OUTDOOR LIFE

mountainbikedyke · 01-30-2010, 06:44 PM

Hey there!

Any other outdoor types on here?

Mountain biking, fishing, hunting, kayaking, camping, whatever it is.......

Let's talk about it!

Blade · 01-30-2010, 06:53 PM

sure we have some camping and fishing folks here for sure! I know I can't wait for the spring thaw so I can go do both without freezing to death. Where does everyone like to camp? how do you camp? How primitive will you get or do you get? What do you eat? Where do you get it from?

mountainbikedyke · 01-30-2010, 07:00 PM

Hey Blade!

I've camped every imaginable way- from backpacking miles into the AT trail, to just tent camping in a non-primitive site.

Depending upon the camping trip, the food varies. I'll always grill veggies, along with the catch of the day.

Any others in the Nashville area or surrounding states?

I'm totally shocked that you would start a thread like this...

One of the reasons I can't wait to move east is so I can get back into the outdoors. Kayaking, camping, spelunking, hiking, climbing...

an awesome naturalist.

i like many of his philosophies, and i, too, would carry oats and nuts on 25 mile hikes, talk to plants and boulders along the way. he was made of total fearlessness experiencing all of the elements, animals, topography, and so on.

Anything to be outside is a good thing!
Now that the weather is warming a bit we've been out hiking and geocaching again, and of course, there's always the dog walks.
I'm looking forward to my youngest getting off training wheels this year, so our bike riding excursions will expand!

mountainbikedyke · 03-29-2010, 04:06 PM

What are your outdoor plans for the week and weekend?

mountainbikedyke · 03-29-2010, 04:09 PM

The weather here in Nashville is awesome today, and is only going to get better!

I ran the trail near work at lunch today and will hopefully be able to all week! This weekend I have some outdoor freelance work to do, but nothing fun!

I'm planning to kayak fish in the next few weekends and may try to camp at the end of the month...

Sachita · 03-29-2010, 04:18 PM

I love it all and am having a serious hankering for some camping and fishing. I just cant decide if I'll go west to the blue ridge or east to the ocean and outer banks.

JakeTulane · 03-29-2010, 04:43 PM

I too am a huge fan of the outdoors. I camp (My family calls Me the Camping King).. to backpacking (I did a backwoods backpacking hike at Yellowstone).. I fish.. freshwater and learned how to fly rod as well. I have a serious camping and fishing bug going on too. I would have to say the camping I have enjoyed the most has been the total roughing it...such as you would do on Federal owned land. Where you can pitch a tent anywhere you want.. and you pack in and pack out (leave no trace).

As I mentioned in the fishing thread - our season opens this Thursday and I already have plans to drop a line that evening if I am not too tired from work. If so, I will definately go this weekend.

I agree mountain.. we are supposed to have temps in the 70's starting this Thursday.. it is seriously going to make Me want to get out My gear and get to camping and fishing. I have all My fishing rods out here in the livingroom now and will be going over them all to make sure the lines are good, etc. That is just going to make the "fever" worse.

Of course, I have to be responsible and work.

mountainbikedyke · 03-29-2010, 05:13 PM

Mmm, fresh fish cooked over charcoal, grilled acorn squash and corn, and a beer that's been chilling in the cooler all day! Simple and so good!

I like to wrap fish in banana leaves and grill or steam. Especially trout. Squeeze a little key lime, add some shallots, little spice and some pineapple sage leaves. Of course my banana tree got really zapped this past winter and I have to wait for it to come back around.

Good Morning mountain. One has to love a good sunset. It is cool here today.. however, we are supposed to be back in the 70 degree range by tomorrow.. just in time for opening day. Although I do not mind the cooler temps (easier to sleep in)... just can not deal with the bitter cold.

Hope you have a peaceful and productive day.
