Of course i brought a knife, 4 actually.
Also some more of my own equipment:
Large capacity pack
Small capacity day pack with 2L water reservoir
Hatchet
Sleeping bag and Gortex Bivoac no tent though
Small emergency kit
A three gallon soft plastic water jug (easy to fill)
1 pot around 4 qts
A .22 cal rifle open sight 500 rnds. It's all i could get a hold of.
300 ft paracord

Out of food though... but I have been eating here and there so I'm not doing bad.

I definitely have the fishing gear covered as well. and we can use those larger tin cans of yours for some tickling in the creek.

Me and Marcraft will go out and set some traps in the morning if he hasn't set enough up already, something he could definitely help me out with.

Check with FVR, Trax, WE, and even VW before going out so that you can co-ordinate with them. An accidental kill would be bad!

BTW, I'm truly impressed with your gear list. What make is your .2 rifle?

Of course I will coordinate with the guys, I already had a chat with VW anyways.

I have no idea what make it is, I'll get back to you on that if i get the chance. It's not a usual item on my list but this is an extreme situation so I figured it would be good to keep handy.

Ok back with 2 gal. bucket of acorns (climbed a few trees) and some thistle roots for Sarge to cook up, or they can be eaten raw. Sarge you can put them in the stew if you like.
Do you need more acorns FVR? I wasn’t sure how much to get.

Nell thanks for getting acorns with me.

**FVR** · 08-31-2007, 11:29 PM

Owl Girl,

2 gal is fine. Set them to the side.

I will make up two fleshing beams tomm. and we can get to work.

Sarge, save me a few deer thigh bones, need to make flesh scrapers.

Please do not salt the hides, waste of salt.

Sounds good, I'm cool with no watch duty if you don't need me to.

**wareagle69** · 08-31-2007, 11:43 PM

i guess while i am in camp i will need to debrief the newcomers or has someone already taken care of that? VW or FVR.

hey fvr notice your standing back in the shadows not to close to the fire wise move any how i noticed the cat tracks also the ones i found seemed to be a couple of days old personally i don't think we will have a problem with him probably went deep bush when the a/o started getting crowded but the bears are another thing. it was a pretty dry summer not much for berries and such. hopefully our food doesn't attract but there are enough ppl here just might deter them, how bout another shot before we both head out, little bit chilly tonight, clear skies might get a bit of frost.

**FVR** · 08-31-2007, 11:47 PM

I think we are going to have to have a sit down.

Hunters / trappers (growing subgroup), ya'll need a squad leader to keep track of hunters out, times out, and areas hunting. Nothing worse than having a kill missed by a buddy's intrusion.

Hunters not out can help with the latrine, the bus, the root cellar, and misc. camp duties.

We need to find an area with good trees to fell for a few structures. I suggest that we do not cut them down from around our camp as that will open us up.

WE or I can do a scout for the trees. Most already downed trees around camp have been taken care of. We have a total of 6 cords of dried, debarked hardwood. We also have about 4.5 cords of debarked hardwood, that need a month or two to be complete, and 2 cords of green barked hardwood.

We will also have another cord of almost seasoned, with bark on that will be available once I move into my tepee. My foxhole is more like a little bomb shelter, LOL. May just want to keep it for storage.

Sarge, tomm., let's get a cord down by your cooking area. I just hate seeing you hobble up and down this 60 yards carrying wood.

must be a type-o SM i'm sure he means you and not survivorman

**FVR** · 08-31-2007, 11:50 PM

I know, just playin. But i thought I saw a mention of SMII or something somewhere, but that may not have been this thread.

**DEET** · 08-31-2007, 11:53 PM

Lets head over to those abandoned trucks I need to collect some parts to make my still. That's right sports fans I know how to build and run a still (I am from West Virginia you know

)

**spiritman** · 08-31-2007, 11:53 PM

Bus+ Dirt = root cellar

**FVR** · 08-31-2007, 11:58 PM

I was figureing on bus and dirt equals bomb shelter. Front door, back door, but you won't find me in it.

Have this little thing about closed spaces underground, my foxhole is just fine but a tin can, no way.

Deet, you speak'n of RiM's trucks? I would not mess with them, don't need no fueding.

Hey, ask them if you see them that if they can locate some chicken wire I will make them and us a few turtle and fish traps.

It's both at the same time, a stocked bomb shelter. And if we did it thoroughly it would fit everybody.

**FVR** · 09-01-2007, 12:05 AM

Everybody, but me.

I'm hitting the woods hoss.

**spiritman** · 09-01-2007, 12:06 AM

If we get bombed? We aren't a big enough group YET

**ryaninmichigan** · 09-01-2007, 12:09 AM

THANKS about the trucks. and you do not need chicken wire. got some empty cofee cans? let me show you.....

**FVR** · 09-01-2007, 12:11 AM

Sounds good. I think we can dig up some coffee cans, hell the way we are going through it over here. I think Sarge has a couple dozen in his tin cave.
