Farley Mowat has been a canadian biologist employed in the far north in the years 1950 to 70 or about.

He has written many books relating to his adventures but also, and most interestingly, about the adventures of English explores of the far north in the 1700s.

There were many but i have just read about 3

Samuel Hearne
Alexander Mackenzie
John Franklin

so please indicate your choice and it will be my obligation to post a very short account of one of either of their more "interesting" adventures

no , but i will choose for you...i'm into the John Franklin account at the moment and wow..this is heavy stuff!

Reply to pike

just as an appetizer to this historical account, these guys would go for over a month on eating just "tripe de roche" in the winter when they were as they wrote back then: "in distress"...it is a lichen found on rocks

Reply to pike

And who cares? Exactly?

Reply to WingDing

fair enough pike, however, if you are going to tell a story i would prefer it if the main character was killed by wild animals on a trek please.

so far there has been no such event...much too the contrary:

Extract of John Franklin's expedition of 1819-1822 from the west coast of hudson bay to the Arctic sea by land.


"...In the evening two musk-oxen, being seen on the beach, were pursued and killed by our men. While we were waiting to embark the meat, the Indians reported they had been attached by a bear which sprang upon them while they were talking. His attach was so sudden that they had no time to level their guns properly, and they all missed except Akaitcho who, less confused than the rest, took deliberate aim and shot the animal dead. They(indians) do not eat the flesh of bear but, knowing that we had no such prejudice, they brought us some of the choice pieces which, upon trial, we found to be excellent meat. ..."

If you want to read some good, true, books about the settling of the country between the French, English, & Indians you should read the Winning Of America series by Allan W. Eckert. These books are Narratives, which are completely true. Let me tell you fact is stranger than fiction!!!

The Frontiersmen is the first of the series. I'm reading the last book of the series, Twilight Of Empire.

Some of the best reading I've done in quite awhile!!!

That series looks very good. I'd be particularly interested about the first explorations of the western deserts and death valley...that must of been something. The challenges there would heve been opposite those in the fer north explorations:

- too much heat and lack of water

versus

- too much cold and lack of food(plenty of water)

Thanks for reminding me.

the exploration of the deep sea bottoms is also a fascination of mine with their incredibly peculiar fauna existing at those depts and pressures

i wouldn't mind exploring Kylie Minogues' sweaty bottom however...if she was consenting of course

Reply to pike

pike seriously, just strangle her then you can do what you want with her, far easier.

I prefer the term 'surprise sex'.

Reply to WingDing

Just Kylie? Pike, your aspirations are hopeless man.

 

What you want is Kylie and her sister Dannii, in a hot tub, playing with a twelve inch double ended dildo before they beg you to hump them senseless. Then, on your vinegar stroke, you shoot all over their eager upturned faces.

 

Edited for typo.

books as teachings from past spiritual sages are helpfull along the way and in this regard the bible may as well be of assistance but none of these are the final word or have the final say in your decision or choice....you and you alone must make that very fearfull step into the unknown and make the final choice and you and you alone will bear the responsibility of such this choice and it will not be possible and it is not in one's interest to BLAME the results of ones' choice on a god...supposedly at the origin of a given book.

it's far to easy and practical to have a god to blame or to cry to when one finds life is unjust with oneself...life is only a result of ones' choices
