November Hike Cancelled! Due to scheduling issues. Hikes will resume, probably after the holidays. For those of you who missed out before, this is your opportunity to come out and enjoy a challenging stride through the countryside. I am finally getting on the ball and scheduling several hikes for the fall, so hopefully you can align your schedules before we jump off. So far we have not had to cancel an event for weather and we have hiked and camped in the low 20s, snow, and most recently pouring rain. If you are unfamiliar with these events, we usually includes an arfcom meetup/campout the night before where we have a relaxed time of fellowship around the campfire and often a night hike. In the morning we do a "Standard APC Hike" and then often, a training activity. Our activities have ranged from radio distance transmission exercises and antenna building to training at a local range. The standard APC hike conditions are completing 6 miles in under two hours while carrying 35lbs + rifle or 45lbs with no rifle. Our current scheduled dates: Next Hike - Friday evening will be the Arfcom camp and hangout time - Saturday morning we will start the APC hike at 9am. |

Reminder of this weeks hike Sept 14. Even if you do not want to make the hike, you are welcome to join us in camp either the night before or the day of. If you can't make that, the October date is right around the corner Oct 18th/19th! @Bye_Felicia @HurleyS @TrashWrencher |

Quoted: I’ll be there with a friend Quoted: I’ll be there with a friend Awesome! Quoted: Man I want to do one of these. October might be a possibility. Do it! We always have a great time and (so far) everyone who has come out for one of these has been a quality dude. |

Quoted: I’d love to see you at another event! Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Anyone want to do some late fall ropes/rappelling? Yes. But I’ll need complete instruction. I’d love to see you at another event! Thanks!!! Looking forward to being able to get to more events. It’s mostly work that is keeping me really busy. And- I have a big desire to get in a tree with a bow… It would be helpful if we picked a meeting place that has cell service so I can work as needed while there. |

Quoted: I haven’t done that in 20 years, I think I would die Quoted: Quoted: Anyone want to do some late fall ropes/rappelling? I haven’t done that in 20 years, I think I would die I also have not done it in 20 years either, but I think it would be fun to try again. I have been wanting to get back into it, but have not wanted to spend on the ropes and figure 8s. I also think ropes and pulley systems would fit right into the APC mantra of training in light engineering roles. A 9 to 1 pulley system can move impressive things with little (by comparison) effort. @lfactual |

Ive been doing a terrible job of keeping this updated. I did just add the November date. If you are on the fence, get off it and come out. The camping and fellowship is fun and the hiking is challenging. Being with men doing hard things will bring out the best in you and others. November 15th and 16th (Hike on 16th). Quoted: I think LFActual got the ban hammer, maybe for posting one of his youtube videos or something. Who knows. If anyone wants a link to his website, for Missouri event stuff, you can send me an IM. That sounds like the typical arfcom fashion, the old left boot of fellowship. Another reason for connecting with real people. You do not have to be a member here or RSVP to join us. If that is you and you want to reach out for details, I do try to monitor this email: Click To View Spoiler |
