<p>First light and ready to go&#8230;.well my son is and here I am trying to make a post. So, &#8216;semper paratus&#8217; is the family motto and sometimes as I load the gear I wonder how one says &#8216;efficiently always ready/prepared&#8217; in Latin. Because right now always prepared seems to include bring everything in numerous containers and also just random stuff here and there&#8230;.I just have too much stuff. For a 3 day trip you would think we are heading out for a week. Between the two of us, we could outfit an additional fisher or two. Backup you know. Heading out to East Lake. The stars are aligned and I am so darn excited for the first trip out. Luego, amigios!     </p>
