MN Frozen Butt Hang 2018 Official Planning Thread

[Shug]

Indeed it was with gathering firewood(that small splitting axe was excellent), I remember a lot of people not being able to get near the fire. Food was excellent though!

This year with that many people there may have to be multiple fires going on instead of a long fire. That is a lot of people and lot of firewood needed. If Hillbilly needs help gathering firewood have him PM me. I can make a drive up there over a weekend or two.

We always had a good Canadian fire......long logs..long fire.....less log chopping and make it as long as needed.
See it at 5:28 below.

That's a super nice gesture and he might take you up on that. We are likely going up in two weekends, and he might go up this weekend too. Members have said that they are going to bring a cord of split wood, so that should help. Also, with everyone being dispersed at different sites around the campground, there should be space for individual fires if need be. given the size of this year's event it will definitely have a different "flavor" than some years past, but it will for sure be a good time!

And I'm with Shug on the long fires..... I don't think the canadians coming would allow anything else

Excellent job gentlemen!!

How does the new location affect those of us planning to come up on Thursday??

doesn't change anything - you are free to show up whenever you want that week

For sure this is the best option. Just wasn't sure if the campground wanted a fire pit 20ft long. New location and all.

Sounds like you guys have it worked out on what is needed, don't be afraid to ask if you need anything else and keep us posted!

I'd also like to point everybody to the liability waiver/disclosure which has been added to the original post on this thread, to the spreadsheet, to facebook, and will be posted at the hang as well.... it's also below

I would add other participants as well since you're including an image release.

good call - that should have been in there and was an oversight.

I am genuinely fascinated by this having lurked last year.

I just came here to ask to come so as to cut the logs to a size that fits into the fire - I’m not sure I’ll sleep at night now with that thought of all the logs hanging feet out of the fire

I’m afraid I’m not yet ready fer this but maybe one day!
