    The works and you carry anything else in your duffel bags. You have A and B duffel bags for different climates that get loaded up and stored elsewhere. You keep your rucksack and full battle rattle on/with you including rifle. No civilian clothing, you have a pack list and that is gone over and...

    My first deployment I came out of Ft Campbell, KY 101st Airborne, it was about a foot of snow on the ground. Within 18 hours I was in Kuwait desert running through the night to a waiting bus to transport us to our camp. Many of times thereafter, I went from one climate extreme to another.

    Winds gusting over 70 mph today followed by a foot of snow tomorrow with winds around 50 mph when that hits. Yeah it's going to drift like a mf'er closing down the roads into town. I would get my 5 ton ready out to pull people out, but if you look outside your door, behold the field which I grow...

    Hello everyone

    I feel like I am back home again. Thought I would never see that place again. Swear going from Iraq to Kuwait was like going from 1980 to 2020.

    That's just insanity no matter which side you look at it. We have events as such in town and we avoid the town for the week they are held i.e. Bucking Horse sale, or as we call it, Drunken Horse sale, but months of events like that...Nope... Lived in Port Angeles which they didn't shut down as...

    Sitting here with 2 hours to get the excavator tracked down the ridge and ready to unload 60k lbs worth of pipe in a blizzard. Which is going to track right by some special neighbors who are going to start calling authorities cause I tracked it 400 ft on the main road. Not that it is illegal or...

    73°F today, blizzard tomorrow on the day I need to unload 60k lbs of pipe for my fence. Then we get a small reprieve and starting next Friday for the next week it's going to snow. After that it will jump into mid 60's. I don't follow this time change thing, it's nice.

    Mine came from my dad as a kid "keep up or get your arse beat", then came the military and it was "move with a purpose", I already did by then. Take in account I could flatten 2 miles in less than 10 minutes in my prime. Amongst other things as a child, I was military material by the time I got...

    My 10k steps equals 20k plus steps for the wife, it's cute to compare numbers in that regards. I have a 46 inch stride that maxes out at 5.1 miles per an hour according to my watch. We take hikes around our properties and she has to constantly double time it to keep up. Even with this injury I'm...

    Like a custody battle on reality TV with temperatures here and they are fighting over who gets winter and who gets spring. Was a nice 67°F yesterday and without no warning what so ever we got snow of 3 inches this evening coming. Don't worry it will be 72°F come Sunday.
