BeckerWest Spring 2018 Gathering! April 20th, 21st, and 22nd.


This will be the 14th get together here in the great Pacific NorthWest just outside of Eugene, OR.
Come one, come all! You need not be an official Beckerhead to attend.


What can you expect when you show up to BeckerWest?

There will be food, fire, strong drink, contests, and general merriment! Knives, guns, beards...you get the idea.
There hasn't been an age limit in the past. Just use your best judgment on bringing kids along.
Most of the attendees will not use a filter.

Friday- Guests arrive, folks hanging out, setting up camp, a lot of B.S.ing, a fun night around the camp.
Saturday- Big breakfasts, contests, lot's of food, usually not as rowdy as Friday night.
Sunday- Breakfast, camp clean up, trash is picked up, and everyone is usually out by Noon.


"What should I bring?"

-Bacon
-Camp stove
-Food, drink, camp chairs for sure.
-Tent, hammock, or some form of shelter.
-Trade items if you want
-Bring some TP, there are no restrooms.
-Folding tables and pop-up canopies are always nice to have around.
-Knives, guns, and gear. Ear and eye protection.
-Bring whatever you need to spend two nights in the woods.
-More bacon



Contests will include,(but are not limited to):

-Chopping
-Tomahawk throwing
-Shooting and/or Slingshot competition
-Fire making

Ideas for new challenges are welcomed, as are fresh ideas for the standard contests.



Rules: Petty simple...

1. -Absolutely NO guns and booze! If you're drinking, you're not packing.
2. -NO dogs!
3. -Take your trash home with you!

There are a lot of folks at these gatherings with a lot of great knowledge to share.
If you haven't attended a BeckerWest gathering, come on out! It's a lot of fun!
If you can't get the time off work, well... you might as well quit your job because you won't want to miss this!
Looking forward to seeing everyone. See you there!

Finally! I'll be there! Not sure if I'll be there late Thursday night or hecka early Friday morning, I do have to make a pit stop at tandy leather on my way up but it all depends on the time.
 
I'll be there, Not sure if thur or Fri.
Also, there will be an active logging operation going on that week, I don't know if it affects us much, if at all.
possibly there will be area's which are off limits to us or potentially vehicles entering the property may have to take a different route to the campsite.
I'm not sure, I'll let you know.
 
I am most definitely in! I will likely bring the man child again as well as my brother. So put me down for at least +2 (Subject to change).
 
Alright folks, I have some news regarding BeckerWest which will devastate some of you and won't affect the rest.
I got word from the property manager that there is NO SHOOTING on the property as of March 1st, 2018.
Bring your guns for show and tell, You can always leave the property and head up Fisk Rd. onto BLM land and blast away.
 
I would SO be there....if y'all hadn't scheduled it the same weekend as the Northeast Gathering...
We have solved the shooting issue by using air rifles. Not firearms, but I have a couple of .22's that are (as we say here in the Northeast) a wicked pissah to shoot - especially at night, with the tactical light setup. And you almost have to drink, so there are targets...
 
I got the fire and shooting contest figured. i'm open to any ideas for chopping or anything else... beard wrestling?
also +1 maybe 2
