AAR: Saturday / Sunday Overnight 5/2 - 5/3 Personal Challenge
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.
