Went ahead and submitted an edited version of this story. I'm wanting to save most of my stories for an upcoming book idea if it gains enough interest. At the very least, I'll have something to pass along to my kids about their parent's adventures in the future.

It's been on my list for a while now - my reason for not buying it yet is I'm currently saving up for my move back to the southeast. Once we get settled, I am definitely snagging one.

Thank you, I'll definitely put in the work and start writing some more. This is my first time writing about the experience to be honest, so I'll have to write more before being comfortable enough to submit a story. Thank you!

Do you think it's worth submitting as an article in the journal? I'll post more as time allows.

Here are a few photos from our time in the woods. There's more, but these are the ones I could find at the moment.

A Story of Survival in the Mountains Here you go fine sir. Just a snippet of our life in the woods. I'll try to find some pictures we took while up there, too.

So I may not be the best writer in the world, or even the best storyteller, but I'll do my best. In 2020 my wife and I lost our jobs (like so many people) and our camper we were living out of, so we moved our tent setup deep into the mountains of the Cohutta Wilderness for a total of 6 months...

Miller, not the light stuff. Natty Daddy's are my close second for the price and effectiveness.

I wear a simple, cheap Timex Expedition North Solar on a NATO strap. Sorry, no pictures at this time. Best watch I could afford at the time on $16/hr, and to be frank I like it enough that I don't care to buy anything else.

Glock 19 would be a great choice, but I'm partial towards my Glock 17 Gen 6. Big, yes, but still concealable for me at the 4 o'clock with my Tenicor.

Been a subscriber for a year now. Used to be a pretty avid small game hunter (squirrels being my specialty) when I lived in NW Georgia, but since moving to San Angelo TX I've not had the opportunity to hunt public lands. Looking at moving back east for better public land hunting soon, tired of...
