Work is horrifying today. It’s always like this with a big trip. The pressure builds and builds until you reach the tipping point, and then you just don’t give a rip anymore. You reach nirvana, the satori of perfect bliss. I’m not there yet, but I am feeling around the edges of it. At least I have finalized my packing list:
Browning Auto-5 in floating zipper case, magnum friction rings installed, sling system attached, extra magazine cap, choke tubes, plug removed
Benelli Nova in floating velcro case, sling attached, choke tubes, choke tube wrench, plug removed
Break-Up Duffel: Game toter straps (2), fleece face mask, black waffle shirt, 2 long sleeve camo shirts, 2 long sleeve knit camo shirts, 3 pr. wool socks, zip leg camo pants, brush overalls, fleece gloves, orange boggin, orange hat, cotton waffle insulateds, expedition weight insulateds, 1 pair ankle garters, Past recoil pad, mesh orange vest, parka shell, chamois shirt, black long sleeve cotton shirt, 10 pr. tightey whiteys, 1 pr. Wranglers, 2 pr. sleeping shorts, 6 pr. cotton socks, Guy Harvey t-shirt, trash bags
Leather bag: spare contacts, various ear plugs, phone charger, big Swiss Army knife, Burt’s Bees Lifeguard’s Choice, camera, spare batteries, battery charger, blood pressure medicine, Prilosec, Pepcid, vitamins, supplements, cough drops, Benadryl, Tums, bore snake, WD-40, towel, other toiletries
Camouflage cooler: Green tea
And that’s it. Now that I think about it, it looks like the combined take from two robberies: a sporting goods store heist and a pharmacy job!

How the hell is WD-40 a toiletry? Man, I think you’re not using it right.
And what’s a bore snake? Perhaps I don’t want to know. Does it have anything to do with the WD-40?

Oh, and may I also point out that I find it odd that an American could afford so many items that come from the pharmacy. Did you order them online, eh?
One would almost have to go to some foreign country, nothing overseas mind you, in order to find such a treasure trove of affordable medications.

Greg, I don’t know about WD-40 as a toiletry, but Ballistol can be used to clean guns and to treat scrapes and bruises. Seriously.
