piffle.
Miss Angie knows I love her, with or without treats -- but I need good bribes to keep her long-haired galoot of a hubby out of too much trouble... ;)
 
Bummer - major work event that weekend. :-( Was hoping to make it for the first time. Maybe next year! Hope everyone has fun and can't wait to see pictures!
 
Look forward to meeting you all in person.

Thanks for the replies.

1. Who is invited? I never really posted much on this Sub-Forum though I have been a long time BF member and long time BK&T fan. I just recently submitted a request to be Beckerhead but have not been anointed as of this post.

2. What is the lodging arrangements? Tents on-site, campers on-site or nearby motels?

3. Lastly, could someone provide me with a snap shot of the typical day/night at the event? Breakfast, field craft, fellowship and playing with knives, lunch, repeat, dinner, campfire? Remember - this is totally new to me and would like to get my head around what to expect if we can come.


Thank you so much for your time in reading this request and thank you in advance for your responses.

You don't have to be a Beckerhead.
Lodging is tents or hammocks that you bring.
A typical day looks like this...

Seriously, it's laid back and not too programmatic. Some events are hosted. Seminar-like stuff where people share some knowledge.
Doc (averageiowaguy) did a pretty good video series on a couple of Gatherings.

Man I would love to be able to get out there!! I hope you all post lots of pics!!
 
Gonna try like Hell to make it!

Not sure I can afford it this time but I will do what I can between now and then to get some cash for the trip.
 
a camper would never make it up the hill.
depending on size, there might be room to park one at the bottom of the road going up, but if it's rainy/muddy, life could get ugly.

In that case I'll just bring a 4x4 pick-up with a cap on the bed - hopefully that can make it to where I am to go. My son and I are excited about going; really look forward to meeting you all.
 
Besides the communal items to be brought, we can contribute some unique to the Philly/NJ area Pork Roll (Taylor Ham) which very well may be world famous and certainly a breakfast staple for us South Jersey folk.
