Everyone enjoy....
We had some shi... weather but spirits were good and the few attendees that met to the gathering had a great time, and they were awesome people to have visiting..IMG_20141018_163302.jpgIMG_20141018_163307.jpgIMG_20141018_163917.jpgIMG_20141018_163837.jpgIMG_20141018_164011.jpg

Not easy to burn the string off in the one stick fire when the fire burn sideways, LOL.....
 
It was a great time, and the poor weather didn't put out the mood.

I'll add my pics as soon as possible...

Thanks for a great event.
 
Thank you Rasmus for comming.. Great meeting you, and see you next year..
 
how does this contest go? you have to burn the string with the shavings from 1 stick?

Something like that. Basically first one to make a one sick fire (using a piece of wood, a knife and a firesteel), and burn the string. More difficult than it sounds... For some. ;) :D

Thanks for a great time Bobber and Lennox! We had a blast! (Especially after we came back from the E.R.) :)
I'll try and get my pics posted tomorrow.

And a huge thanks to Ethan Becker for the great prizes!!!
 
Ok, here are my pics from the meet.

This is where we slept.

inside. Ground floor.


Where some of us slept. (that's my bag)


Upstairs. Kind of big lounge area. Can't see it in the pics, but some of the long tables were covered in knives. :)



We spent a lot of time (out of the bad weather) in that little hut in the background.


inside there were benches around the walls, and a small fireplace in the middle. One of the cosiest places I've been! :)
Left to right: Bobber, Hayman, Steffen (my oldest son who tagged along) and Rasmus80.

Mmmmm..... Food...
Competition area:

I had to take a brake from the festivitives right about here, because....


I had to take Steffen to the E.R.


Three stitches later, and we were good to go.

Happy kid. :)


Some Beckers...

And lastly, Bobber's sharpening service... Only one beer for each knife! ;) :D


That's all the pics I had.
Thanks for a great time!!!!
 
Damn, I didn't realize the Scandinavian Gatherings had a blood initiation ritual, most impressive!

3 Stitch Steffen should have won a prize for his blood offering.

He did... He won a BK-4 for "deepest cut". :D


Which reminds me, I've got to get some pics of the prizes...
 
Congratulations to Steffen. Kind of gives new meaning to a "one stick" fire, but if that's what it takes to win a BK-4, then the "one stick" was worth it.
 
Three little bitty stitches. Do you need me to send you some gorilla tape and super glue??? I would be glad to to save a trip to the ER... Lol Seems that everyone had a good time and no one got hurt real bad. That's a win in my book. Great job!

Not suprizing this is coming from a guy that lets his little girl stick her head inside a live alligator's mouth.:eek::D lol You win the best avitar contest sir. Agree glue/tape/staples woulda been fine and when leaves a little scar you have a story to tell. Do one of you own the lodge/cabin/house?you stayed at or did you just rent it for the weekend? Looks like a pretty big place.
 
Looks like a great time even with the blood :) Always amazes me how a simple thing like a knife can bring people together! That camp is awesome too!!!
 
those are some excellent pictures - what language do I need to learn so I can catch one of these "pond crossing" gatherings in the future?
 
Looks awesome....way to sacrifice your body, Steffen! Someone has an expensive Busse addiction....
