Got lost in Eastern Nevada and came upon this herd of wild horses. And, by “lost” I mean got onto trails that showed on maps, but sometimes petered out, with a full tank of gas, 10 gallons of gas in Jerry cans, 11 gallons of water, and 5,000 calories of food onboard.

Haha! It was only the officers who got those in our unit. I only know them because I had to set them up!

Jack, which model tent is it? T3? T4? Other? Thanks!

I have the Gazelle T3. I love it. The only thing I’d change is go for the T4. It’s just a bit bigger; and for cots, that’s what you need.
