The "bend?" I dunno, man. I'm in Redding and, if I remember correctly, there's another couple dudes around here. Quoted:

If anyone wants to do this is Cali, let me know. Quoted:
-snip- I'm up by the "bend", about 2 hours from San Fran. No one lives up here.  I dunno, man. I'm in Redding and, if I remember correctly, there's another couple dudes around here. 
The bend. The bit where California "bends" along the Nevada border. That's what I call it anyway.
Redding or somewhere in between wouldn't be bad. |

APB for the Pgh guys. Running sounds horrible but a nice hike in the woods isnt all that bad. @OverScopted @JK_Pyre @Hill_monkey @Keystone_10mm @DeathHates |

Been hunting with jk_pyre a handful of times now. Found some arfcommers (not very active) last weekend. Also, part of the cola wars. |

@jk_pyre has an open invitation to visit and/or hunt at my home. Quoted:

To be clear the training tge mentioned was a rifle and pistol class. It wasn't a hike like what the Op mentioned. However since he put my name on blast  I've received several IMs and mentions in this thread with people being interested. let me see if I can try to organize something somewhere. Perhaps Lake Ray Roberts. I might wait until after the holidays given that everyone is probably pretty busy between now and then. That will give me some time to organize an event.if you are interested and willing to go a little further than B Tactical, then we could possibly even go to my ranch... |

For that chart, the word "RUN" should have been changed to "WALK" Quoted:

Last link I saw showed standards to 54 YOA. Or a link. I am not navigating the OP link well. Still looking.

Cool. Looks like we're waiting on someone to lead it... Might end up being me. I was contacted by someone with some Ray Roberts experience so his knowledge will help. Keep an eye on the htf. My head thinks to wait until after the holidays since everyone is so busy, we'll see I did however grow up on a dry empty piece of land that would be Lake Ray Roberts

Correct. You must do situps and push ups, but can choose to either run or swim. Quoted:

I noticed the fitness standards stop at age 39. Does that mean I am exempt? The sit-ups, push-ups and running parts are pretty lax for 50+ farts like me. So that's an either-or with the running or swimming? Any of the two swims or the run? |

I bet @jefflebowski would murder that swim Quoted:

My last 500 year swim was 11:00 or so. The running is the one thing that comes hard for me since my back surgery. ETA: but I can walk 5 miles in 60 minutes. |

Quoted: @JoeMal, let me know what you organize, I am interested... if you are interested and willing to go a little further than B Tactical, then we could possibly even go to my ranch... |

Yup. Battle Buddies should be swimming in cammies. Quoted:

Quoted: @JoeMal there is a 7.8 mile loop at Erwin Park. They also allow camping. There are a few sites with a fire pit and pavilion. Might be able to do a night vision ruck. It would be neat if someone had land we could do this all on and combined carrying rifles and shooting. if you would hurry up and hit the lotto we can make that work

How about we get folk off the couch and out of the basement before we talk about reenacting scenes from Jaws? Quoted:

That sounds interesting. My only fear is there are people that would be willing to do a day hike but don't have nods so they wouldn't be able to participate. maybe the first time we do a day hike and then we set up a night hike as a separate event. It would be neat if someone had land we could do this all on and combined carrying rifles and shooting. if you would hurry up and hit the lotto we can make that work Quoted:

Knob hills trail is a13 mile loop, with many options for to shorten it. It's a MTB trail so the terrain varies from rocky/hilly to flat next to the creek. Just north of Roanoke. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/texas/knob-hill-trail--4 Quoted:

Another option is LBJ grasslands out by Decatur. They have 75 miles of trails and shotguns can be carried without permit requirements. But its hunting season and public lands are being heavily used right now, hunter orange is a great idea. |

Battle of the Bulge, too. I'm sure you'd just lol and I'd almost drown, but the offer stands |

We had six participants in our hike today in NOVA.
Congrats to @WhiskersTheCat of the NOVA Battle Buddies on being the first to complete the requirements for his Battle Buddy Piss Cutter. He more than exceeded the minimum pace requirement on his final required hike, averaging 16:07 per mile, 33 seconds per mile under the passing pace!
