That is great. But remember something before you sign up. You will meet up with like minded people. You will have a great time around the campfire, heck you might even sing. You will eat great food. You may even make life long friends. You might even win a prize. You will have life long memories. And you might get your arse handed to you or maybe you'll be a surprise. You might share great hunting stories around the campfire. You might just have memories and a great time. If you're not up for that.....don't sign up.

I don't mind having my arse handed to me as long as I learn something in the process but I have been known to pull a miracle out of it every now and then as well.

Same here. I'll be the guy with the hot pink ammo box and little pony stickers on it. That ammo box is reserved solely for this event.

Sounds as though you are committed to show up cat. Are you planning to camp out or get a room in DV? I think that Nicole and I will book a room again this year. The crowd wasn't too happy with my noisy generator last year....lol.

Don't worry about your gen set Git.
Leave it at home.
We will find you a nice quiet suitcase generator to plug into.

Yup , committed !
I'll likely tent it, all that way for one night in the 5th wheel ain't worth it for myself.
Trying to figure put what to bring for heat, it's down to the 6.5x55O/U , the K31,
Or the .303
Crap I'll bring 'em all and decide when I step to the line!!
