Alabama is an open carry state so 35lbs and a long gun or 45lbs in the ruck.  Looking to get guys their provisional as well as the guys that want to knock out hike 1. For 3rd class.

I have 2.1 miles of internal roads on my property as well as 1.5 mikes down a somewhat rarely used County highway.    Location is 13 miless north of selma.

I have camping,  restrooms aND showers as well as a pistol range.

I'll give an exact location when a date is announced.

We are doing our provisional hike in the fl panhandle trying to get the panhandle group up and running this Saturday, but let's make this happen.

I was boots on the ground in VA myself. 50lbs, 8 miles and 4 hours wandering the rally left me almost unable to walk the next day..  I won't let that happen again.

Send the location by email or IM.  You don't want a bunch of Liberals showing up.

1515 pine flat church rd Selma Alabama 36701 or Google dalwhinnie fields on google maps. That will take you to my front door.

When you see the fighting arena and stands as well as the towers, you will know you have arrived.

I'd like to step off @ 9am to be done around 11. I'll cook brats and burgers  for lunch. We can eat in the feasthall.  Part of the hike will be 1.5 miles down the county rd and back. It's flat and should make time for those who need the 3 miles for provisional status with the remaining 3 miles being through internal roads on the property.

After lunch we can mosey down to the pistol range and ping some steel.

I'll answer any other questions if they are posted.

As of the moment temps are projected to be sunny, high of 77 low of 61.

It happens.  We will be hiking again for sure.  We are using my location this time, because im familiar with it and have the ability to host.  In the future we will try to rotate around central alabama some.   Maybe try to keep everything 1 hour in every direction from Montgomery.

Down to a 20 percent chance of rain.   81 for the high, 60 for the low.    Its going to be a nice day for a hike.

There are 4 of us committed to the hike.   3 of us Made the 1st Florida Panhandle Battle buddy hike.

Id love to see some more people. The purpose of the battle buddy program is 2 fold.  To get ourselves in better shape as well as to network amongst each other.  Virginia was a beautiful thing, on a grass roots level that I doubt has been seen since the revolution.  I  cant see the 2nd amendment surviving in America with todays political climate without this level of teamwork and networking.

Come out and Hike. Or come out and Network.  For sure come out and eat some Burgers.  
Just come out.

Just as a reminder,  you can do the 3 mile or 6 mile hike.   3 miles will get you a provisional rating and earn entry  as an official battle buddy.   6miles will get you the first of the 3 hikes you need (and hopefully continue getting) to get your third class rating!!!
