hard to find technical water around here. even trainers for the most part have a tough time finding technical water. I have a few favourite ponds to do this stuff but I have to drive. always pay attn during hunting season for these spots...…...don't think it would be too hard to find water to do water force and water force to pile. You wont be getting into water til atleast May long weekend if your lucky

Did you eat those pigeons when Charlie was done with them? If you didn't, I cannot tell you where a swim by pond is.

The ideal pond is rectangular and about 10-15 yards wide and 30-40 yards long. It should be free of obstructions. It should have a clean shoreline of low cover and you should be able to walk around the edges.
