  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

What kind of things can we REALLY look forward to at the Beckerhead Gathering.

Tanner, u need to talk Dave Canterbury into coming. That would be pretty sweet. IMO at least

I doubt it. Not only is he always busy, but he is firmly in the clutches of Blind Horse Knives (and now Habilis). I still pepper the Pathfinder Facebook Group with pictures of my Beckers every chance I get. In fact, someone on there just yesterday posted pictures of his first leather scout sheath he built for his BK2. I friended him and sent him the link to this place.
 
Tanner, I'm willing to drive from Cincinnati if you want to stop here. I'm still ironing out the work details but I'm planning on attending.

Haven't mapped it out yet, but I'll be driving with my full load out in my car....which is substantial.
 
A beckerhead gathering is well worth a 6 hour drive. Heck I'm flying to the fall one as soon as dates are set.
 
What can you expect? Well, I've organized 3 of them so far, and I have to say, this one is going to be a little more laid back.

In talking about it with E, we decided that the Spring Gathering will be more "meet and greet" and fellowship, with the fall being more based on skills, and games.

Oh, don't worry, we will have games, and all kinds of fun stuff, like, 22lr Top Shot competitions, tomahawk, and knife (throwing knife) competitions, some skills classes for those that are interested, some cooking classes for those that are interested, a shit ton of drinking and campfire fun.

What you shouldn't expect, is to be bored, unhappy, or out of place.

Once you meet and get to know E some, you will see what I mean. He opens up HIS house and HIS land for us to play on and have a great time. He is a very hospitable person, and hands down, one of the coolest people I know.

There are places to fish (fast water), kayak (again, fast water), fields to hunt in (out of state license needed), and then, we also have access to Ethan Property.

Expect some of the finest cooks this side of the Mississippi, getting their campfire cook on, Mrs. Trade, and Pointy are just a couple. Derek and Misty, Murph and The Nuge, everyone gets their cook on, and it is some damn fine eats.

Skills? We will teach or assist with ANY outdoor skill you are interested in, and if we can't do it, then, well, we're probably too drunk.

You can expect me to be shitfaced at twice over the entire Gathering, with random sightings of "Pretty Buzzed".

You can expect a RangeMaster to be on duty at all times, and you can expect to adhere to the 2 most important rules that we have. Don't drink and handle firearms, and don't be an asshole.

The second on, means, if you are a lousy drunk, don't drink. If you are one of those "wanna fight!!" kinda guys, don't come. We are into having a great time, and trust me, if you don't get along with others, it won't be the others that are leaving.

Other than that, you'll need to come find out for youself.

Oh, I forgot to mention, for those that are interested, we will be setting up a couple sets of BKT shorts for use all weekend by the community at large.

There will be some cutting competitions, but nothing like the knife rodeo we had last time. That will be in the fall.

If you want to bring your firearms, please remember they are your responsibility, so, anything that happens to them, is yours to deal with, not ours.

My daughters will be in attendance until Friday night (they have soccer all weekend after Friday), so, you will get a chance to meet and greet Ma Gulz.
