I decided to get the three kids (25, 28, 30) things to go into a BOB for each of their family. Sofar, just starting with the basics, fire starting kits, shaved AL, emergency Mylar blankets, P51( or what ever they are called) can openers, batteries, flashlights, etc.
We sat down yesterday and started on our family Christmas gift list. We're doing something similar, but since my younger son and his wife who is a nurse already have their BOBs and GHBs, we're getting them a starter emergency food storage kit. Not sure which one, but looking at some on ES to order.Originally Posted by Domeguy

Did another forced march with an asston of weight, HH6 didnt accompany me this time though.
25984 steps, which equals out to 12,5 miles for me.

Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
I would guess it comes from a soldier thing, but even myself, when I am in hunting, I count my steps almost subconsciously. When the map/chart comes out, I know I went 400 paces down that ridgeline, and then 779 going around that swamp, then 600 across that clearing... add in a few directions, and I know where I am and where I need to go. I guess growing up with a map and compass instead of a gps will do that for ya! Sounds like a good hike Stormy... Trudge on, my friend!

Oh, and I am clearing up a huge mess at work, so I can take some holidays and do a little hunting and a little writing.
And... indirectly, I put 1/2 a 5x5 buck into my freezer. my buddy got one yesterday, and half is mine. Will try to get some pics before butchering.
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
Cat's are food... not friends!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
yep, Im a step counter, its almost addicting, and very ADHD/OCD of me, but its kind of ingrained from the Marines, just one of those leftover habits I cant shake.

I did that for a long time too, but not in a useful way. I always restarted after an 8 count! Lol
Sadly, I have not much else to contribute. All I've done this past week is take a 4 day vacation and relax.

They say that the cockroaches will be the last creature alive on this earth.
I intend on being the last person alive still stomping cockroaches.
Built and placed 9 more ground level garden boxes for berries and corn next year. Five more of those, and four 4x8's to go. I'm definitely gonna be busy mixing soil again.
We're also starting to plan our irrigation system since those are the last of the boxes
