Hi Judy Ann, I don't know bout anyone else's "secret", but when I'm grillin shrimps, I peel'em down to the tail before i put'em on.. Quickness is the real secret...it takes mere moments to cook a shrimp, especially on a grill or over a fire.

Whoever wrote that has been in my neighborhood. :)

"Heh. My grandfather taught us that we were the Boogeymen to the things living in the woods. They are more afraid of us than we are of them. You can't fear the Boogeyman if you are the Boogeyman." Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am the meanest...

+100 on the vacuum sealer. I've eaten fish a year and a half old & it was just like it came out of the water. I've had left-over barbque brisket a year later & tasted like it just came outta the pit. Great little appliance. By the by...it works great for packing extra clothing for a hiking or...

AHHHHHH, shrimps... Absolutely love'em. Judy Ann's right...it is called a low country boil...here in LA we take it a bit farther. With y'alls permission...Start your water to boil. Add 1/2 of your spice. I personally use Louisiana brand powdered shrimp & crab boil and Zataran's liquid crap...

Bein from Louisiana, you HAVE to love you some redfish on the half shell. It's almost state law. When you fillet the redfish, just make the first cut at the gillplate, then turn the knife toward the tail. Make that cut all the way through, leaving a slab of meat with the skin on. Rinse it off &...

IMHO, sage words to live by.

I do carry the 12 ga. flares & launcher on my big boat. I have never carried them into the woods...but there have been times when I thought about it. Like Catspa said...they'll light a fire no foolin around.

Lemme see...I'm HIKING...on a 8500 ft MOUNTAIN...depending on a MAN-MADE mode of transportation...with a possibility of a January STORM...hmmmmmmm. I don't care if I'm goin to the truckstop down the road from my house for a Yoohoo an a pack of smokes...I've got AT LEAST 3 days supplies with me...

The whole idea behind suppressors for hog hunting is that like I said before...hogs is SMART. You shoot one with a loud bang, and the rest scatter. What you wanna do is drop him in his tracks & line up on his cousin and so on. Now the hard part is droppin'em in their tracks. I've seen'em shot...

I'm not sure about anywhere else, but I'm pretty sure there's no season on'em here, no limit, AND I believe just recently it was made OK to hunt them at night, either spotlighting them or using night-vision.

Not intending to hijack, but how many types of fire starters do y'all carry on you every day?

+1 THIS is the kinna stuff I like to be involved with...stuff you just find layin around...adapting...overcoming. Love it!

Now we're gettin somewhere...So, take a contractor grade trash bag...fill it with pine straw or equivalent, there's my "nest". Tie the poncho up as a cover, using the hood as the highest tie point. Poncho liner and/or fleece to wrap up in. Space blanket as a reflector for the fire. I'm bettin...

Hi and welcome!

Tellin ya right now...I am a hardcore foodie...y'all wanna go there? I got some great recipes and mad skills...LOL

Outstanding responses...all of them. Knew I picked the right place.

Feral hogs are gettin to be quite a problem in several areas of the country. They're pretty thick around here. Whoever said something about climbing a tree to get away from them wasn't kidding. Problem is, they're real smart...smarter than your average dog. You go up a tree...you better be...

I'll hafta make his aquaintance. Thanx

What we're famous for is HEAT and HUMIDITY. Those of you that were ever a visitor to Southeast Asia would feel right at home in the summer.
