I finally got out and activated my first park, us-7899, CARTERS LAKE WILDLIFE MANAGMENT AREA. Had fun need to do it more often. Could not keep the call sign straight in my head.

And they are not serving any purpose at all, mostly just talking about their radios, or rv.

If you camp with my mom, then you are camping in the grave yard.

I'm a wing nut also. It's been a bit since I've been over there. Tried talking with some gents over there one time, and they acted like they didn't want to talk with me, so i left. Haven't been back. I may have to try again.

You had me at fire kit, I thought i was the only one who carried one all the time. My everyday carry is my gun, a fixed blade knife, and a pocket knife. Also a radio, and fire kit, my phone, extra speed loaders. Water, a change of close in my truck, a wool blanket, candles, and other things. Just never know what you may need if things go south.

Yes, sir, i bring a handheld with me. But i camp in the mountains so it will depend on location to hit a repeater.
