Sept MM The Great Migration: How did it go?

Amazing scenery.

Rejuvenating breeze.

Lovely wildlife.

We had none of that. Not this time.

What we had, was a room of disorganized mess, the unmistakable smell of mold and what can only be described as excrement. We were moving all of our equipment to a brand new logs room, so that meant clearing the old one out. Oh boy. 

You're lucky it's not on smelly-vision

It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. And what a great job we did, clearing the old logs room with unparalleled efficiency while being motivated by the clean air that was available on the outside. But now we face the other problem; moving them to their new home.

The old logs room was on the 15th floor of a building with only 2 working elevators. Residents were slightly annoyed as we brimmed the minuscule elevator but nevertheless our equipment made their way, eventually, to their new, spacious, clean, organized home.

 And you thought it was over. Nope, the great migration has only just begun. To ensure our logistics department operates smoothly, logs officer Ricky has devised a plan to organize the equipment. 

Lost mess tins over the years.

So off we went, dividing into groups, each working on specific types of equipment.

From kitchen utensils to tent gear, we went through every nook and cranny, every corner of every box to compile a brand new equipment list.

 

Wow they fit perfectly!

Then fellow member Carrot found out the reason we need new life jackets. 

Furthermore, we found gems ranging from tiny swiss-army knives to massive anniversary banners; the latter gave us ideas on our Alumni Dinner, which you will see this November. All in all, it was a satisfying day for our hardworking volunteers, helping to keep our projects running by ensuring our equipment are in tip-top condition, and having a laugh throughout the process. So many thanks for those who helped out!

Where did that come from?
