Today I went to practice one stiking to get more comfortable doing it and work out any bugs with my stuff.
I been climbing different type trees to see if it will work across the board for me and so far so good.
As with all my tree stands I am getting it to a repeatable method.
I like to climb up and down in a specific order everytime as much as possible.
I substituted my tether for a long line and on my first climb today I forgot to clip my bow line to my belt.
Not that I was going to haul the bow up but I use the same line to retrieve my rappel/climb line with after I descend.
I made a Blake's hitch and went back up with bow line in tow.
What a pain that was without a slack tender. Lol
This is a fine example of why I get an order of operation and stick to it.
Really liking the system.( Cain method)

I found my self in the scariest situation of my life today and of course I left my CCW pistol at home.......


I had to go grocery shopping since my wife was home with a week old baby! Costco and the grocery store are terrifying on a normal day!

The wife unit and I went to the grocery store and it was like the apocalypse had arrived and I looked at her and said, “Hey dear...remember when I said we should own some property to escape to and a few months ago when I said it might not be a bad idea to stock the pantry just in case?”

I drove 3/4 of the way up to Lansing, MI for the 2020 Field and Stream Expo to sit in the Phantom again and check out the other stuff there. When I checked the website for the final directions to the event, it had been canceled. Nice day for a drive I guess.

Today my son and I took his two beagle pups out with my two oldest to get the pups some work. My female is 9 and has slowed tremendously and simply can’t keep up with my male, who’s 7, and when you add in two pups we had ourselves a regular ole cluster, lol. My two got on one and ran it for about 45 minutes and the pups never opened up which was rather disconcerting. Then one of the pups jumped a rabbit and sounded and it’s was on them. Ended a lot better than it started.

Oh yeah, Sharpen broadheads. Today I got six 3 blade VPA 250 gr. glue ons in the mail.
I tried to shave my arm but not quite there out of the box.
I'm really looking forward to trying these.

Then I went to menards for a shower mixing valve cartridge. Holy cripes! I had to hike from the adjacent chic fillet parking lot. People are losing it with the virus.
