Don't get your hopes up. Susan's a railroader...probably the best card player on the forum.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought Frisket was advocating the playing of strip poker, as long as you didn't have anything else to do...
Of course, it would depend on who you were stranded with.

I have several miniature decks of Bicycle brand playing cards that I picked up at REI ten years ago or more. They are not cheap cards and have held up well. I have a couple of decks that are pretty ragged and a couple that are unopened. I've paired my backpacking weight down over the years to a level that most would consider ultra-light but I always manage to carry one of those tiny decks of cards anyway. Edited to add: I thought that both players eventually won at a strip poker game anyway.

I'm familiar with:
Show 'n tell
Post Office
Pony express (like P.O.-only more horsing around)
Strip poker
and maybe a couple others I can't think of right now....
But what is 'wild edibles'? Sounds intriguing, and it can involve cards? :-) Tell me more..... :-)

John That's not a bad idea. That would be proof that pocket knives have amusement potential beyond mumbley peg.
