Some people go shopping on black Friday.
We go coon hunting.
We've got some friends that keep coon dogs and, at least once a year, we invite them to hunt in our woods.
The dogs treed this big boar coon right away.
We then treed two sets of doubles and ended the night with 5 coons in the truck.

Completed the job before the rain arrived, passed county inspection, and the homeowner was thoroughly impressed with our skill and efficiency.
Now I'm going to give myself a day off to go deer hunting.

walked several miles with a thirty pound pack, cooked over fire, and slept in a canvas tent.
No internet, only used my phone to look at maps and send lora messages.
Have I missed anything while I was away?

Garmin inReach for GPS and satellite messaging.
Meshtastic devices for each member of the hunting group for short range messaging and backup GPS.
Also put together a solar relay we can stash at a high elevation.

This is a pressed Virginia blend and was the preferred tobacco of Professor Tolkien.
Classic pure Virginia flavor, grassy with some natural sweetness, great for blowing smoke rings while wishing to see mountains, explore caves, and to wear a sword instead of a walking stick.

So instead, we got the poles, went down to the pond, flipped over a log to find some grubs, and fished.
No complaints.

I often omit the firearm in my edc posts, so as not to continually doxx my gun, but the fact is, I'm always armed.
This week, I'm running five rounds of .357 Magnum

It's made to fit 20 half-pint, wide-mouth jars.
Sourced the wood from a dismantled pallet
Lego Gandalf approves.
