| alpha October 2, 2003 06:07 PM PDT oh wow Patrix! Himalayas is great. We hiked around Harsil. Gangotri-Gaumukh. Auli. Mana village. India-Nepal border. Also mostly along Ganges.. No Beas!:( yesss! Cold as hell was the water. No bears there. But soooo much fun. hey! thanks for the compliment.*blushing* love ur stuff too. | ||
| patrix October 2, 2003 05:54 PM PDT nice trekking tips...where in the heavens did u trek in the Himalayas..i did the Manali-Solang Nallah-Khardungla bit..really tiring but overwhelming ecstastic at the destination...never met any bears though...BTW ever experience the numbess ur ass gets when u dip in in the ice cold Beas and the ppl downstream think of it as holy water..hehehehe....pissing icicles can be a painful task too....man, i must admit..u the funniest blogger i have met so far. | ||
| alpha October 2, 2003 05:35 PM PDT Matrix: u are stupendous!!! Me is maha thrilled about u. Anyway, all points taken. luckily never ran out of water..*shudder* When u see a bear- Dont ever run! He will deal with the faster one after the slower one is finished. they can outrun u anytime. Most of the bears dont care about us humans..if they attack for some reason, just hope u dont meet them in heaven. | ||
| Matrix October 2, 2003 05:25 PM PDT One more wise one (sorry for spaming): - When encounter a bear, you only need to run faster than the slowest person in ur group and u r safe!! | ||
| Matrix October 2, 2003 05:21 PM PDT To add some: - No matter how many pairs of socks u carry, ur feet end up stinkin. - It is easy to get lost even with the topographical map and compass - It is always 10 deg colder than ur sleeping bag permits - U can carry 10 gallons of water, u'll always run out of it - The bag infact gets heavier by day 3. - The ground beneath ur tent is never flat (only ur tent) | ||
| alpha October 2, 2003 03:36 PM PDT Star: A 'Survivor' fan talking like this. tch tch! Khotta: Where there is a will, ____________.(complete the sentence) Suds: Try taking bread and cheese and crushing it, then sqeezing it and then eating it..*wait a sec-need to puke* EC: Hmmm...Why not Grand Canyon? u must while u are here. Its too good..worth every moment spent inside the walls, seeing the river. the view from the top which thousands of tourists see is nothing compared to the experiences below. *deep sigh* | ||
| AmitL October 2, 2003 02:14 PM PDT Using '-wet-ones'to clean critical areas?LOL.No wonder I was never encouraged to go trekking.Give me the peaceful streets and overbridges of Dubai,any morning-thats adventurous enough.:) | ||
| Name October 2, 2003 02:02 PM PDT Hmmm....the truth is I've not really had much experience of being out in the wild so can't say much but sounds like not-much-fun :) | ||

| wandy October 2, 2003 12:40 PM PDT i agree...to most..haven't had experience with some...:D but still great fun.... | ||
| starfest October 2, 2003 12:16 PM PDT unfortunately my dreams of being the rugged, outdoorsy type have been dashed...I would never survive any of your #'ed list.... my idea of roughing it would include a body of water, a boat, a fishing rod and a cooler of beer. | ||
