Spring gathering..... A week out! Yay!!!!!!!

My son Joey is young and strong. We work as a team; he does the work and I point, with my non-drinking hand, what he needs to do. When I have a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other command and control break down significantly but productivity actually increases!:rolleyes:
 
Looking forward to it. Busy week so I'll probably pack Thursday night and leave early enough Friday morning to hit Bentons when it opens. Anything left to do at that point and I'm happy to help.
 
You guys have a great time, Ethan is the best host ever..
I am so bummed the planetickets from Norway are so da.... expensive, but I hope to meet up with you guys at Blade Show 2017..
This year had to be a no-show for me because of new job and incredibly low value of the Norwegian krone to the US dollar..

The Nords will show up again eventually...
 
It would have been good to see you again, but I totally understand.
 
Y'all boys is fancy back 'ere. We still squattin behind trees and what knots o'er here. We ain't got no fancy out house our nothin.

In all seriousness though, we, the collective we, have vastly different gathering from cost to cost. It's a privilege that I've been fortunate enough to have been to both east and west. And regardless of their differences they are both equally fun. I wish you all a great time back east! And I must find some of that bug repellant!

Just a word about the weekend......

I will provide the evening meals animal protein and the major carbohydrate to accompany it....... The breakfasts which are legendary consist of - OK what did you bring, let's throw it on the grill and the process is overseen by Derek and Pointy.....So, please bring a little smoked meat or something to add to the pile...... Drinks, snacks and lunch are what you bring..... We are lucky to have some very generous souls who will be in attendance and I am as usual hoping that Tate is his creative self..... Tate - those venison appetizers were fantastic, hint, hint.........

Sharing a few extra peanuts, etc. will help bring a smile and that folks, is what this is all about -Smiles....... Leave your pains, agonies and agendas in your easy chair at home and prepare to have fun......

Ethan

P.s. By all means bring a chair, an extra flat of water and if you wish a bag of hardwood lump charcoal...... The pollen season is upon us in East Tennessee Soooo- do not forget your allergy melds....

There will be a gear shuttle up to Beckerhead Camp and the aged and infirm will get rides up the hill...... There is very limited parking at camp so check wit Murph or me about protocols....... Murph- you have just been named parking Czar....

If you have specific questions about some aspect of knifery or primitive skills check with me or Vik,Derek or the Moose for who to ask...... There will be an amazing amount of outdoor as well as philosophical knowledge in attendance this weekend and all who come are prepared to share(Check with me about philosophical conundrums and I guarantee increased confusion or your money back)...... If you can stomach your favorite libation in a can it will make clean up a lot easier and please crush 'em and your water bottles as well.......Looking forward to it......Travel safe ..... E
 
No worries E....... I've already got you covered on the appetizers. Been saving a couple of 14 day dry aged Texas Axis Backstraps just for this occasion! Also have a few other special deer recipes I'm going to whip up.

And as always, I'll be bringing some Cajun goodness as well.

See y'all soon.

It's funny, I woke up this afternoon to a small bundle of PMs about parking. Now I understand why. I'm bringing backup this weekend.


 
Gear's packed. I'm getting excited. I plan to hit the road early tomorrow morning. It's a 13 hour drive, so I hope to arrive just before dark.
 
Rolling out early A.M. Plan on arriving around noonish.
 
I am doing some reloading of 45 for the weekend and getting the toys ready for the range. trying to get an extra anvil for hammering on too! I will be out Thursday night if all goes well. Friday morning at the latest. Yes the tactical Crocs are on the bag.
 
Leaving in the a.m. tomorrow. Bringing my stuffed peppers, sharp stuff, and camera. Oh, and bacon. Not to mention our official beer of choice. Who knows... I might bring something special. See you boys around noon.

Are we needing another anvil? I have two, its no problem to throw one in the back of the truck if you guys think we need it?
 
I brought 2 anvils and the piece of rail -- and E found a small anvil in the shop during spring cleaning, so we should be pretty OK.
not having any luck finding day-glo/hot pink marking paint for the new anvil though. :(
 
Sounds like we don't need so I will leave it. Is there anything you guys need that I can bring? Leaving at lunch headed your way. Send me a text if there is.
