2015 NorthEast Beckerhead Gathering. Oct 9-11.

i totally suck at throwing 8 random axes

and using random selection of sling shots

jeebus. warn me next time...

if i had KNOW someone was sling arrows, i'd have shown you :D

lol

good times

brown sugar maple pork loin

wow

on command, dragon ball z charismatic mega fauna chili blasts - thanks andrea!

damn, thanks GraniteState for the pork

fun times

hey, Becker dog selected me as warmest leg to fall asleep on

nice
 
Almost forgot.
Geektechnica showed some of his leather work.
I did not get any pictures but let me say that it is outstanding.
He gave me a dangler attachment for a knife I have on order and the craftsmanship is unbelievable.
If anyone has pics of that 16 or 9 sheath post em up that sheath was rugged.
 
I gotta say, MadIndian's crew knows how to pack. They humped all their gear outta there in one go looking like through-hikers all the way up the hill. And he has stellar taste in knives. ;)

HAHA!! NIce meeting you man and here's to hoping ;-)
 
Great pics so far! I have to do some catching up around the house and the write up should be done tonight.

I will say it always sucks leaving these gatherings. It makes me anxious for the next one.

At least one of my kids was in it LOL.

Great meeting you, thanks for showing your hammock setup. I was thinking since we are close we could get together for a November "hang" maybe if time permits in Harriman or something and do something Becker knife related


That'd be great! Always looking for people nearby to "hang" with :) I'll be travelling a bit for work until the end of the year, but I'm sure I can find some time :)
 
Ok here is my take on the weekend. Sorry it has taken so long to post these pictures.

Amanda and I love going to these gatherings. It is always great to spend time away with people we care about.

On with the pictures!

Fire, the centerpiece of great food and great conversation.

GSOM also showed me some of his auto folders. I didn't get any pictures because I was too busy playing, err... learning about them. Thanks for taking the time to start me tumbling down another rabbit hole Mike!

I was also surprised by cake and ice cream for my birthday, and it was all caught on video.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped make this a memorable year. Also, a huge thanks to Ethan and Kabar for the prizes and this forum. Without you these events would have never happened.

Another special thanks to all the new and old friends I have gained through this forum.

Be safe and have fun.

Jeremy

Wow...I gotta talk the wife into humping it up that way. Looks like a great time and great group of folks. Thanks for sharing!
 
These pics are making me insanely jealous. That looks like the best time ever, with lot's of wisdom shared, as well as laughs. Thanks for taking me along through the pics!
 
Its sure "stung" him enough times to earn the name:D

Thanks to everyone for an awesome Saturday,

to Trailbum for hosting, to Amanda for that heartwarming chili, GSOM for cooking that heavenly pork loin, to Becker the dog for lots of unwarranted barks:rolleyes:, and to all others for making it a great time. Also a big thanks to Kabar and Ethan for the BK2, Its been on my hip for a couple hikes already. Im looking forward to seeing you all again and to getting your input on a few mods I'm working on, they'll be posted soon.

Thanks again,
