when I get overwhelmed with it, I too do a stand alone and it gets me itchin again. Thats why on the weekends I try to always do a weekend warriors pic just to stay grounded in the fun of what I am trying to achieve!

Yeah, I know that feeling about the Desert. When I was at 29 Palms, it was easy to find places to shoot....as long as I was shooting desert. Here at Camp Pendleton, there are loads of swampy areas, but most of them are off limits as wildlife preserves, Areas near ranges, etc., or the water level changes so fast, as soon as I decide to shoot in an area it's either underwater or bone dry. And a lot of the places to shoot around here that look good are MILES away from my house. A small team Dio wouldn't be much problem, but going all out and doing a full scale war would be hell.
The other Issue with outside shoots is TIME! You get everything set up, take a shot, move everything for the next shot, take a pic, by the time you do 4-5 shots, the sun is going down or at least you can tell it's later in the day! then what do you do? Leave your stuff set up and Come back the next day? If I was to make a full scale battle, I'd Have to take 6-7 days to get the whole thing done, and I'm NOT leaving my toys out in the wild!
