Rise and shine brought an end to the rain, but last night at 2:45am to be exact we had another skunk come in and visit! We are all still in our sleeping bags just fighting the freezing wet cold. All my gear is wet including my shoes, but I still believe tomorrow will be a day of climbing. Girl vs. Wild, Jacquelyn Farris

There is not much to say except we are all wet climbing rats. We spent the entire day in the teepee with dreams of sunny dry skies.We watched Into The Wild and answered calls from our families with warnings of road closures and tornado watches while we sit wet in the teepee. We have started bedding down for another soaked night, but Mr. Shunk I warn you to stay out! Until tomorrow morning I am Girl vs. Wild Jacquelyn Farris a wet climber!
I am blogging from inside a soaked teepee and soaked in is an understatement. Last night it started pouring and we were flooded out of our tent and came to sleep in the teepee. If you think thats crazy at 6am one of the guys wakes up and says “guys, guys there is a skunk eating the tortillas in here” I joke not there was a huge skunk eating our food next to my face. So recap we are flooded out of the tent, now the teepee is flooded, and a skunk came in and ate our tortillas. This is the best adventure. Until I dry out I am Girl vs. Wild Jacquelyn Farris
Today was a full day of bouldering the guys ran big problems that would boggle most minds V4’s were run throughout the ranch. We were definately the group to beat. This is a serious group of climbers. The rain should be rolling in soon so we are hunkering down in our teepee. Until tomorrow I am Girl vs. Wild, Jacquelyn Farris
There’s ice, trees down, it’s hell outside. The streets are dangerous and should be treated as so. We need to take extra precautions to stay safe. A simple winter survival kit for your family is very important. Here is how you make a simple kit that you can store in your car and also in your house for just in case the situation should arise that you will need it. Here is how I have made mine. I keep one in my car and one in my coat closet. Get a spare backpack that is big enough to hold a few items. Be sure to have enough supplies to last you and your family three days. Three days is enough time for you and your loved ones to figure out how to move to your plan B. Now remember if you have pets they are apart of your family as well so count them in your family head count. Everyone’s needs are different so this list might be different for you, but this is a great start for you to jump from.
Here’s the list.
1. band-aids
2. gauze
3. antibacterial ointment
4. rubbing alcohol
5. ace bandage
6. small sewing kit
7. waterproof matches
8. a few sheets of newspaper and drier lint and fire starter
9. dry socks
10. flashlight with several sets of spare batteries
11. all your contact information you will need in an emergency
12. pet food
13. human food: granola bars work well
14. jumper cables
15. family size blanket
