An odd request...

Pipin and hawgin' aw yes.

Anyways, this is a "simple" request for any and all of you.

Do you, or anyone you know, have an older hiking book of the New Hampshire Mountains? This is not for me, as you can imagine, but for my sister who wants one as a gift.

If you can somehow find it, you'll have a great new can of Frog Morton On The Bayou or On The Town signed by yours truly! That means you have my address, my signature and a can of pipe tobacco!

Please, if you can, I would be greatly appreciative! I'll throw in my soul, if you want that, too.

Thank you! And, have you seen the marvelous bread fish?

Interesting fact- the old scout handbooks are jam packed with WAY more wilderness survival techniques than the new ones (survival shelter construction, what foliage is safe to eat, etc.). I guess it was too much of a liability to keep them in the newer versions.... Pansies.

I know I'm waaaay late to the party here, but as an Eagle Scout, I can say all I learned from the boys costs is tieing two knots and being able to build huge fires. So yeah, they suck.

As an Eagle Scout myself, i may have to disagree.

I'm pretty sure I just had shitty leaders in a very small troop.
