Staying Awake - Page 3

Just eat something- that keeps me awake.
I'm not big on hunting for sport myself. (Noone in my family would let me near a gun anyway.)

What did he use? and was he sane afterwards?

Well, I'm sure he was at least temporarily insane. Lack of sleep kills brain functions. My psyche teacher once told me about a guy who gave up sleep as a matter of protest. I can't remember what he was protesting against but it doesn't really matter. Anyways, in the end he ended up wrestling with a gorilla that only he could see. Moral of the story? Sleep!!

In Hungary there have been competitions about who can stay awake the longest while using a computer in an internet cafe, and there were several people who went for a week. Probably sleeping a lot before it and using large amounts of coffee.

I've found hunting to be an excellent time to reflect, especially if you're going the tree stand route. Being a journal and a pen, or bring a good book, (i know, i know, lugging a rifle, a knife, your lunch, and 30 pounds of gear around isn't really asking for taking another 3 pounds or reading material), but it's actually a productive way to spend a morning, espescially when the deer are absolutely content to avoid your stand at all costs [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
