Amanda and I made it home late last night. We pretty much fell out of the Jeep and went to bed still in a food coma from the last couple of days. We will have pictures up soon.
It was great seeing everyone again. Great food, great knives, great stories, great company... what a weekend.

Thank you everyone for coming to the gathering.
I would like to thank Ethan Becker for my new Bk2, the Trades for my tinder bag, Dresnor and Copperhead88 for THE CHOPPER and the food (well maybe not the chili after my father destroyed the bathroom last night).
Thanks to GSOM for the paracord lanyard, Daizee for showing us his custom knives,
and Bladite for the Grass Jelly Drink(it had a very interesting aftertaste) and bringing that huge bag of knives.

Some Pix:
The Daizee Dome: 15 years and still...uh, pitching?
Got firewood?
The one Becker I brought with me - my fav:
There were contests!
Here's GSOM rockin' the pink tomahawk. Aw yeah:
Bladite showed up on Saturday with a bag of huge knives including (holy cr@p!):
What a monster that thing is! It was fantastic to finally handle Todd's blades in person. Great stuff! I didn't have the guts to ask Bladite to chop with the M-18... Dresnor also had a Yuma, which has as sexy a blade in person as it does in pictures. Good call on the 5/32" switch, Todd.
I'm not the only one who liked it....:
Some Show & Tell:
Trailbum was the skillet master. Here we have breakfast on a chilly morning. Eggs, kielbasa (sp?), cheddar, grilling cheese on a grilled muffin:
BK-16 action. I spent an hour or two carving with this guy the night before, and lemme tell ya: it's an awesome blade. More on that later:
Trailbum mastering the bench stone. He made that thing "wicket shahp":
Other things of note, unphotographed by me:
Amazing rabbit & turkey chili by Copperhead! Damn. I had two bowls.
Dres has mad fire skillz, and coached me through holding a flaming ball of tinder. Yipe!
Bladite appears to be working on a dissertation titled "The Grand Unified Theory of Firewood Management". Expect to see it referenced in peer-reviewed journals this spring.

My version of the weekend.
Thank you to my Wife and kids for helping get this thing together, from shopping to getting the clearing ready and cleanup.
I look forward to this every year and without them it wouldnt happen.
Thank you Ethan for the over the top amount of knives and swag you sent for prizes. Once again you were extremely generous.
I hope to see you next year in Tenn.
Thank you Trades for the great canvas bags.
I hope to meet you both one day.
Thank you Jeremy and Amanda for the food and all the help.
Amanda made a huge pot of rabbit chili that was amazing.
Gifting my son that great chopper.
Thanks for the fire tutorial and bringing all the stuff needed for this. Without Becker helping on breakfast cleanup I dont know what I would have done.
Thanks to Granite for the new Mora (I love my moras) headlamp and for bringing the refreshing beverages, popcorn and pie maker. Thank you for your paracord classes and lanyards and survival bracelets/ key chains.
Thank you to Daizee for bringing your custom knives for us to drool on and play with, 2 huge jugs of Valhalla and assorted other beverages for everyone, the grilling cheese ( man that stuff was good) gifting me that awesome beerdashi, and again a very informative sharpening class for those of us that are sharpening challenged.
I was happy Bladite could make it this year and he literally brought a car load of stuff to handle. My favorite was a Bk4 and a M18.
I really like the logging tools and the paragatang.
The kids gave the grass jelly drink a try and had mixed results.
Amanda liked it but she drinks Moxie?
Thank you to Alwaysoutdoors and Bjames for the cheese, crackers, and kringl and the help with the food and fire prep.
Hope to see you both next year.

Here is my take on the weekend. Every year this gathering grows more and more. It is hard to capture everything with the camera since there are so many side things going on. I am not much of a social butterfly, but in a setting like this it is very easy to have a great time.
Special thanks to Ethan and Kabar. They sent a huge prize box and we made sure everyone got some nice steel. One fine young man came to the gathering with zero Beckers (I know right?) and left with two as well as a custom sheath for them. I hope he is a fan for life.
Here is the prize table with donations from Ethan, the Trades, and daizee.
A huge thanks to Trailbum and his family for opening up their home and hearts to all of us for this event. We are getting to know them well and Amanda and I think of them as extended family. They are very eager to help anyone out and share embarrassing stories about their kids. It is great to see the family grow up through the years.
A nod to daizee for giving me an honest critique of my work and tips on how to improve. He showed me some of the flaws on his work and taught me that no one is perfect. I spent a good amount of time picking his brain and he was not shy about sharing tips about his craft, even though he did loose me with some of the metallurgy stuff. He also donated two kiradashi knives to the prize table.
Thanks to Granite for teaching the paracord class and handing out lanyards. He was also quick with sarcasm and Monty Python quotes. He also was not shy about giving advise about grinding, belt selection and stuff like that. It is also great to see the girls again. In just one year we could see a change in them. I hope they enjoyed themselves and will continue this tradition.
Speaking of youngsters, It was great to see alwaysoutdoors and his buddy Bjames. These young men seem to have a good head on their shoulders and a love of the outdoors. I especially like to see the younger generation being exposed to nature and outdoors skills. I hope we can meet up again gentlemen and I can't wait to see that knife Ben!
A big thanks to the Trades. Even though they were not in attendance, they were there in spirit. The sent enough canvas bags to go around and they were very much appreciated. I hope Amanda and I can hang out with you two some day.
Lastly Bladite for taking time out of his busy schedule to some hang out with us. Also thanks for bringing all those toys for us to play with and for letting me shoot that bow! He provided us with some Becker history and tested us on our Becker blade database knowledge. It was good to have Becker royalty with us.
Now for some pictures. I narrowed them down to 70 or so pictures and I know I didn't capture everything that happened.
Hang on for picture overload!
We left our house and took our time getting down to trailbum's property. Here is Becker taking a nap on the way down. It seemed like he knew he had to charge his batteries for a weekend on running around like an idiot.
Amanda and I had to do some shopping about halfway there for supplies and he had to be held when we got back to my Jeep.
We got to the clearing in the afternoon and started to setup camp and get the fire going. Of course the BSing began as well.
The new hawk target, before revision 2.0.
trailbum had a shadow for most of the event.
More early morning BSing.
The drink of choice.
It is unlawful to have a Beckerhead gathering without bacon.
Becker staged himself in the middle of everything.
We did some show and tell, actually it lasted all weekend.
Some of daizee's work.
The 3 muk Amanda is the proud new owner of.
More of daizee's work. I love the bird and trout on top.
More of daizee's work.
Two proud owners and the happy maker.
Granite's WIP 7. This thing is going to steal your lunch money when it is done.
daizee chopping with a Patrol Machete.
Another reason to love the fall.
Trailbum collecting a tree for the chopping contest.
Trailbum's oldest having his turn during the chopping contest.
alwaysoutdoors getting it done.
BJames rocking the clipped 9.
Trailbum showing that he isn't a stump humper.
Amanda hitting it hard.
Trailbum's youngest getting the hang of it.
daizee getting used to a non Rhode Island legal blade.
While Granite was looking for his 9 we switched logs on him. We threw up a log at least triple to size and kept quiet to see if he would notice. He did...
Not letting the injured elbow slow him down, Mike swung for the fences.
After the chopping contest we had some fun with slingshots. Notice the BK-9 and mora piggyback setup? Blasphemous or brilliant? You decide.
More in the next post....

