bb,
Hopefully you perceived correctly that I was not attacking you at all but
the "Captains" contention that such a practice was valid. There are folks
listening who might actually believe it to be true.
I pack some water too. And I check my destination and it's water source to
determine how I am going to deal with the need for water. I don't and can't
pack enough water for a weekend on my back. So there are some places that I
choose not to visit for lack of a suitable water supply that can be made
safe.
I know nothing about possums and how they breed but will play along with you
if you wish to "fish" someone in on that one. <G>
While it is pointed out by many students of the fur trade that packing water
was considered effeminate, it is only offered in the context of the history
and does not reflect what most of us do in practice and is not promoted as
wise to copy.
YMOS
Capt. Lahti'

Capt, I know BB is "kinda" wrong, as possums do not breed thru the nose, but the male deposits it in the nose and the female then blows her nose in to the vigina to deposit the sperm.< Verry Big GRIN>

Capt.
I perceived you correctly. I was only kidding about the water dipping
and possum mating, though this was believed by some or all back then.
I didn't take it as an attack at all. I know everyone on the list
means well.
I personally compress my water in old yellow colored aircraft oxygen
bottles and can then carry ten times the water, though the bottles
then weigh ten times more which is something to consider especially
when on foot. But I didn't want to bring up compressed water because
everyone would say,"Hey! That's not right! They didn't have aluminum
oxygen bottles back then!"
I've tried cans of evaporated water (like evaporated milk) but you
have to carry more cans of water to cut it with thus defeating the
whole purpose. So I went back to the compressed oxygen/water bottles.
Which can bought at most Army/Navy stores. Just wrap them in a burlap
sack to make them look historical.
That a tip from your old friend,

I don't know about it being in Nepal, but the lil' critters ARE in a lot of
our "remote" water from what I've read.

Capt. L.
It only takes one male and one female.
Now for the rest of the story !! Opossums are Marsupials, and therefor are "kinda" primative in development sexually. The female has two overies and each comes all the way to the vigina in a separate tube. however, only one seems to produce eggs at a time.
The male not knowing which one , has a penis that is "forked" and deposits sperm into each one, at a mateing.
The female as she is going out of "season" will go out on a limb and turn faceing toward the male , her rear toward the tips of the of the limb. The male still trying to breed will aproch her and "work" on her front end insted of the "other", not being able to get to the rear.
The "old timer" possoum hunters , shining their lights up in the tree observing this and seeing the "forked" end working toward the nose, assumed he was depositing the sperm in the nose, and she had to "blow" in in the other end.
Nuff said ??
