Medical - Have taken several introductory First Aid classes, very basic level stuff, so would like to try to take more First Aid training. As a plus this ties in with my involvement in the Boy Scouts too.
Shelter - DS and I have new hammocks, we'd like to try some hammock camping this spring and summer
Fire - Just made my first batch of char cloth last night, amazingly easy to make, wish I had tried it sooner (will definitely make more soon as this batch was used up in a fire-starting materials gift bag for the scouts and scouters in the troop), working on perfecting 3 techniques of matchless/lighterless fire starting so when the time comes we will be ready to teach that part of the wilderness survival merit badge
Water - still need to get a good water filter, and plan to set up grey water collection barrels this summer
Signaling - need to practice with the signal mirrors
Communication - very weak in this area, need to start looking into this more, for starters need a PLB or something comparable in case of an emergency in the wilderness, also need to look into the ham radios for long distance emergency communications, and i'd really like an NOAA weather radio that has battery, crank and solar power options
Wilderness Survival - got the gear, got the knowledge, time for some testing in relatively controlled settings; really excited about this after taking a BSA course on matchless fire starting, and seeing how easy it was to start a fire with a flint, steel and charcloth (with a bird's nest of fluffed up twine)
Defensive - another weak area, plan to take a CCW class and hopefully take a bit of training as well
Gear - got lots of good stuff and extras, now it's just tweaking and filling in the gaps as mentioned above, gear for keeping up with the Boy Scout adventures is taking priority
Other - Need to step up the home preps, tried getting DW involved, but to no avail, so gonna have to see to it myself I guess, maybe get DS more involved so he will feel less anxious about excessive rains and flooding in our area
