Thanks Bill. I'm trying to get a lacal meet for us from La' Hopefully in a couple of weeks. Don't know if we have time for a camping trip for our first meet. We could meet at some public place that is central to everyone around here. We would discuss the big meet.
Several of the family are along the southern coast, they're fishermen, some are mid-country around Tullamore in County Offaly, some are in and around Belfast, and the rest scattered in betwixt the two. Just a general yell on a hillside will do just fine.
I still plan on trying to go Mastercajun and Old_anorak. If possible I may try to go a day or two earlier. I still need to get me a tent and a mattress to sleep on but if necessary I can sleep on a blanket on the ground. LOL
You're going to share a campsite with me and mine, right?
Yep if that's ok with you.
I thought you'd like that bill ...... the blanket on the ground that is LOL
I don't think there will be a problem at all. It might actually cut down on some of the stuff you need to bring. I'm not even going to bring a campstove, I'm going to make several of the little stove things Ronin did a video on. I'm going to make the bigger ones so I can cook on them with no fuss and no muss.
I didn't know about a video Ronin did. Wow have I got alot to learn and sounds like I'll get a big dose at this meet and greet. I can't wait to learn.
It's a little stove made from a soda can, wax, cardboard, cotton balls, and vasoline. I think it burns over an hour and you can put it out and re light it later on. So much easier than a camp stove, especially first thing in the morning. I don't drink coffee, but I'm sure some do and this should be a fast way of getting it going.
Hey that's neat and I have all of that on hand too.
Let me find the link for you. He posted the video here on the forum and then did a re-build for a bigger one and posted the video on it as well.

That is the link. The first video is for a little fire starter and then in the second video he made a big one, that's the size I'll be using to cook on. Going to use a #10 can to go over top to act as a stove ring so I can set a pan or grill over the flame.

ok I'll check it out and then I'm gonna hit the sack.
I think I am headed in that direction as well. I need to work on my oldest girl's shirt but not sure if I'll get that done tonight or wait until tomorrow.
Awwww just wait until tomorrow it ain't going anywhere. LOL Sleep tight my friend and sister. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Sleep well Sis.
ok im still gonna try n make it.but it being this early on.not sure if i can save enough money for the trip n all.
Really? Couldn't y'all have it in western South Dakota/Eastern Wyoming the first week of August? I could make that
Are we there yet......how far is it....I've got to pee...
I told you to pee before we left, just hold it.
Mommy! Bill keeps looking at me!!!! Rofl
Do I need to pull this thread over? Do I?
i triple dare ya!!! lil sis..stop them kids of yours from whinning..
I'll stop this car....I will.....boy , don't make me stop this car....I will( as he's trying to slap me from the front seat while I pull my little sister in front of me to block the blows)
Why can I see someone getting saran wrapped in their sleeping bag at this thing?
cause it might actully happen...lol
You're right, it probably will. Hmmm..... maybe saran wrap should be kept locked up.... got to go make a list of potential terrorist camping items that will need to be registered and applied for before being passed out.
I'll hide mine for if Bill keeps being mean to me. Mommy Bill has to pee AGAIN. ARE WE THERE YET? I see this will be a meet that we will never forget. Might not learn much but we will have a great time.
Having a great time is good. I'd rather have good memories than information and a period of time that drags on forever.
