The Roundtable / Re: Lost on the Appalachian Trail

Most people would be shocked at the amount of people who die in the woods, and in areas that aren’t really that remote. It’s a fairly frequent occurrence oftened marked by nothing more than a local missing persons report.

We had a case of a guy who died just off trail (tumbled off a ledge) and it took three days to find his body, and that was on a fairly easy trail.

And, what do you know, Bookface is showing me Timex ads.

You probably have cookies from timex.com on your machine.

I have a Timex Expedition (not sure the exact model) with an analog dial and no calendar.  I really like the faint green backlighting when you press the stem.  I've had it for about 5 years and it's still on the original battery.  I think I paid $35 for it.

I have been spending way, way, way to much time viewing watch videos.
Like, normally I spend way to much time on gun stuff I can't afford.
Now I am looking at watches I can't afford.
 
 
 Are you guys wearing watches? What kind?

This here: https://timex.com/products/expedition-camper-39mm-fabric-strap-watch-t42571.  Maybe not exactly that.  Dial face watch with luminescent hands and Indiglo light.  Plastic case.  (My sweat will corrode anything that's not plastic or stainless steel.).  Velcro band.

Basic.  All I need or want.

Timex Expedition Scout Chronograph. Not a fan of digital, but I need a stopwatch. Same as this, but a black nylon NATO band.

I wear an Apple Watch these days. Allows me to discretely check calls and texts during classes, tracks my heart rate, and I can choose a variety of faces

  Casio Duro/Marlin diver watch
 I got this on Amazon recently, just under 60 bucks.
Wearing more than my Gshock rangeman I got last year for a lot more.
 I think you guys would like this watch, if you fall into the water while fishing or something it will be fine.
it is robust , looks good and if you do break it - you're not out a lot .
I plan on buying a few more in different colors because they discontinued it. Eventually the value is bound to go up because every watch collector buys one or 5.

Stupid people are stupid, in other news, water is wet.

Actually I suspect she's not stupid,  but is a liar, and saw a chance to get TikTok famous and went for it.

I think I recall that story, I often track stories about missing hikers.

 I'm glad I spent a lot of time in the BSA in the early seventies.
