I know we've kicked around the idea of a HTF meetup for years, but I think partly due to low HTF activity, it's never precipitated.
I'm not sure if anyone has followed the American Pioneer Corps thread in GD, but it's a new organization that is focused on networking in your local community and developing personal skills to help make you a well rounded and prepared individual. Read up here: https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/American-Battle-Buddies-American-Pioneer-Corps-Guidelines/5-2291145/? The initial activities each local group organizes involves a hike. You do not need to follow the guidelines to participate. Participation by anyone and in any capacity is encouraged, but if you want to work toward developing your skills in the prescribed manner, the hike will adhere to the following: -Hike at least 6 miles -Maintain >3mph pace -Carry a pack with 45lbs (alternatively 35lbs plus rifle) not including water; since this will be in Baton Rouge, I propose that we don't hike with slung rifles and either put them in our packs or just carry the extra 10lbs  Attending: Captain_Morgan Bcamp15 toddmtnbkr Maybe: alpha0815 Who else is in? |

Gonna @ some locals since the forum doesn't get much traffic. Starting with some of y'all that participate the most.
@alpha0815 @HEdad @olekennyroy @77Bronc @scotchymcdrinkerbean I think you can only do 5 @ per post, I might have to spam my own thread.

My wife just saw that Hooper is having a bike meetup next Sat anyway, so it would be better to do Comite. Sounds like we have at least three people that can do it Sat. So let’s make that official. Want to target a start time of 8:30? If anyone is going to drive it, I don't want to start too early, but don't want to finish too late. Hike time will be approx. 2hrs. |

Copy that.
Comite 0830-1030. Hooper hustle is 9/19 @ 0900. So yeah. Hooper is a no go. I’m a member of BRAMBA too. We can add 1 mile at the 4.5 mile marker if we want to (out and back in connection trail). We can assess and decide at that point depending on how the crew is doing. I may wear a PC too, no mags etc. see y’all there. Looking forward to it. I’ll post up in BRAMBA fb group that we’ll be out there, hiking, counterclockwise (as MTB traffic will be clockwise). |

I did a test run yesterday to make sure I could. It was tough but doable. I’m in reasonable shape though. Kendalwood Road park  Attached File |

Part of what Ben has set up with the establishment of the APC is to encourage us to get out and regularly do these activities.
It won’t be every weekend, but my hope is that we can get a solid group together to meetup at least once a month. Keep an eye out in this HTF for future updates. |

I subscribed to this thread.
I rarely post but am on here every day. If anyone here is interested I try to make most 3 gun matches in Poplarville Ms first Sundays and occasionally attend Tuesday night practice session at FRC Range in B.R. on Choctaw. I've done a decent amount of hiking with my son's Boy Scout group last few years but recently started having issues with Arthritis in pelvis joints. Getting OLD SUCKS. |

@Captain_Morgan
Hey I do appreciate the mention for this get together, but with the current C-19 issue I will have to pass. It sounds like a very worth while plan and will benefit everyone greatly. I do wish yall good luck and good weather. I am 62 years old and trying my best to keep my exposure minimal due to the virus....getting my exercise by biking the St Tammany Trace by my self Take care and stay safe Keep us updated on the progress and outcome |

AllTrails
I have an iphone, and the only complaint I had is that it apparently doesn’t do elevation change very accurately. Otherwise it tracked everything I wanted plus it will tell you what trails are local to you. |

I’d love to guys and I’m maybe as of now.
My wife is prego with our first and it’s been a rough first trimester. Not sure I’ll be able to get away but I’m playing it by ear. This is a great idea and would love to try to do more of these. |

I’m supposed to have a work weekend this weekend, the 19th of course. The dozer showed up yesterday and unless this little hurricane changes course again, I’ll be in MS all weekend. If that changes, I’m in and I’ll certainly be in going forward.

HEdad, no worries if you can’t make it this time. Hopefully MS comes out OK. We’ll do this again in the future.
Bcamp, I agree. Don’t overdo it. Bring water though! The past couple times I tried, I sweat my ass off.

Main concern would be potentially tearing up the trails.
Not sure how much foot traffic would do that or not, but I know we strongly discourage MTB out there, when it’s wet. Thoughts? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Captain_Morgan: I can’t imagine three people in a light rain would tear up a trail, but I’m open to any suggestions. Definitely agree. Foot traffic is much more controllable (staying out of wet holes, by going around them). I’m gonna head out there. White 4Runner. Be advised though. BREC and/or BRAMBA does lock the gate some times, due to poor trail conditions. |

Damn, I knew Shreveport was “the far north” for you South Louisiana guys, but calling us Arkansans? That’s going too far!
