Dying will be easy. How you go will be the hard part???? What was it Jose said? Buzzards got to eat, same as the worms.

Be right with the Lord!! As long as your last Nap is not a Dirt Nap???????

Savell one I love whiskey myers and 2 I told my son throw me on a brush pile let the yotes eat on me and use the turds to make more sets So we can continue to trap after I'm gone... He is ok with this but momma says I'm morbid.

Get some good old boy to chunk you up and scatter you out on the trapline as bait.
Similar to scattering ashes only more useful.

One of my guys here at Seymour Johnson AFB passed away a few years ago. His request was to have his ashes put on a block of C-4 and make that final shot. It got arranged, and it happened. I may go that route myself.

It wasn't a waste of C-4, because in order to collect the $110. a month hazardous duty pay, we have to perform a procedure involving explosives. The normal qualifying shot was usually a block of C-4, if no other operation involving explosives was accomplished during the month.

Rest in Peace Steve Prosser

I had 6 kids, give em each a shovel to dig the hole

What Scout1 said

A few things on Death..


1. Dying is easy. It's living, that is the hard part. That suffering that many people end up going through, before they die, now that is THE hard part!

2. Never could understand why people put on a big expensive Funeral, when the guest of honor, is not there ALIVE !!! to see it.

3. If someone wants to see me, then they can see while I am alive.

Got my plot already bought and paid for. When that day comes DECADES FROM NOW !!! :grin,: I will be buried under a Sugar Maple Tree in the Cemetery where the rest of my Family is buried.

My 100 year old mom wished to be donated to a medical school. A year later I received her cremated remains. She is now on the Blue Ridge Parkway with a nice view when I visit.

Good post , Paul

RIP Steve Prosser , I don't know him , but I respect his last wishes. Good way to go with C-4.

Mind if I ask where on the parkway? I'd like my ashes to be spread right off the BRP on black balsam. A 1/3 of ashes dumped on the east fork pigeon river watershed, 1/3 on the west fork watershed, and the other 1/3 in a plastic box with my name, birthdate, death date, just to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) the tree huggers off there.

If up to me, you could just chuck me into the bay for the crabs to eat, lord knows how many I've taken out so it would be payback after a fashion..but apparently thats untidy.

So I'll get sprinkled over the water, no one needs to know...

My inlaws passed and my FIL wanted his ashes mixed wih my MIL's and spread around the Superstition mountains in AZ. where they were living.
My sister in law couldn't bring herself to do it so she split the ashes 3 ways for each child to "plant" somewhere to remember them...

My wife, one of the children, had a not great relationship with her parents and didn't care to have them around, alive or dead...

Now both my inlaws hated the water, beach, fish, sun, or anything about it....guess where i dumped them.....

So the moral to this sad story, , don't pee off your kids if you want them to dispose of your ashes....

Kinda turns out like you,,, my dad was catholic and my mother was baptist, so that makes me a cactus.

A lot of people say dying is the easy part. If it doesn't happen suddenly, I don't think that's the case. I had a relative that always use to say that. In the end it went slowly(only a few days)for her due to her kidneys shutting down. She was aware of things and said it was a lot harder than she thought. Realizing she wasn't going to be able to share close ties with family anymore.

Not worried about it.Will happen at home or in my beloved woods.

Wow, great music. I've always joked, (half joke), that I would like for my last trip to be through the bowels of a grizzly bear.

Years ago, an old bear trapper up here went out that way. A friend of mine, that has since passed, found some grizzly scat with flannel in it. They discovered it was the remains of the old bear trapper. They found his skull nearby. Ironic, and fitting perhaps, that he ended up passing through a bear.. There is a good account of the story in a book of the history of the Swan Valley.

i wouldn't mind being part of a bear for awhile.

My plan is to have ashes spread in a few different places. I will have a stone marker (rock from ranch) in a very rural cemetery with some ashes buried there. The cemetery I plan to have a stone marker has just a hand full of professional made headstones. The rest 98% are just hand made markers from iron, rock or wood nothing fancy everything is very simple and pure.

No funeral but hoping to have a man of the cloth at my grave site ash burial.
