Did I announce here that I was going to be on vacation? I can’t remember if I did or not. Well folks, I apologize if I did not. You may have been wondering why I haven’t been very active here or anywhere else - it’s because I’ve been on vacation for about the past week, and I still have a few more days to go. Towards the end of this week I will have some new things to share with you all, God willing and the creek don’t rise.
Plan your day around water, not miles. Fill up at every good source, filter it or treat it if you want the extra insurance, and never pass up clear moving water because you think there'll be more ahead.

Before you build a shelter, look for the one the hill already made. Rock overhangs have kept people dry for thousands of years. Check the ceiling for loose slabs, stay out of the drip line, and leave it the way you found it.
