Mojam questions regarding roughed out bows, and a few others

<< < (2/4) > >>

Thanks for the replies gents.

I won't need an electrical hookup. Just curious if tents were primitive enough for the gathering, or if I needed to dig a hole with an e-tool lol!

I won't make it on Thursday on account of work, but I'll be there from Friday afternoon til the end.

Well then, I'll definitely be bringing my tools, a small pile of roughed out staves, and would be happy to bring some food for the potluck. I'm really looking forward to it!

Last year was very nice, but as a rule, the week of MOJAM can be VERY hot.  Please plan to keep ample hydration going.  Each year that I have been there, we have had free ICE available.  Be sure to bring a cooler and somekind of drinking vessel to have on hand most of the time.

There has always been a band saw and a belt sander available as well, but other than these, you should plan to bring what tools you need.  If you are missing something, there are always guys there that did bring whatever you might be missing.  I have loaned my tools with reckless abandon and have never lost anything at MOJAM.  There are some really knowledgeable guys, ...and several of us that pretend to be, that are always willing to help with your bow building projects, whatever state you are at in the project.

In addition to the hydration drinking, there is sometimes a wee bit of adult beverage imbibing that happens at MOJAM.  There is a good deal of sharing that happens with this as well, so if you partake of such, plan to contribute something as well.  MOJAM is a family friendly event, so it's not like anyone is getting loaded and acting foolish, ...but some degree of ethanol related relaxation does occur in the evenings.

All-in-all, MOJAM is about the most rewarding and fun experience a body can have anywhere on the planet while staying comfortably and modestly dressed.  >:D

I couldn't have said it better myself fellas!

make-n-break, expect it to be fairly crowded on Friday afternoon. But we all will try to help you find a place to pitch your tent. There is a Pavilion where a lot of us gather to work on bows and to do some demonstrations. There is a concession stand as well. There will be a lot of trading going on as well as several vendor's. Be sure to bring a bit of wampum as well. There will be an auction on Saturday night of all of the items people donate to help raise money for the event.

I'm going to try to bring name tags so the guys from the forums can put their screen names on them to. I missed meeting so many of them last year. Patrick

Glad to hear that a first timer is coming. Bring what ya got and someone will furnish what you forgot...  ;D
Funny story there, stop by my camp and I'll share it with you.   ;)
