Project 365 - Day 274

Last week I got on the road to Arkansas to go to Sigma 3 school and attend David Scott Donelan's Tactical Tracker course. The class ended up being taught by Corn Nash and he is one the best instructor I have ever had. Lots of fun, I learned a lot and got to play with a variety of gear.

I'll be posting photos about my trip for the next few days.
