Training Primer: Saturday morning I am going to empty my LLBean Continental Weekender pack, do a flat layout and inventory the contents with the express purpose of eliminating excess items and repacking the Weekender Bag. I will undertake a four mile hike, cross country off-trail. During the afternoon, I am going to set up my hammock and tarp for a campsite in my back yard. I will reconstitute a freeze dried dinner with water boiled from either a fire or a stove. I will spend the night in the hammock adding a foam pad under me and foresters quilt for cover. In the morning I will make coffee and call it an exercise. The weather forecast is for mixed conditions and I am starting the exercise rain or shine.

My woods has a creek running through it. And pines on both sides. So I went with pine and birch bark for this exercise.

Fire kit. 2 ferro rods Mag lens 3 different fire starts Knife Flint and steel Lighter Hose reaches out to my front yard where my fire pit it. Could not find actual rules or laws on the dnr website.
