So I went camping and ATVing with a group of friends and the DW. I went out on the trail with the ATV several times and had a great time. Spent hours on the trail pretty much care free. Got home and was thinking about the great weekend. Then it hit me- I had literally an ATV, a 40 cal. pistol, 3 bottles of water and a GPS. That is it. No knife, no FAK, no food. I was a minimalist this weekend. Luckily nothing bad happened. But...

I am the one preaching to friends and family that preparedness is the key to every (most) situations. I wasnt even close to being smart let alone prepared. Wow, I have truely disappointed myself.

My question is this, have any of you, had a lapse in common sence? I know we all have but in the context of this thread. I am not new to this game, so I actually had my entire BOB, a EMT bag, a major FAK and my EDC back at camp - that at times was sometimes 25 miles away. Anyway, alls well that ends well. I promised myself that it would not happen again though.
