Title: Re: All Things Bushwhacking

KF is right.......I made it sound like a walk in the park but it is a lot of work. In fact I have probably forgotten just how much work.......But I have always enjoyed it regardless and so my definition of fun is probably a bit different than others.

Just walk it first to make sure you don't end in a tag alder swamp and have so much sweat equity involved that you don't feel like you can stop.

I also like the point KF made about lightening the load. You may have to make an extra trip. Get started early so it doesn't get hot. My bushwacking days were in the fall and early winter for the most part. Might not be as much "fun" as I remember being hot and dehydrated while smacking deer flies.
