Mandatory evacuation for us. We taken some stuff and stored it elsewhere. 95 percent is still at the housse including our business - mills, lathes, etc.  We're taking the trailer to Ben Lomond Gun Range. Got most of the Appleseed stuff so w can do pellet line at Constitu tional Champions camp next week, the Leadville shoot then the expo in Iowa. P lease pray for the winds to quiet down and the rain to fall.

    "Plus 1" and great credit to you two for having the calm foresight to grab what's important!

    Once we "appleseed" things, gov will not force people out "for their own protection", but mobilize them to fight the fire, even if on a voluntary basis.

    Meantime, fingers crossed and prayers sent...

Your family and all the others affected are in our prayers.  May your home and business be spared.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

It's too bad the Appleseed fire-hose deal is just a metaphor!

Prayers for your personal safety as well as for your livelihood.

You both are in our prayers. Please stay safe. You have been so tireless in your enthusiasm and support ... we all owe you so much.

Part of our message is that we define our priorities and loyalties... And first is family and friends.

Please ask for help if you need it. You have created a Rocky Mtn contingent that you can and should call upon.

Living in the mountains of southen California, I know all too well about brush/forest fires.
I'm praying for you as well.   @)
Speaking of bugging out...........
Thanks for the link up with the preparedness folks, Daron & Brian.  :bow:

Oladcock, we are camping at the range with Gary. Small world.

Cal762, awesome news. A job well done. The prepper community has been good to Appleseed.

Our house is okay. Looks like the closest the fire got was about 3 miles. We are still in mandatory evac. Hoping that gets lifted.

This time out is really hurting us businesswise. We had some major deadlines before we leave for the Iowa expo. Will try to get a shoot boss to take Leadville for us next weekend. That will give us back 3 days out of the 6 or so we are losing and we will work nearly around the clock.

Thank you so much all for your prayers. Please continue. Almost 500 houses lost in this little tight-knit community. It is devastated.
