Spring Turkey Camp, 2018
Hawkdancer:
Got my tag yesterday! Getting anxious! Starting to plan the load list and my early menu(eat at nearest cafe!). I think I can get there on Sunday to help camp set up and get my lodge set up, and scout/hunt some. Keep us posted on fire bans, etc. I can bring Weber kettle grills, large and small, and a "fake" fire. Will also bring camp stove and small propane grill.

If you can shut off the fire with a switch, you can have it. They used to turn a blind eye to my woodburner in the tent because it had a spark arresting system and I only used it in the winter/snow. But we have had several winter fires now and all burning is pretty well banned.
I have a huge three burner gas stove/grill system with flat tops. Plus I will have another smaller coleman gas burner on the side for keeping hot water for washing up. More than anything, consider bringing several larger containers of water. No matter how much we bring, I always end up running into town some day at noon to refill containers.
I drove into the camp site last Sunday to scout and do a little work on cleaning up deadfalls/etc. There was a lot of snow, and it was slathered up and down with turkey tracks and turkey crap! We may have to limit the use of turkey calls around camp or it could become a bad scene from Deliverence with scads of hillbilly turkeys taking a liking to our purty mouths!
Hawkdancer:
I will count my water cans, I think I can bring 35-40 gallons! Have to recheck the cutoffs for the tent stove and the "fake" fire and make sure there is one for each! At least we can sit around and pretend! Not being able to have a real campfire is the pits, can't smoke your self in sage!
We are in a red flag warning tomorrow and maybe again Thursday, May get rain and/or snow Friday!

Ok then, less than three weeks to camp and I have finalized the menu, folks:
Tues evening: buffalo burgers, barbecue beans, coleslaw (easy peasy)
Wednesday:
a.m. Sausage, eggs, home fries
p.m. Venison stew, cornbread
Thursday:
a.m. Biscuits and gravy, eggs
p.m. Corned beef and all the fixings
Friday:
a.m. Pancakes, bacon and eggs
p.m. T-bone steak and baked potatoes, salad
Saturday:
a.m. Spicy chorizo and egg breakfast tacos
p.m. Carnitas, refried beans, Mexican rice, and fresh made guacamole
Sunday:
a.m. Antacids for the day before, Scotch eggs
There will also be a pot of soup hanging around most of the time. I will make up scratch chicken and noodle, split pea, and something else to be determined. As usual, there will be a fresh fruit supply of bananas, apples, grapes, etc. I recommend a banana a day for the potassium to ward off leg cramps. There will also be a supply of carrot sticks, celery, cheeses, and crackers so that you can load your pockets before rushing off into the woods in the morning or evening. Rumour has it there will be a large jar of pickled eggs, too. (Just in case anyone gets tired of all the fresh air, ya know)
