• A garden shovel, as well as garden rake, will be necessary to make the land even for the tent and stove etc.
• Don’t place the door toward the wind when you set up the tent.
• Sequence of setting out the tent first put on the floor pad – tarp. Then unroll the tent over the floor. Then set the tent with the angle fittings first. Footbridge poles first and then preset the roof cross poles.
• Pull ropes tied in with tight. Don’t want places where water can gather.
• He will hook the nut of the 10 PM into the loop of the tent.
• Set up stove:
• Set up protection for the stove. Have a spot near the stove fire the fire would.
• Maybe have plywood or carpet in front of the stove
• Pete under the stove is not normally a problem.
• He likes to put a piece of carpet in the food area in front of the stove so that if a burning object or spark drops it will not bounce. It is now something burning he can respond to it The smell of burning endoscopic better than the burn spots on plywood. Corporate is also easily along this it close to the fire.
• If you use water heater put the water heater next to the stove.
• Stove pipe needs to be sturdy. This can be accomplished by three ropes in different directions to keep it taught against the wind.
• Space is a tent is at a premium. Anything that can be hung off the walls was stacked can give you more foot room. One example is pin boards that can be used to hang pots and’s or a coat rack.
• Using the stove:
• You should have a thermometer that will monitor the temperature of the stove.
• If you cook in your stove at a high temperature, it can warp the stove
• Some thermometers from China have the numbers painted on. The painted numbers often chip off when cooked. Better to have a porcelain non-painted thermometer.
• The cooking range of food is between 250 and 650°. When too low the smoke becomes a blue tinge.

• Once, members of a camping party were having headaches and being grouchy. They realize that they were being closed by carbon monoxide inside the tent
• Personal needs:
• Using a shower that uses a heating pad is difficult to use because each gallon of water is 8 pounds. And it is difficult to lift that bought bad about the shower.
• An alternative is to have a container where you can pour warm water in. Pump it – prime. And then use a nozzle that when pressed will turn on. That way you just use the water that you need.
• People put shower curtains inside
• People will use a bin for the food area of the shower. The excess water could be used to rents out the toilet or to water the garden. Because water will be at a premium.
• There are anti-bacteria tales that can be used

I attended a nice fireside. It was presented by Todd b and Sharon B Hanson: Quorum of the 70. Here are my notes. Any misinformation is the fault of my typing and note taking.

• Will touch upon three topics: A pattern, a path, a promise.
• Patterns lords actions throughout the generations. Several examples of a Zion camp.
• 1. One heart one mind
• 2. Dwell together in Washington
• 3 .No poor among them. If we can create both spiritually and physically we are not pleasing God. If we fail to help those who suffer or mourn. We fail. Import our substance.
• “Having charity is not just a good idea; it is the core of the gospel of Jesus Christ” President Urdorf
• Without compassion, we are a mere shadow of what would be.
• When you do it unto one of the least of these you do unto me
• When we are doing the right thing we can see miracles.
• Be available and dependable when the Lord needs you.
• Lord looks outside external appearances he looks into the heart.
• The path we would follow:
• The spirit of the Lords is upon me, Christ
• As Christ disciples, we must follow his path.
• I lift thee and you lift me and we will ascend together.

Good: instrument

Bad:   insterment

I may be getting desperate on this one. We’ll see if it works. It’s the u I always forget. So think of the U as a 1. Upside down drum. 2. The tunnel of a horn. For the string section, there is inSTRument.

A few notes from a writing panel I attended.

•  Many stories get accepted after eight rejections. Don’t self-reject yourself.
• Rejection of your piece means that your story does not meet their specific needs.
• Some people get burned out at work and do something creative after.

As we think of great quotes and personal stories to disperse in our lessons, why not include real stories from the news? Here are a few links pointing to people who helped strangers. They save lives. There are multiple examples in the news of good deeds by strangers. As you prepare a class, maybe Google for some of those stories as real life tales to include as you teach a principle.

Good: Suffocate

Bad:    Sufficate

I keep wanting to spell an I instead of an O. this visual image may help me remember the use an O. When someone gasps for air while suffocate I open my mouth to get air. The o is an open mouth trying to breath.
