[quote bassassinator]how do you bushwhack your way through forest that thick, 8 feet high, with all those poles sticking out of your pack? that must be awful.[/quote]
And somehow my hair withstood the bushes! AMAZING!!!
That was part of the stress of having to do that. I was convinced that the rod tips (3 of them) were goners. It took 45 mins to get through that mess and the worst part was when we realized that this could become a after dark event in the forest. A lot of times I took off the pack straps to one shoulder and ran the pack horizontal.
Somehow the rod tips survived and the money, cell phone, and car keys stayed in my pocket after I fell so many times. There were sections that felt like I was gorge of the jungle as I held on to branches and the like to try and reduce the impact of the falls.
Forest that thick sucks BIG TIME!
