Re: Fitness Goals
Now that the weather has warmed up my wife and I have been walking. We are up to 3.5 miles about every other day. Weights at the gym on off days along with some other cardio (stair stepper, treadmill etc). At least when we are home, time of the year when we are going to the woods house 3-4 days a we...

Re: Fitness Goals
My fitness goals have changed slightly. Still in training for next year's adventure race, but.... My wife and I just booked an adventure cruise in Alaska. We had been to Alaska in 2017 when we rented an RV and did the interior, fishing, hiking and camping for 26 days. This time we are doing the insi...

More MRE & HDR info
Actually been learning a thing or two about MREs. -There is a date stamped/imbedded in the heavy plastic outer packaging. It is a 4 digit code in the Julian calendar. To convert it to our date you need to do a google search for MRE date code. When converted it tells you when the MRE or HDR was made,...

Re: Survival Cache
I just found my note books, maps and binder with all my info I put together for my bike bugout. I noticed in my plan that I had the railroad tracks marked out. There are tracks that go north then swing north west almost the entire way. Some of those tracks have been turned into bike paths (Rails to ...

Re: MREs
I just picked up 17 MREs with heaters for $17. The guy I bought them from said the MREs were way out of date but still sealed "but don't eat them". He was selling them just for the heaters. When I got them home I checked the the date code on them which says they expired in Oct '23. From ev...

Re: Survival Cache
I hadn't really thought much about caches along the way to a bug out location (BOL). I was thinking about just stashing/hiding stuff at the site. And yes, it's much better to have a place to go than to simply get out of Dodge without a plan or destination in mind. My bug out location (BOL) is my woo...

Along the way, he had two buried caches. One weekend, we went to his retreat area. 1. yes it was rural; 2. essen...

Re: Survival Cache
I could just bury a ammo can full of stuff in my pole barn and my kids might find it after I'm gone. Make a note for my Will..."there is a survival cache buried in the pole barn. Have fun finding it." For that matter I could stick it under the house in the crawl space or hang it from the r...

Re: Survival Cache
Good point considering I'm still finding ammo and tools I stashed away in full sight in my old shed and cabin.