Bladite showed up Saturday evening and brought a Becker Patrol Pack full of goodies he let us use and abuse. He also brought an awesome bow and taught some of us the basics of shooting it.
Story time with Bladite.
Dumping out the bag of fun.
The M-18 was a big hit.
The Cincinnati Machax with the phosphate finish was awesome too. This is a coating I think a lot of people would be happy with.
Before he had to leave Bladite hung out with us around the fire teaching us how to ruin our microwaves and toasters with food and science!
The next morning was beautiful but cold.
After breakfast we played with fire a bit.
Amanda honing her skills.
Daizee and trailbum warming up with a ferro rod before their first flint and steel fire.
Trailbum's tinder bundle just about ready to burst into flame for his first flint and steel fire.
Some bushcrafting with a modded BK-4
John, the master of ceremonies.
Despite the expressions, we were happy to have walked away with a daizee knife. It is a rough job being all business at a gathering.
daizee provided a sharpening clinic in the afternoon. Ground was gained in our quest for the perfect angle.
Trailbum working to make his 16 the sharpest 16 I have seen yet.
Becker waking up from a nap in the sun next to the pond.
The goodies Amanda and I left with.
Three of daizee's creations.
The Beckers! Note the Bk-9 lanyard made by Granite.
Becker sheaths by trailbum.
The great canvas drawstring bag from the trades. Trade, you should go orange and sell these types of things. Seriously.
There were plenty of stickers to go around. This one landed on my Jeep's rear window.
A short video about the food available at the gathering.

Trailbum and his family are such fun and wonderful hosts....and the weekend was non-stop awesomeness. Thank you to everyone that showed up. I'd also like to thank my own girls for indulging me and going with....not every young lady wants to hang out in the woods for a weekend with an un-showered dad.
Saturday morning mist on the pond:
No messing around with split wood here...just grab a 3 foot log and throw it on:
Camp Beckerhead....the "mothership" can be seen behind Dresnor. Big thanks to trailbum again for hauling a car's worth of gear down to the site....my kids were housed and well fed because of it.
The road in - no way our Jetta would make it down there:
The trail out:
The lineup for hawk throwing. I shot a pile of short videos which I will try and get posted later:
No one paid any attention to poor Becker.
Some of daizee's drool inducing work:
I liked the way this one felt:
Trailbum with some grub....
AlwaysOutdoors killed it in the 'hawk throwing comp. 5 out of 5. Next year we're going to have to paint a bullseye.
Middle trailbum was no slouch either, besting the rest with 4 out of 5:
Blah-dee-té joined us and threw down a HUGE bag-o-choppers:
And the Parangatang was so much fun to try out. Beastly chopper!
Daizee getting ready to to some damage (sorry about the camera angle, Daiz!) with the M-18 brought by Bladite:
Good thing we got to handle it. Now no one wants one. They want two!
Saturday night:
Daizee's pre-spoon branch:
Dres working on some of the finer points of slingshot usage with my little one:
And some random "ahtsy" photos.
Trailbum has a beautiful property, and is crazy and kind enough to invite a bunch of internet friends to come and hang out and become real for a weekend. I feel blessed to have discovered that THIS internet community is populated with actual, real(ly awesome) people. Thank you trailbum & family, Ka-Bar, the Trades, and everyone else. But mostly, a big thank you to Becker for keeping my kids entertained

Oooh, I forgot to take a picture of GSOM's 4. It's SO HOT.
Bladite said it's basically the mythical BK-4 Warrior, re-created. Damn, it looks good...
Dresnor brought his recently finished first blade. GREAT first knife. Way better than mine (the "burger splitter"). he's gung-ho to keep going, and will progress quickly.

And you were also missed, which wasn't so dandy. Maybe Spring....trailbum's gonna see if he can get the Radeke Cabin in the White Mountains sometime late April - early May. Cool place. (incidentally, in the "Radeke Cabin" search results, the BF thread was #7....for me, anyway). Sorry you couldn't make it, but thanks again for the bags.
