Well, I'm not giving up on anyone. I figure worst case scenario I get lost and set up camp just off the trail until someone comes along who knows where to go. Failing that I'll start shouting whoo buddy and finally resort to the wood knocking if all else fails. Maybe, one of those Southern Indiana 'squach will come adopt me into their tribe. (Anyone seen "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet?)
Jerry,
Thanks for calling me out on the beer. I'll remember that this fall. I was actualy looking at the list of 40-50 potential attendees for HH3
and thinking, "Im not gonna carry in beer for all those people, this is gonna have to be a BYOB event." Even though I didn't carry the beer in for the Haloween Hang. (Thanks HMH & Doc) No, this time around it just me and just enough for me.
However, I do have a couple items for the gear raffle. I would also like to issue a small challenge f
or those willing to take it up.
Also's Friction Fire Challenge
The first person to produce a functional bow drill set and use it to generate a friction fire will receive a BNiB Maratac AAA flashlight in natural Aluminium color. (I have a personal one and love it.)
Bow drill method is not mandatory. Although no modern materials can be used to assist in the process, knife/saw excluded. The challenge won't start until Friday (our official first day of the hang) so everyone has equal chance. A successful fire must be generated from a friction formed ember in plain view of the group & prefferably myself. If there is no winner, or no one cares to take up the challenge, I will place the flashlight in the PIF thread sometime before the end of April.
EDIT: If this challenge is rained out (dont waste your time if it's been raining at all!) I will place the light in the gear raffle.
Good luck to everyone, see you on the trail.
