WOW!! Didn't realize how much I have already done until I started adding it up. Unfortunately I was so far behind that I am still playing catch-up. Anyway, here's what I've done so far:
1) I have been gathering QUALITY equipment for EDC, personal-sized kits, and larger day-pack sized kits, including Pocket Survival Paks, Heat Sheets blankets and Bivvys, large bandanas, mil-spec snare wire, and more.
2) Using these items I have put together three day-pack sized kits, three personal kits, and one mini-kit for EDC.
3) Tons of research online that has led to some hands-on practice and teaching opportunities with my son and will culminate in his first Boy Scout campout the last weekend of September.
It may not sound like a lot and though I have come a long way I admittedly still have a long way to go (including two more mini kits and some quality and practical FAKs). Wish me luck.
