I figured this is the most generalized area in your forums, so I thought I would introduce myself. I am new to a lot of these topics, but I can come to learn. I recently purchased my first family tent a Eureka Assault 4 season, and 4 ECWS sleeping bags for the family. I've some decent milspec outer wear, MRES. I have been researching water filtration systems for a little while and have narrowed it down to a Katadyn Pocket Water Filter.

My goal like the boyscout motto is to "be prepared", and enjoy some of the outdoors while I am at it. I am looking foward to learning at the feet of the experts in here. Also, I just wanted to say, "Howdy"
