Hope this is ok with the 10 moderators:) here!

We pulled it off and went from the SHOT Show in Las Vegas straight to the class. Woke up in the desert and headed right to the high elevation mountains of Wrightwood for some winter survival.

The students kicked ass…the weather was better than we expected.

Reza and I were joined by Ali and Kyle from the Alabama class of 2011. Ben from the first West Coast class came up to hang and we all had a good time.
