RE: When does brave become foolish?
 

Graet point! most of the times I got into situations it was because I didn't prepare. Example: I do this all the time. I will walk into the woods telling myself I'm only going a little way. A mile later I'm looking for a compass that I didn't bring because "I'm only going in a little way".

Take some basic survival gear (space blanket, waterproof matches,etc) and make sure someone knows what area you'll be in. Check in with someone every night.

I solo hunt a wilderness area in Colorado every year. I take a satelite telephone. I don't find it brave or foolish because I plan it out and do it responsibly.

Todd, you know your stuff. Guy's like yourself, myself and other hunters of the north that have hunted In this stuff many other times have the best experience one can have. You can't buy good experience, all you can do Is learn It and learn from It. In saying that though one can get over confident like you said. Use your melon and keep In touch with someone on a daily basis like you said your going to do. Keep me posted on the hunting as I'll be hunting also this coming week In these fricking cold ass temps. Tomorrow's temps here- 4 degree's for a high, -14 for a low, -30 below wind chills.

Good luck wild man, be safe!!

And here I am getting all excited because our lows are supposed to back into the mid teens and have highs of only 30 the next couple of days.

Us southern guys just don't have a clue......we really don't. Good luck but most importantly, stay safe my friend.

RE: When does brave become foolish?
 

Kind of comparing apples and oranges in this one aren't you. Bravery has nothing to do with proposed senerio. I would say more it''s smart of dumb. You prepare for possible problems, that's smart. Not preparing is stupid. so it's not brave or foolish, it's stupid or smart.[8D]

RE: When does brave become foolish?
 

That makes sense. Brave would be going hunting for grizzly without a back up firearms shooter but being successful. Foolish would be doing the same but being eatin by the bear.
