Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Cool alarm clock! I've got one for you from a book I read years ago, "Hanta Yo." Q: It's the early 1800, you're a young Sioux teenage boy and tomorrow you're going on your first buffalo hunt with the men. By tradition, you'll sleep in a lodge by yourself and nobody is going to wake you when you have to be awake and ready at the butt-crack of dawn. I know most are thinking, "I wouldn't be able to sleep." But you did sleep and was awakened earlier than you normally woke. How did you do it?

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Old army trick. Drink a bottle of water before sacking out. You'll be up in 4-5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better to wake up at 4 to pee than to pee at 4 then wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a War of 1861 reenactment near Mariposa one year we fired the morning gun at 0600. After we secured the piece and were heading back to our camp one voice drifted from a tent, "Can I get a 10 minute snooze?" 10 minutes after the first, which was only an 8 oz. charge, we fired a 16 oz. charge.
