Cooking? Do not lick the content of the bowl!

Oh yeah I did most of my childhood biking without a helmet... I mean we had them but didn't wear them most of the time...

Thankfully, I've never had food poisoning...knock on wood.

Pork i think is particularly bad like turkey and chicken, can be really bad news if under cooked...

Ugh all the laws, regulations really take the fun out of camping. I'm looking at AT stuff and there are tons of regulations depending on where you're at. I don't know why anyone would want to hike the whole thing from Maine to Georgia...besides all the risks, some places you have to pay, can't have your dog, can't have a campfire and so on. I'm just looking to do some backpacking on some weekend but I plan on just doing something local... There's a trail not too far from me that from what I read takes about 3 days to do and I think would be fun...Not sure if I would do the whole 3 days by myself since I'm kind of new to a lot of it and don't want to get halfway through and be like oh I don't have enough water or whatever...
