Official BeckerWest 2014 Spring Gathering. April 25th-27th

[abrasion]

Good times were had by all that is for sure. Sorry don't have any pics, I try not to take them so they don't incriminate me later in a court of law.
BTW let me fix that for you. awe got built his fire bigger and faster but didn't win because he already won a knife earlier then "Fal'er took 1st in fire making, I got 2nd, and RRR took 3rd."

You really should get a special award for doing the competition with a huge axe.

And fatwood logs! Lol...

"locally available materials" Awesom-O set the new standard for the fire competition by using fat wood for not only the tinder but also the fuel. That same method was shown once again Sunday morning to get a cold wet fireplace all warm again!

You Sir are an innovator of greatness!
And thanks to you, I know have enough fatwood to compete in the next firemaking challenge!
Thanks again!

I forgot my fatwood log up there in the mud.

That's probably the one me and Hurley split and took home.
I'm sure I'll still have most of it by the next gathering.:thumbup:

 

[FAL'ER]

No sweat, keep it. That stuff is hard not to see, once you know what you're lookin for.

 

[Tdhurl1103]

What I brought home thanks to Bill, Ethan and JD.

Bummed I missed this, but it was right before finals week. On the bright side, I am graduating tomorrow! Hopefully I can make the next one!

 

[Awesom-o-4000]

I was hoping to see some of Ethan's pic he took with that fancy I-pad

[Diez Knives]
