... what’s y’all hands thoughts on your final resting place? ... I’d be content to die in the woods and let the crows pick my bones....

... out riding the roads tonight and listening to this song from a band a couple counties up from here and it got me thinking

.... y’all crank it up

Covid got yah depressed Savell.....Snap out of it Brothah !!

... I’ve always rode around fantasizing about dying Ness lol ... listen to that song hand... it’s a good one !

At least you will be giving back to nature.

In the same plot next to my grandfather, g grandfather, gg grandfather....

Not sure where i wanna be buried but i could listen to more from that band. Good stuff

I was thinking a 50 cal ammo can write my name on it and put my ashes in it the kids can pass me around.

otherwise I don't really know.

paying a bunch of money for a hole in the ground some place just doesn't seem like Me

Don't matter much where they put me I guess. One thing I insist on though is that NOONE comes to my funeral with an onion in their hanky, cryin over me.

I want every one to be happy, Some to be happy I was here and some to be happy I'm gone. Don't want no 'two faced' people there. If ya loved me, Great, if ya hated me, say so and get it out of your system.


That's just how I roll, I guess.

I always thought it would be best to be left out on the prairie someplace. Since that aint legal it would be good if somebody would grind up my remains and make coyote bait. I don't think thats legal either so told my kids to put my ashes in the local river.

I told my wife to put my ashes in that empty hopper right there....and run me around the Christmas Tree ....every year.

Well you did kill your trophy you been after for years , so your life is complete !! What else you got to look forward to . Every deer from now on will fall short of that MONSTER !!!

Heck in Ky you can't do that either now.

Whats that blue stuff in the pic ? You burning a joint with some California blue devil weed in it ?

I got my cremation plan bought and paid for so the kids won't have to deal with it. My plans are not to have a wake or funeral. Anyone that matters to me will know l'm dead. Picked up a couple of what I want to use for urns for my son and daughter to have at an auction last summer. Also instructions on where I want some of my ashes spread. I'm going to sleep around quite a bit for my last nap. Here is a picture of the urns I picked.

I've picked out a nice corner along the creek at my daughters house to be burned.
When I told the daughter of my wishes she ask me , why?
I told her that corner will be just a little greener for sometime to come.
And when she looks at it she will know I'm always there for her
Corny I know.

great song

There is a certain hollow I was in one morning it was really foggy and a fallow deer came charging through the fog jumped a log and was gone. I always thought that would be the place I would like to have my ashes spread. Silly but it has always stuck with me.

Burial at sea and some on the mountain seems fitting. Half and half after a slow roast in the EZ bake oven.

I hunted Newfoundland a dozen times. It’s funny, when you’re in the back country ( I mean 10 miles off any road ), you’ll come across a stainless steel cross with engraved initials or a name. The Newfie’s like to have their ashes taken to their favorite moose look outs.

We call that cruising up here Savell. I have a neutral place picked out in a pasture. Wife’s family is hardcore Catholic and mine is hardcore Baptist it will be interesting to see where I end up. Hopefully one of you guys will let me know

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.

I told her just hook my ankle to the tractor and drag me down by the crick.

... great story there

... best I can hope for is getting hamstrung by a mangy coyote around here lol

There's a few peaceful ways I'd prefer to check out, mangled, mauled to death and eaten by a grizzly not being top of the list.

Sissy

When I went to Alaska to hunt Browns, I told my Wife and kids ..If I went out by being Mauled I wouldn't mind.
They were not too happy with me.

When I die I will be Torched to ash mixed With FFG and my kids are to load the Muzzleloaders and shoot ...Deer, Bear....whatever they like.

If it was legal I'd rather be put up on a Tamarac platform in Native leathers to be left to waste away in the wind, bur FFG it will have to be.

Surprised no one wants to be stuffed and used as a hatrack.

" Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox If I Die"

Come to think of it why isn't that a thing? Human taxidermy mounts. Keep loved ones around indefinitely.

Umbrella holder

I always figured my ashes would make a good Flathead batter...

Ol rad

I good place for someones ashes would be their favorite campsite fire.

Burn me up and throw me in the North Platte River in Wyoming.

We call it the Dirt Nap around here.

I would like to have my hide tanned so they can turn me into a 13 or 14” barrel racing saddle .

Tan me hide when I'm dead Fred
Tan me hide when i'm dead.
So we tanned his hyde when he died clyde
And there it is hangin on the shed.


Ed Gein.

... understood... been lucky enough to be that saddle a time or two lol

... relaxing by the fire tonight... I may or may not make it up to the house later lol

I always told my wife and kids I want to be ground up and used as bear bait! Returned to nature naturally. Also I want them to use some of the bait for a hunt, it would be our last hunt together! They have never been thrilled with that plan. LOL

RIP Steve Prosser... Now that is going out with a Bang!
