Saturday morning started as planned. I inventoried my Continental Weekender and re-packed it anticipating the over-night. I drove to the conservation area and completed the 3.6 mile hike with the pack. Approximately 25 lbs, with boots, and partially cross country. Two-hours, 13 minutes. I was not unhappy with 1.64 mph especially as I was exploring and collecting resources. I sourced birch bark and Atlantic White Cedar bark all to be dryed out in my hoody pocket and used for a fire that eventing. When I got home, domestically, things completely fell apart. My clothing was quite wet from inside and out, which would have been an issue and a fire would have been essential to dry things out before sleeping. My fire was inside instead of outside and we moved forward. My gear had to be brought in and dried out, although I was extrelely happy with how is survived a wet hike. With just a foam pad and a poncho liner, it would have been a cold night. If I stay with the gathered end hammocks, I should look into a top and bottom quilt. Looking at a couple from OneWind that are not too expensive. All my photos came out in the wrong format. Something else I need to fix.

Training Primer: Saturday morning I am going to empty my LLBean Continental Weekender pack, do a flat layout and inventory the contents with the express purpose of eliminating excess items and repacking the Weekender Bag. I will undertake a four mile hike, cross country off-trail. During the afternoon, I am going to set up my hammock and tarp for a campsite in my back yard. I will reconstitute a freeze dried dinner with water boiled from either a fire or a stove. I will spend the night in the hammock adding a foam pad under me and foresters quilt for cover. In the morning I will make coffee and call it an exercise. The weather forecast is for mixed conditions and I am starting the exercise rain or shine.
