Hey Guys,

Thanks for the tip Pete, but sadly, I'm not near any areas where the cat tails grow. I've taken to doubling up on my clothing; layers help. I just wish I had brought my combat jacket, that would've been extremely useful for the nights up in the Northern part of BC. Sadly, the Chain Of Command doesn't keep their soldiers informed of the "Game Plan". When I set out in August, I was only going to be down in the lower mainland/Vancouver area (very warm weather) until the 24th Oct. Now, they've decided to use me as the roaming tech for pretty much all sites in BC, especially the Northern sites, until 13th Nov.

For food, they've arranged a couple field kitchens; anyone who has served in the military can tell you how enjoyable those meals can be! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> BLEEECH!

Off and on I luck out and they have to send me to more populous areas for work fo a couple days (like this weekend), so I get to stay in a hotel room, eat decent food, and go to work at the sites in civvies. I managed to buy a couple sets of Under Armour long johns that aren't visible while in my combats on one of those "vacations". They've become a very treasured item for me when I'm in the mountains.

I can't exactly discuss too much about what I'm doing, other than to say I'm setting up communications at various sites.


Anyway, glad to see that I'm missed, and will be sure to try and get on again when I can.

Cheers, and have a great weekend guys.
