I think people tasked with organizing training quickly discover that everyone wants to train, it's just that no one wants to train.

Indeed.
I did a dry run solo at Torreya this last weekend so its no skin off my back.
(Even though it took me almost an hour to start a fire)
That's either good or bad - depends on if you had a cigarette lighter or bow drill.Quote:

Based on the Pat Mac thing, and several others, I think we have a core group that has an appetite for training. Pat Mac worked (for me) because it was far enough in advance that I could plan for it. I just can't always do spur of the moment. And with 3 kids involved in activities all over creation, spur of the moment is less than 2 months planning time.Quote:

If I wasn't working 80 hour weeks and my wife wasn't 8 months pregnant, Id be in. I just can't right now.
I hope you guys do it and have a hell of a time.
Wish I would have known that. I would have enjoyed participating.Quote:
