into the field

Well, we leave for the field tomorrow.  It will be four days in the wilderness with both food and sleep dep.  After not eating for a while we will be killing our own rabbit and eating it.  By that time anything will sound appetizing.  
     The last part of the week was filled with sewing.  Over the weekend I spent 20 hour sewing.  The goal is not to have sewing skills, instead our instructors want to see that they can give us a task and trust us to get it done.  It was a lesson in patience for me but I got it all done.  Now I am jsut looking forward to going out into the field.  We are now down to 6 of the original 20 that started.  Anywho, tonight I am getting as much food and sleep as i can for the field.  Hope everyone is doing well as always.  Thought I would post a picture of the PT gear that we wear on a daily basis.  Take special notice to the daisy dukes style of shorts we are required to wear.  Also sorry for the picture quality all of the picture have been taken with my computer.  When I get up to Washington I will have my camera.  Wish me luck in the field!
