Gotta vent!

Well I have been spending most of today trying to get on New Mexico's website to find out if I drew a unit 15 muzzleloader tag. I have not been able to get in because of all of the traffic of who knows how many thousands of people all trying to get on at the same time. Meanwhile I decided to mess with my one and a half year old Canon mini-dv camcorder, and it won't load a tape. I have tried different tapes and different batteries and no dice. I was planning on taking it to Alaska with me in 10 weeks to video my moose hunt now I am sure I can't get it repaired and back in service by the time of the trip. It was FINE last time I used it and it has been sitting on a shelf ever since. I also have about $250 in a home made trail video camera I just built that works right less than half the time. Bottom line is I don't know if it is just my bad luck, but I sick of spending a bunch of money on pieces of junk. I am not even counting the half dozen trail cameras I have that don't work worth a dang either. My question is, how many of you guys ever feel like heading up in the mountains with a stick and string and leave all of this nonsense behind? I know this is kind of a random rant, but I am about one step from doing just that! It seems like all of the "advances" in technology are really just taking us backward.
 
I'm with you. I could take off tommorrow and walk from all of this rat race, overtaxed, over governmented, gadget filled world. Good luck on that moose hunt. We are wanting to go in 2008 so I will be interested in how it went for you.
 
First off I understand your frustration with your electronics, sometimes you get bad luck with em and other times they last a life time. Good luck with your hunt and you will cherish the moment whether videod or not.

Im confused with your comment when you are trying to get a T.V. show together and are always talking about how you bought the newest gadgets out there. Hmmmmm. Im just confused about your comment on how you would give all that up.

Im sure another country would welcome you with open arms. Hell come to Iraq where their gov't really doesnt exist and then dont have to worry about a country being over governmented because you dont know who is the gov't. And everytime you walk the streets you worry about who is your friend today might kill you tomorrow because they were paid to kill you.

Just remember that the country you live in isnt really that bad. I will tell you there are a lot worse countries to live in. Trust me!

If you have the time and want to chat about the world travels where you are the hunted instead of the hunter, drop me a PM and I will tell you how Bad YOU have it living in the great nation of the U.S.

Thank you for letting me vent on all the whining I hear day to day about how bad people have it.
 
We were planning on going moose hunting in '08 also, but I was told I was starting paramedic school in early September of next year which puts a HUGE damper on elk season, early goose season, bow season, shotgun season, duck season, coyote hunting and the following spring turkey season. But hey, I have it real good as far as my job is concerned, I really can't complain about giving up a fall and a spring. If you need any info on the Alaska trip I have tons of info, let me know. As far as the whole if you don't like technology-leave the country type of thing, I was just speaking wistfully of simpler times, if there are any personal agendas here, by all means let 'em air out. Holding that stuff in only poisons you brother.

Ditto. A homestead cabin in Alaska or British Columbia sounds pretty good at times. No cell phone ringing.
