LOL,my legs probably wouldn't touch the ground on that little guy either Crash
WOW this thread has gone far of field.
OK The date is the THIRD weekend in August.(14,15, 16)
The Location is Kemperor's private acreage(provided he gets it approved.)
It may be small enough we can just have potluck meals each day.
I personally believe that it will be worth attending even if only 5 people show up; but I'm hoping for more. If we all contribute we can have a pig roast to cap the weekend.(if that is something you folks might be interested in)
If you're planning on attending you're on the planning commitee(LOL). Let's get some of the planning out of the way sooner rather than later. OK what do you folks have to say now?
well that's pretty darned important.Quote:

Hey Kemporer, is Gosport, Indiana rock solid for the meet?
I live in spouthern Il and very interested.
Well roll up your pack and wade across the Wabash. You'll be welcome, too.
But first, head on over here and tell us a bit about yourself so we know what to expect.
Well do we want to do this thing?
Absolutely. Just waiting on you to set the date and location.

I posted on the other thread and asked if Gosport was locked in concrete but no reply so far.
Yup,I think he would show up at the Jamboree,just to make sure I didn't!
My wife has given me a hall pass for the trip, so looking forward to it.
Cool beans Crash,don't know if I will get the time off work,we shall see.
Kemperor seems to have been away from the site since he promised the land. So I may have to find another location.Quote:

I was thinking of contacting Wilderness Way Magazine and Backwoodsman Magazine and Hood's Woods and seeing if they would donate some subscriptions and DVDs for raffle or door prizes. You folks have any ideas?
We still have some time for the location. I was hoping he would log on and give us some idea if Gosport was a Go. If it turns out that we have to find some place else we can still plan for that general location. There are a number of state and national areas we could look at. Charles Deam Wilderness, Morgan Monroe, McCormicks Creek, lot's of areas in Hoosier National. So, location shouldn't be a problem. Most areas have group camping available. Charles Deam is all primative camping.
A hog roast, huh? Any packing plant should be able to handle that.
I was going to bring some items for door prizes. I think I can probably come up with a few things members would be interested in.
I was planning on making a couple of little kits to give away. If I can get the time, and find a local company to cut a few steel blanks for a design I made there might even be a knife.
Oh, there will be knives. That's for certain.
> Where ya headed buddy?
>Indiana Survival Jamboree.
>So, you bringing much camping gear?
>Me? Nah. I'm kind of a minalmist camper.
>Sooooo. What's the tractor trailor for?
>My knives.

So - arriving on Friday the 14th and leaving on Sunday?
Sounds good to me.
any update that is confirmered?
I just sent Kemporer an email asking about the 100 acres at Gosport. I'll let you all know what he says. If anyone else has acreage or knows of acreage that could be used, speak up!
I hope he replies
no clue friend. i would like to go to that. dont know if i can. i dont know any body up there with that much space. i do have a friend in illinois.. but his one room appt wound never do.......
Well that's for sure. You'd spill the oil. It would ignite the place and then where would we be?
Well that would be just great, Dreamgirl. We'd love to have you but isn't that a bit of drive from Bangladesh?
Why not hike over to the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself?

Hoosier...... If you make it to the rendevous ya gotta try bud's rootbeer if he's still there. Barq's -n- dad's ain't got nothin on bud's. the food ain't bad either. Enjoy
I've got plans to make it this year. I love good rootbeer.
I guess Kemporer is sort of MIA. You Indiana folks got plans for an alternative?
Some one mentioned hoosier national forest I've camped there a few time's there is an area called hemlock cliffs it has a primative camping area ( FREE) but No services (water,toilet's,lights NONE It does however have about 10-12 camping spots where you could probibly set up twice that many tents. if anyone wants to rappel there are some good cliff's about 200 yards from the camp area. As well as several trails etc. I'm not sure where or who you call for more info.
Der twert no rutbeer der
I did pick up a Nessmuk knife w/ tooled leather sheath. High carbon steel 58-60 Rockwell5.5" blade, full tang, 3 pins, maple slabs finished with danish oil.Looks like it will make a pretty good brushcraft knife.
hoosier..... Sorry to hear bud wasn't there but it has been 3-4 years since I went last. But bud has been there for years maybe hopefully he just took a year off.
