"The more work, sacrifice, and dedication you offer up in the name of bow hunting, the more success you will have." Cameron Hanes The wilderness gives an exhilarating sense of freedom and adventure known nowhere else. A land where it's man against the elements.     A good relationship with your gear through training will enhance the experience in the backcountry. This training op was to help identify any deficiencies with my ruck. I used the aquamira drops to filter water for the first time and it worked great, and super light. Also I didn't bring a tent because I knew it wasnt going to rain. Instead I brought a woobie for the ground, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag. I had a poncho in case it did rain.  Beautiful Soa with 2 Cubs. Only 1 cub is showing.  A few buddies from my fire department in the military camped in a basin along some high country lakes. We rucked 8 miles round trip and gained 2000ft in elevation. 

BJJ Journal: Butterfly Guard

Opponent steps up while keeping top of foot behind knee and other foot hooks behind on hamstring. One hand on ankle and the other on lapel as leash. Slide into de la Riva. Then slide into X- guard. #1. Opponent leans back, so you extend both legs while pulling ankle, and push at lapel, and keep the lapel and the cuff. Elbow on mat, knee slice down leg and loop leg into back of shoulder. Step over with other leg and secure arm bar. Keep arm to chest and slide up to opponent thumb. #2 opponent leans forward, keep inside hook on hamstring tight, drop other leg to mat, punch hand behind butt and hip opponent over and take side control. Opponent has de la Riva, hand on hip and straighten leg then point knee out to break de la riva guard. Leave hip and grab lapel. Pin knee to mat and knee slice to pass.
