the mushrooms! there were a ton of 'em and i have no idea which ones are edible so we left them alone. aaron did find some wild berries and against his advice i quickly munched on a few of them. a few minutes later i complained of stomach aches/slight dizziness. sorry, bro it was a bad joke :eek::D

i trusted tonym when he said all segmented berries are edible. he was right since i'm still here :thumbup: i'll keep trying and see if i find an exception to that rule :eek:

this one doesn't have white spots. the red cover in some parts just got taken off or munched on, appearing white.

aaron - nice to meet you, bro. we gotta hike again soon. hopefully the other nj/ny crew...cough...rescueriley...cough...gonadz...will join us next time. neither of us turned out to be serial killers. whew :D
 
Cool pics.

Don't know the saw but next to it is a Leatherman Charge AL (or maybe ALX).
And that last shroom does look familiar
 
Great pics, thanks for sharing.

And remember, ALL mushrooms are edible, but some of them are only edible ONCE.
 
that last mushroom makes you bigger....or is that the extra man up one ???
Good pics thanks for sharing !

haha. after that eotech reticle pic thingy, i'm now convinced a nikon employee screwed up and accidently put a sensor for a way more expensive model in mine! too bad it doesn't look like a pro model. i can't go around the park coming up to women in bikinis sun bathing pretending to be a playboy scout looking for the next talent :p

Awesome, was great meeting you too. My saw is the crappy one you can get at Dick's Sporting Goods, though I forget the name. The next one is a Leatherman Charge AL. I don't think we brought enough knives though....next time we'll be prepared. Photos are great btw.

thanks, bro. that's the super size mushroom. the 1up is green.
 
red shroom makes you big, green gives extra man up, funky flower makes you fart fireballs, and as for the star - i think that's meth or sth like that
 
When you said shroom hike I got all excited, but I was thinking of something else. :D

I can't believe you're selling your knives :eek:

i tried hard to like them but it never clicked for me. the rc-3 was too thin to be comfy in my hand while the rc-5 felt like gripping a brick. i love my esee-4 & junglas though! i love the 4 so much i'm really tempted to get an o.d. green with the orange scales. the blacked out 4 is inside my edc pack.

knives are a lot like girls...they will come and go but the pictures of the good times will always be there to show off to the guys :eek:;)
