The Unbeaten Path Waits...

It's been a long hard winter here in Wisconsin. Not only have the temps reached -30 countless times, I was busy every weekend with work and job hunting resulting in me not winter camping for the first time in 4 or 5 years. But now the clutches of winter are lessening, I'm done with college and it's time for me to trek the wilds once again.

Though my companions are all busy this weekend, this lone wolf is finally able to go trekking once again. As you can see my bags are all packed, my map made (not in the picture) and my spirits are high. I will add pictures once I get back. I hope that all of you get to enjoy numerous treks and outings this year.

Just remember "It's a dangerous business, going out your door."

My bedroll is made up of an oilcloth and a wool blanket. Rolled up in the bedroll i have an old coffee can I use as a billy pot, a sack with a mix of rice, bulgar wheat, and dried mushrooms. Another sack with oatmeal, a small sack of coffee, a wooden spoon i made from a stick, a spice kit,flint and steel, and a spare pair of wool socks. In my haversack I have my map, bandana, compass, and walnuts to eat on the trail. and as always I will be bringing my cloak. I also plan on bringing a pencil and paper and possibly write a short story by firelight. If i can think of anything good I will post in later.

Nice gear, it's great that you are able to get out there and use it. What is your canteen there?
