It's time for the BeckerWest 2016 Spring Gathering! April 15th, 16th, & 17th.



This will be the 10th 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. Especially at night time around the camp. Virgin eyes and ears may be...(will be) offended.

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.
-a bottle of 12yr old scotch to leave out so Abrasion and Jonny1280 can drink it while you sleep....
-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!

Looking forward to seeing everyone. See you there!

Im in +2. I turn 50 on the 13th..Nice present to myself.
 
Well I guess I will not be attending. There is a suprise Bday Party on that weekend.
 
I am really bummed that I will not be there this spring........ I have a TDI reunion class at the end of the month and that group is a big part of me and when I move west it will be unlikely that I can do many repeats....... Soooooo,....... Fall for sure..... E
 
Sad face. I was looking forward to seeing you again uncle E! I'm sure that the fall gathering will be here before we know it though. :)
 
I see no reason why that would be DQ'd, would probably be a handicap rather than a help. :p
 
I guess you can put me down as going, I really can't see a reason for me not to be able to make it out. School scheduling is my only concern, but I don't think it would stop me.
 
May have to head your way after all as it seems there is a hill at Ethans and a 33' camper will not fit
I hear they Drink Bud select 55 real reason
Will said size fit at the west Thanks in advance
You Guys do not Drink That Sh_t do ya?

There should be room for it! :thumbup:
Yeah, those East side boys drink Bud Select 55 like it's going out of style. Rumor has it that Tradewater keeps a pony keg in his tent.
We drink Rainier Beer around here. And some other stuff too. :D
 
Looks like I'm heading South to the beach that weekend instead of North to the Gathering. You guys enjoy, and I'll see about securing a spot for Fall.

Shouldn't you be Hawaiiing? ;)

I'm in Hawaii but all I can think about is how I'd rather be out in the woods with you bunch of degenerates. Well that and I have a Fiddleback Hunter in the mail that I won't see till the 29th.
