I know a guy that carries a full pack (many, many pounds) of gear just to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He had a firearm, change of clothes, fire making stuff, three days of quick rations, and a shelter of some sort. He developed this habit when he was growing up outside of Fairbanks, Alaska where the trip to the outhouse in the middle of the night could get tricky. I knew him in Arizona. He did the same thing. I used to make fun of him because I said the only thing missing from his "daypack" was a glass-blowing kit. He is a prime example of being prepared. I learned a lot just from my association with him. Your Scouts are fortunate to have someone like you. Good show!!
