Craig made it

So I found out craig made it the other day. I am super excited for him to get up here. It will be great to go through team together. I feel incredibly blessed to be doing this at the same time. I just got back from the field last week. It is starting to snow up in the mountains which makes for really good preparation for winter class. The worst part about going out in the field in the winter is getting out of your sleeping bag in the morning. Ooooo...man. it is cold. But, everytime I am out there I build on my skills and my confidence. The first day we were out there we had to build a fire in wet conditions. This is always fun because nothing really lights when it is wet. So it is a lesson in patience. We also did a fire when it was snowing and to give us alittle more motivation to get it started the cadre made us take our shirts off so we get the "whole expierience". Anyways, it is alot of fun out there. Here are a couple pics from the last time we were at field. The giant structure that you see is called a quad pod. This is usually at the center of camp and what we build over the fire to keep the rain off. There is also a picture of us at pt in there. Ill check in again soon.
