Glad you enjoyed it Rocky, it was the lease I could do to say thanks to you and the whole Elm hall crew for putting together such a fine event!!!
Forest_Farmer:
I finally got home from the U.P. and started catching up with the Elm Hall posts.
I too had a great time, and came away from this years event with a great sense of accomplishment from building my first friction fires.
Thank you Tony for your bringing your gear and knowledge! For the record you are a very good teacher, and that was key everyone being successful. Because of your efforts, while in the UP, I was able to collect materials from the surrounding woods and make several friction fires. I also passed on this knowledge to my 79 year old neighbor.
Thanks to both Chris's, Paul,and Dan for helping me with harvesting my first Elm. Hopefully I will make something worthy of the efforts (Paul). A special thanks also goes out to Greg "Badly Bent" and Sharon for saving me a killer camp sight, and letting me share meals with you.
The food, friends and laughter around the camp fires was fantastic. It's amazing how many friends I've made after only being evolved in traditional archery for only 3 years. Some of the finest people I ever met. Can't wait to see you all again next year!!
I will also be posting a few pictures once I figure out how to reduce them to a good posting size.

I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few of the guys cooking for the Saturday night feast, and me cooking up some moose tenderloin.

Here's a picture of my friction fire making kit that I made in the UP after Elm Hall.
Badly Bent:
Thank you Ed for cooking up that moose tenderloin for us, that was deeeelicious. You wasted no time I see putting together a nice friction fire kit. Your right about Tony being a first rate instructor, he let me have a go at it on one of his kits and it worked on my first attempt. Thanks for sharing your skills Tony.
Your right about this being a great place to make some of the best friends a guy could ask for, I'm always looking forward to the next gathering and hanging out with the PA family. See ya at the next one cottontail. :)
