Wow, 15 years, 20 years... I'm just about to hit 2 1/2 years with my girlfriend/fiance (as soon as I get a legit job). Congrats to both of you!

I agree with Chapman, the wife & I will have 25 in January 2012 and I know how much work it takes to keep a family together so good job to both of you!

Nailed down the days off from work today. May is going to be busy, gotta go to Illinois the first week, Pennsylvania the second week, third week opened up for Camp Commander, then back to Illinois the fourth week.

Can downed trees be cut in the Forrest? I'll bring the chainsaw if we can.
Can we fill up water jugs at the outpost? I'd rather fill up a few gallons there than haul the weight.

I can also supply a tent, air mattress, sleeping bag, if anyone needs it. Sounds like I should bring the French press, percolator, and just wait till you see my DIY percolator. I'll bring my spare hammock along for anyone that may want to lounge around or take a nap.

Few other little things some might bring:
Camp shoes-sure feels good after a long day
Wet naps/wet ones-makes a man feel freash before bed, and keeps the stank down
Spare water bottles for the trail, both drinking and overheating
Don't forget your compass for Sal's orienteering class. I can supply topo of the area if anyone is interested.
Small shovel or trial-for digging cat holes.

If anyone needs anything as far as camp gear goes, let me know, I'll be bringing my big stove which I don't have to use. So if anyone needs a stove, they will be more than welcome to borrow it. I have a few additional items that I could loan out also.

Cool deal. I got my new Flowmaster welded on today !!

Cool glad you got the time off out of the way. Unless you're a sawyer you're not suppose to use a chainsaw period in the forest. That being said I know people who do for firewood, but I'll have my reciprocating saw on me which is usually enough for the size trees we have at Uwharrie. Not sure about getting water from the outpost but I know the camp sites have spigots. I carry a case of water and a 7 gallon jug which is usually more then enough water. Baby wipes I have some in the jeep right now I never leave home with out them you never know when the moment will strike LOL. If you have or can get maps bring them thats awesome if they have the grid lines on them even better. I don't need anything myself but others should post if they do.
