So I requested the time off a month ago, and got denied. I was like "WHAAAATTT!!!" cuz I've never been denied time off, and I checked the request calendar. At first, I figured it was something to do with busy time. Campout is scheduled during the one weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas changes to code are authorized. Changing code is kinda a big deal for my department, so I could understand. Turns out, sumdood had already requested the time, and hadn't posted to the calendar because of the new way my job has us request the time off.bummer....maybe spring. SIGH.Only bonus is that the Tampabay hamfest is that Friday and saturday, and I'll be able to go to the friday part.

I am going to bring a couple of Thermal imaging units and Night Vision devices if anyone wants to play around with these. I'm driving six hours to this, so I won't be able to bring a truckload of firewood. Need everyone that can to bring some firewood with them. Thanks

[protus]

Rgr.we'll need the smoke LOL its gonna be warm LOL buzzzzzzzzzzzz...
But I'm praying to the snow gods to keep it cold LOL

What do you all think about having a STORAGE FOOD sampling there at the campout? In other words, everyone (that has some) brings a 2 1/2 can or #10 can of STORAGE FOOD to open and sample.

Tuna or ramen from the grocery store is not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about #10's or 2 1/2's of Freeze dried and dehydrated items, FD pouches, etc.

Let me know what y'all think.

[Templar]

We use our stores routinely. I will bring an assortment of FD and dehydrated stuff. T6 has even duplicated Carrabbas's sausage/lentil soup from stored food. It will be fun. Another Stone soup campout???

yeah im bringing some as well on sat. last batch was a lil green so if its warm least we'll smoke the bugs away lol


ill be honest. im not heavy in the #10 's. what i have is basics wheat,beans,sugar. only have a few cans of dehydrated fruit and the classic "bacon" tvp. thats about as fancy as i got. lol


i can donate other items for the meal though ...fresh eggs,,dried hot peppers /frozen fresh hot peppers (datil,jalapeno,habs and Tabasco) or hot sauces made from those. Fresh greens (spinach,lettuce,radishes).

our food plan changed once we "bugged" out to bfe.
see perfect PAW dinner ...self grown food meets canned storage food lmao!

i know its not storage food..but id like to pitch in some way.


just let me know ....

[Lowdown3]

Sweet!

This is going to be fun.

[Lowdown3]

I'm looking forward to having a day where I'm not on the phone all day taking orders :) It's been crazy busy lately, haven't had time to do hardly anything.
