Pining for Pines
Now Playing: Bill Stains: Coyote

Im really beginning to get woods withdrawl now. I have not been out in a long long time and I really need a break from the grind. Im starting to get edgy and uncomfortable. People and things feel too close..

So, this comming weekend I am off to the woods, at least for an overnight. I want to get some dirt time before it becomes snow time!

Im going rather minimal again, just my swiss pack, a tarp, my rifle, My Cold Steel SRK, a hatchet or machete(havent decided yet) a really thick wool blanket and some meager rations, most likely hard tack, spam, some rice and a bit of jerky. I hope to have my new hunting license in time for the trip so I can maybe get a squirrel or two for the pot.

That reminds me, I found a nice billy pot amongst some gear I was going through this evening, something from a chinese dollar store. A squat, 1 quart pot with cover and bail made of tin. Its a light little affair and the bail on it is suprisingly robust. I will take that with me along with a tin frying pan I have for Rev War. 

Really gets my heart pumping just talking about it! There are a few choices of comfortable haunts I can go to, one of which I have not been to in quite a while!! 

I hope the weather is good but honestly at this point, a bad day in the woods is better for me that any day here.
