was hurt. Two from the group that left her started the bad roomers cause i chose to help her. When i was in the military, we followed this oath to never leave a fallen comrade. Funny, cause one in that group was military. My guess is that he was a soft skill kind. Weak people, half people... I don't leave people that are hurt and people are safe around me. You can ask craftsman or Rjoe. I left the trail to explore for a bit with them. I didn't leave them when they were washing over a waterfall, or when craftsman was going through hypothermia. I even made him a fire and some coffee to help him out. The stories of me ripping open tents, i guess, is from when i come out of the brush to tell someone not to camp in a spot cause it could flood. The wood was going to be hard to light too cause it was damp and in low ground. I went to jail with Rjoe just to make sure they didn't keep him in there when we were in gatlinburg tn. I'm just looking for fun stuff to do. The trail is just there for me to follow when i want an easy on the mind day. Using a compass or other land navigation methods, i can go without sometime. Im not here to race, or kill people. I'm here for the freedom the wild provides. Shelter Stew is cool and his eyes don't seem too far apart. He has thoughts and ideas that are outside of the box. I like people like that. If any one of you want to explore or try something new, chances are ill join in Matt. Thats how you learn new stuff. I learned how to pan for gold for example. I can go on but im tired. Have fun n ill see u all around, even if none of you see me.machete mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719662927196643263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-26623761246294421192012-04-09T20:39:22.411-04:002012-04-09T20:39:22.411-04:00The stories have definitely been crazy and are ong...The stories have definitely been crazy and are ongoing!Matt Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756554018934584258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-35381770556474150672012-04-06T17:16:35.455-04:002012-04-06T17:16:35.455-04:00Hey Matt!

If they move to the edge of the cup quickly you can expect clear skies for the next 12 hours, if they hang out in the center expect rain in the next 12 hours, and if the bubbles move slowly to the edge you may get a bit of weather, but it will clear soon.<br />This trick came from a long ago issue of Backpacker Magazine. If you're out camping without an internet connection it may come in handy someday (test this!)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718129957248603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-74246112717358617072012-03-26T09:26:56.249-04:002012-03-26T09:26:56.249-04:00Just wait until he gets you in the woods, he might...Just wait until he gets you in the woods, he might make you squeel like a pig and be his pack mule, Joking of course.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053803434904024205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-14764559073447887512012-03-24T20:35:43.301-04:002012-03-24T20:35:43.301-04:00Be aware.
