I agree with Trailgal. Some say it is not the destination but the journey. Others say it is not the journey but the destination. In this case it was the survival skills you did not know you needed till you needed too.
As we all know DCHS is the best destination for any journey into the unknown. LBNguyen congrats on being an A-1 survivor. May this be a lesson for others and thanks for sharing. Better luck and better planing next time.
