Training to Survive Part 4 - The final days

Backpack
In addition to a survival kit, a good, comfortable backpack is mandatory. Loads of about 18 kg (40 lb.) are average. Items to include are; flashlight, extra jacket, socks and mittens, a pocket saw, gas camp stove, first aid kit, emergency food, and a tent and fly.









Well last night was the finale of the training portion of the Ocho's Training to Survive campaign. The good news is that HP08 managed to swim her 750 yards, plus an extra 200 yards just in case. There was a break between the two lengths, but she felt pretty good after the first 750, so HP08 is pretty sure she won't drown. She is a little worried about the craziness of the open water and the jockeying for space with the other swimmer, but armed with her new suit, the power of the tankini and the support of the HP sisters, she believes she'll live to see another day.

Brace yourselves Bath County, here come the HPs!!!
