RE: Fire near the homestead!

Upvoted, Commented, Resteemed and Followed. I have always loved maps. You may have already, but get a USGS topo map (or similar) of your area (the paper kind in case you have no power or internet). Learn the prominent features around you. Then you can pick coordinates off as needed. May come in handy some day.

I certainly want to get some good maps like that. Some friends of mine and I have talked about possibly having our wives drop us off 20 miles into the wild or so, and we would make our way out. Couldn't do it this year, but hopefully we could do that in the next year or so.

Now that would make an interesting video!

It certainly would. I have wanted to do it for some time. We have the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states and we can drive to its' edge in about 15-20 minutes. It is certainly breath taking.
