    Awesome, Zack! I know thing vary state by state so I wasn't sure if the same thing was offered in your area. I like the free county maps myself. They are free, and very detailed. That is why I keep them for my county and all the counties that surround me.

Also, natertot, I appreciate your advice on the maps, I got a map of my county today, free of charge. I'll continue to post on any alteration I make to the kit.
    Nice one.
    Only thing to be wary about is that no insulation takes well to being compressed for long periods of time, so try and have it loose rather than compressed when in storage.

    This one I really like because it's a bicycle map. It's got all of the small streets around my town, and it's got major highways. It says that some of them have bike routes running along them, so if I ended biking like Tokwan and the others said, I've got nice, easy, routes. It's good to have for day trips with the family too. I'll try to get to DNREC today so I can get some for other counties.

    Hopefully, it will be a nice easy route. Just remember that no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

    I could do that if I wanted to. Fortunately for me and my medical insurance provider I don't want to.

    I just added a new piece to my fire kit! 2 Duraflame starter logs, cut into thirds, and placed in a Ziploc bag. Now I can start a fire in very wet conditions, at least 6 fires, actually.

    Thanks. We had a bonfire last night, to ring in the New Year. I started it with all natural materials and lit it with, you guessed it, my ferro rod! I tried other tinder, but I think jute twine fluff is the best for me. It burns hot and quick, but as long as you toss some birch bark and pine needles on it quick enough, you can get some kindling going easily. I got to test my char-tin out by making a little charcloth, which is nice to have for emergencies. Overall, last night was extraordinarily productive. Thanks for all of the advice!
