Mac,

I'm still looking.

The Colleges that went to the conference were Whitman, Occidental, Oberlin, and Colorado.

I'm just looking for a good liberal arts college.

I'll let Cloak answer for himself.

Actually, we still carried most of our knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

We had our thigh rigs. I' still had my FBM. Cloak had both his Ranger and RTAK. We still had our RMDs. In addition to the various folders and leathermans that we carry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Michelango,

Thanks for the comment.

Before this weather it was also really rainy. If you've seen our previous threads the forest doesn't look like the pictures above. It looked like a rain forest. All wet and muddy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

And thanks for the tip. That's what the notch in the drill hole was for. The wood was already dried cedar from our last chopping extravaganza and was very good wood for burning.

The notch was their so that we could place some dry flammable material to get it going. However, we weren't able to the wood hot enough to get a coal and start a fire. We didn't drill long enough. Though next time, we'll should be able to get a smaller fire going.
