Whatever

I’d still ask and try to get one

 

As we speak I’m looking across the road at my neighbors newborn lamb. It’s too damn cute to eat.

 

Just wait a few days without food... youll start plotting the theft of said lamb...

 

Well it’s mama first but after she’s gone...

 

I’ve had gator. I surprised even myself by putting it in my mouth. Was really good.

 

Yep. Gator is good eating. With red beans and rice and cornbread. Mmmm

 

This was breaded and fried with chipotle dipping sauce

 

Now I need to add gator to my food bucketlist.

 

It’s the texture of pork chops. Kinda tasted like that and chicken

 

Same here.
My grandmother was happy to cook them, and it was very good.
My Mom refused to touch them.
But she wasn't born for farm life.

Yeah, I had gator at a restaurant in Orlando a long time ago.
A little chewy, but fine otherwise.

 

I am now. Thanks.

DO IT.

As for non-standard meats (poll idea?), if any of you are hanging out in Denver any time soon:

Went on another successful outing today.



Now it's too damn hot.

 

Dunno about snapping turtles where you are, but they're not little here.
Big enough that it takes a full grown man to hold one up by the tail.
Not so much because they're heavy, but because you gotta hold them straight out.
They have long necks and you don't want to get bit by one.

I have an old picture somewhere of my Dad holding one like that.
That turtle was stretched out trying to bite him.

 

Man, I so want to do that.
But I'd go light, and that means alone. My wife would never go for it..
Just the truck, a tent, a 5 gallon bucket with screw on lid for...you know.
One of those solar shower bags, a couple 5 gallon carboys for water, camp stove...
Like that.

[sigh]

 

I've Gator Sausage, Gator Jerky. I found both to be superior to Beef

 

I have a snapper in my backyard right now. My mom loved them for some reason and picked up every one she saw by or in the road. She had a dozen back there at one time. They have all died or escaped except the one. He/she isn’t very big and it’s at least 10 years old.

 

Yeah, that's where you run into problems with short, light travel trailers. Pretty dang difficult to find one that has the comforts of home, but short, light, and offroadable.

 

Done, life without a taco. Party foul lol

 

Yeah I'm just kicking around ideas right now. Trying to think of how to best proceed. I wouldn't want to take an expensive camper the places I go in the truck. I could leave it in a campground as a base camp and use the RTT for off road travels. But most KOA or state parks have toilets and showers. I may just stick with the tent and stop at one of those every few days. Or get a bucket and solar shower for summer and stay dirty in winter.

 

nüCamp RV has added an offroad package to its T@b and T@g line of teardrop campers.

Durian is one plant I wouldn't mind if it went extinct.
