The Horrors of the Outdoors

[zippyt]

Camping horror storys ,
Lets see , how about the time we went for a 4 day week end and it rained the whole time , ALL tarps were put up for shelter , and luckely a friend lived near by that worked at a saw mill , so we had PLENTY of fire wood , we only singed 2 tarps , and had plenty of out side ( bark side ) planks to make walk ways with , every thing was cool exept this kid that was a TOTAL ASS to his mother , cussing her and calling her names . I snatched him up by the shirt front more than once saying " Kids DON'T talk to their parents THAT way around me !!!" His mom just blew it off as normal .

or the time when i was stationed in Iceland and some guys from my Platoon and i desided to go camping , the weather turned COLD and these dickless wounders left me out there by my self in -20f temps , i showed them , i stayed gone for 3 more days by my self ( i will have to scan some of the pics one day ) , I back packed to the southernmost point in Iceland that I could walk to . When i came back in a taxi there was search partys out looking for me .

Or the time once again in Iceland when the Air force PJ's ( these guys are the elete of the elete search and rescue guys !!!) want some aggressers to do some combat rescue senerios . They went to the Marine guards ( i was one of them ) to get the volieters . When they droped us off ( 5 miles from the designated drop point) i knew we were in trouble when i had to tell the CPL in charge of us to flip his map over ( yes Splode i have a map and will scan it for you one day, VERRY lunar land scape ) then the radio that they had given us didn't work , then the weather got bad( in Iceland this meens 50-80 knot winds , sub zero temps and every kind on rain snow and sleet there is ) . Luckl'y they had given us these rescue radios . After a week ( we had 2 days of chow ) the weather cleared and i saw a contrail WAY up in the air , I turned on the resque radio just for shits and heard a voice
" Marines , marines , this is highway 25 , come in over "
I said " high way 25 this the marines , where have you boys been?" " marines , this is highway 25 what is your status ??" " highway 25 we are cold wet and hungry , over " at this point the Cpl snatched the radio out of my hands and arranged for our pick up . befor the debriefing he told us " don't say a fucking word" ( I'll have to fire up the scanner for some of these pics as well )
