Babel Tower Bush Bash pictures! Traps, fire, girls, machetes, Oh my!

[Joezilla]

So this campout turned into a fun young bash. I was sadly the oldest person there, god help us. No inuries to report, and a damn good time hanging out with both new and Old friends.

With the pristine rocks in the area near the river, we got to work the knife-less trap.

Sjdm posing with the new trap I showed him.

With two people, this trigger set up easily.

By that time, another forumite joined us.

SJDM, the don of the rock.

With so many people, sjdm and I spent a while building a large reflector to give this long fire some room to heat us all up.

They made due with the items they had at hand and packed it all in

It was these guys first time camping, so they packed a bit interesting…

Title not needed.

Howitz, ready for action on the trail.

Looks like a great time.

I do hope you worked with the "overpackers" a bit.

Thanks for sharing. Makes me look forward to taking the family out in the woods even more.

I hiked in at night around 10pm. By that time, they had already been there and un-packed

We also got to work with ML knives' flint and steel, and attempted some other bush knivery Sunday. I didn't take pics of that though, and all the knife pics I have to save for an article later
