Duck Pond Redneckery

[Duck]

Last night we set up on a big sand bar. Surrounded by knee deep mud, water or impenetrable jungle on all sides.

It rained. I got 3 drops in the tent.

Couldn't get the coolers off the raft cuz of the deep mud. To get them outta the sunlight we moved into the woods across the pond. I made an awning approximately the size of a bobtail (sleeper) in area out of a 30 x 19 camouflage tarp, rope, trees, the 3 auger stakes I brought and 3 that I made by sharpening sticks with my hatchet and pounding them into the ground with the back side. It's got a ridge line rope tied between to trees about ten feet up, and other ropes holding it out into like an A frame with the edges about 4 feet up.

I've got the tent under it at one end, and everything else in the middle. I made a table by putting one raft up on saw horses, after washing them with a bucket of river water and a sock. The other two rafts are leaning against trees.

Planning 8 days but I don't know if we'll have enough deet to last that long.

You may have sailed too far! Are you in the Jungle?

Vampire mosquitos from h*ll!

I got a 3G signal!

 

[Duck]

I noticed that it gets a slightly better signal when it's plugged in to the charger.

This was putting it up. I tied one end up in the tree then laid the tarp over the rope before I tied the other end.

 

[Duck]

Staked it out unevenly on purpose. It's the only way to shape it so rain won't pool up on it.

 

[Duck]

The high corner is staked to a third tree instead of the ground. And I'm using that rope as a clothesline to dry my socks.

I was in the process of disassembling the rafts. Washed them with river water and a sock, then set one on saw horses as the kitchen table.

 

[Duck]

Only problem is the lanterns attract bugs and they burn to death, then fall dead on the raft / table..

You said they were already burned to death. Why the hell are you cooking them more?

 

[Duck]

Shrimp fer breakfast, burgers for lunch, and bacon burgers for dinner.

I like the way you eat! Burgers and bacon burgers.
Breakfast should be, Burgers with eggs on top of the patty.

Maybe make something completely different from burgers. Like Bacon Cheese burgers and Cheese and Bacon and egg burgers

Egg burgers with cheese and bacon

 

[ironpony]

Bacon burgers... dispense with the unnecessary additives.

 

[Duck]

Ain't no way in hell I'm cooking more eggs.

I buttered the skillet first and still ended up having to use my hatchet to scrape that shit off.

 

[Duck]

What part of "go over there, grow a tobacco plant and make me a cigarette" does this girl not understand?

Geez... I'm about two seconds away from rolling up coffee grounds in a piece of coffee filter paper and smoking it..

I wonder what that would do? Where's a stupid teenager when you need a lab monkey?

 

[Keendriver]

Wonder what the caffeine hit would be like?

That's why I need a teenager to do it first and find out.
