[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 1991159, member: 3128"] Family, kids, SO's, Dads, etc... You bet! I totally agree with a loose agenda. The A.O.O. (area of operations) is about 70 acres. With the numbers we re possibly looking at, I might try and move this little party to my pa-n-law's place about a mile west. It is 175 acres. Either place is well suited for what we are wanting to do. They are about 70/30 open prairie to wooded patches. As far as firearms, I really don't care what you bring so long as it is safe and in good repair. I'm a firearms instructor and a buddy of mine, jakerz, from OSA, is pretty well schooled it the art of putting lead downrange. I'm pretty sure we could cook up some things that would be beneficial to everyone as far as drills and defensive/offensive tactics goes. I will say that if your planning on bringing little ones, make sure they are prepared to be without an Xbox and Facebook for a couple days. I have two and understand the attention span, or lack thereof, can be an issue for parents. I want this to be several things: 1st. Safe 2nd. Fun 3rd. Informative 4th. To a point... Serious We need to treat this as more than just a camping trip. I'm pretty sure most of you are in agreement and have posted some great ideas and requests. I know we are several months out, but now is the time to begin planning. As I've mentioned, I will have water available and plan on having a john deere gator handy is case we have a medical emergency or unforeseen contingency. I plan on having and keeping a main firepit going at all times with a grate for cooking. that doesn't mean you cannot build your own or bring your handy dandy bob stoves! As we get closer, we need to compile a generic list of bob items, too. I've got NASAR and FEMA lists, but I'd rather you guys chime it and we can all add to and tailor them as needed. [/QUOTE]
