If any of you guys are active in Eastern WA, please @ me for upcoming events. I've tried to muster my area of North Idaho, ~CDA, but I haven't gotten much traction.

Check out this thread from the archive. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Hometown/-ARCHIVED-THREAD-night-shooting-spots-nvg-hikes-battle-buddies-/15-641335/?page=1 IIRC there were a few guys in central-to-eastern WA who are interested. Get out and hike, and post pics. A few of us started hiking and posting pictures and that sparked interest. Look at some of my first posts on the topic, I was walking around a local park by myself getting the evil eye from mask nazis. A few months later we had a dozen guys. |

Saturday 23 Jan, 2021, we will hold our next Western WA APC hike.
This will take place in the foothills on the east side of King County. Meeting time will be early: 15 minutes before Sunrise. Event will consist of a hike- 3 to 6 miles depending on capabilities and APC qual requirements. After the hike we will do land navigation practical application exercises and knot tying to prep for May. This would be close to an all day event. PM me for more details if you interested. You can also send me an email at: [email protected] |

My initial entry into APC threads consisted of selfies where I was hiking alone. Refer to my sigline. |

I'll definitely consider it after my knee surgery. Rucking through ankle deep snow on mountains is a bad idea, FYI. |

In the future, have available items on hand needed to keep warm if you had to stop and (change socks for 10 minutes, work a radio for an hour or spend the night) That's where you manage warmth with your heat management plan. Good job. |

It was a great hike and learning experience afterwards. Definitely worth the 4 hour drive to get there. Now to get some people going in the SW WA/NW OR area so I don't have to go that far EVERY time!

Thank you to TNC for helping me find the location for APC. I'll start planning a hike for my provisional, and for fun maybe doing a POTA at the end depending on where I go. Look for more information to follow:
