As you may have heard already, Appleseed has a new Rifleman Patch that can be earned only in real winter conditions:

Well, we got your winter conditions right here:

Enfield, NH, Jan. 15-16, 2011 (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=19140.0%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3E)

And here:

Pelham, NH, Jan. 22-23, 2011 (http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=18529.0%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3E)

AND [FANFARE] HERE:

Peterborough, NH, Feb. 19-20, 2011 -- THIS IS A SPECIAL SHOOT. SEE THE MESSAGES ABOUT IT HERE IN THIS THREAD.
(http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=20083.0%3C/td%3E%3Ctd%3E)


These shoots separate the truly heroic Appleseeders from the summer soldiers and sunshine patriots.  Winterseeders who take these opportunities to test their equipment and their skills in actual winter conditions know they deserve the new patch when they get one.

Here is a good thread discussing cold weather techniques and equipment:

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

Thomas Paine, writing in 1776

"The timid and fearful cannot defend liberty or anything else." - G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island and founder of Freedom Force International (www.freedom-force.org)

"You make the decision now to be afraid, and you will never turn back--your whole life, you will always be afraid."
-- From "Unbreakable"

The litany against fear is an incantation used by the Bene Gesserit in Dune to focus their minds and calm themselves in times of peril. The litany is as follows:

    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

"Take away fear, and the battle of Freedom is half won." - William Ralp
