If everything goes alright at work I'll be there Friday morning, :) if not I'll be there that evening. For anyone thats coming I would be interested in trading for some arrow making supplies. Feathers, points, raw shafts especially good river cane or tonkin cane. I have some sourwood shoots already. I could also use some tutoring in arrow making. ::)
-
Scott, I'll try to bring some stuff, and we can make up some arrows.
-
HAve fun! ;D
ISnt there anything ever exciting like this n Illinois beside corn? ;D
-
I'll have to see, but I'll be trying.
-
David, the corn won't even be exciting this year in Ill with all the flooding. :(
I have some hill cane and other hardwood shoots. Pat
-
David, you need you a Greyhound ticket. :)
-
I thinking on it,I leave for Mi. on the 30th, Maybe Joanie will let me get out 2 weeks in a row.
How far is it Pat from the club ? GregB mentioned it also but I will have to see to believe. ;) ;D
Pappy
-
Pappy, we are about 5 1/2 hours or so from you. It would be great if you and Greg and anyone else from there could come. 8)
You can try to mapquest my address....189 Calico Lake Dr. Brevard NC 28712
or Brevard NC, 28712. I can give you better dirrections than they will so let me know if ya'll are coming and I'll get them back to you. Pat
-
Thanks ,I will let you know in a few days.
Pappy
-
Greg, wish I could get a ticket. Its just tourist season now and I am in harness to the job. So just no time! I will definitly be at the 12th Classic though. Just too much fun! Though I'm sure Pats will be a blast too. ;D
-
Man I want to go !
I am laid off and am financially embaressed.
Anyone need a co pilot????????
I might be able to scrape together half the fuel money !
I am a displaced worker due to lower wages in Mexico.
Because of that I will be attending college. Good or bad??????
I am going back to college to be a Nurse :o :o
Yes me a nurse !!!
Think of that every time you have to go to the Hospital.
Anyways I will be there if I can make it .
T.J.
-
Sorry that may have been a little harsh .
-
TJ, Wade is coming from the Relaigh/Chapel Hill area(I believe) and Alan(Woodland Roamer) from somewhere down that way. Dick Bernier is coming from down east but hes coming on Thursday. Pat
-
Pat, wish it was some other weekend. Its the same weekend as Denton hill ETAR. Its the bigest traditional rendezvous in the US, and its in Coudersport, Pa. We've been going there for the last 6 years and its hard to miss a year because of all the people we only get to see there. Maybe some year though.
-
I sure wish I could make it. Maybe David could drive and pick me up on the way. ;D
David, Just run down I15 and Ill meet you at the junction with I70. We can take 70 the rest of the way.
I think I might try to make it to Ryan's next year. Pappys is great, but its right before the kids get out of school. Ryans is right after they are out so the family could come. Justin
-
It would probably be the same distance for both of you. Way too far to drive for a weekend these days.
Ryan, I'd love to make it to one of the big events some year. Just getting a chance to meet and talk to some of the trad archery "celebs" would be cool. Pat
-
Just getting a chance to meet and talk to some of the trad archery "celebs" would be cool. Pat
I met you, Ryan, Pappy, Greg Dick, Hillbilly and a few others at Pappy's last year. Are there other celebrities? ;D
-
Well TJ, After seeing you in the Kilt, I hope you at least shave your legs before you try on that little white skirt. And I'll change my own bedpan, thankyou.
-
Keep that stuff up Eddie and I will make sure you get a prostate exam by the doctor with the BIG fingers.
-
Oh! Edie, I feel for ya. OUCH! ;D
-
TJ we could work something out I'm sure... Sounds like I bring my own tent though (KILT) ;D
Dave
-
This kilt epidemic is all Marius's fault............... ;D
-
Easy Dave I will take the offer for the ride but not a sleepover ;D.
-
pat would love too join in???.....would like more details etc.... if i can fund it i will be there? ..will need directions etc,..
your friend ! in sportsmanship!!...snake/jeff...... jdfconst@aol.com ...thankyou!!
-
Jeff, You are welcomed to join us. I will post directions soon. All you need is a tent ,a bit of food and yourself. If you have tools and/or a project you're working on, bring them. Its gonna be a fun weekend. 8) Pat
-
Hey Nugget, I'm comming down 40 to Ashville. If you need a ride let me know and I can pick you up. We could meet somewhere off of I40 or around it to stash your truck. The only problem is I am comming down Thursday. Have to dig a heat treating pit etc. I will have my truck so there is lots of room.
Dick
-
Dick I appreciate it . I am starting classes that week. I will not be able to leave until Fri evening. I am working something out with Knightd ( Dave ) . If all goes well I will be there ;D
T.J.
-
Hey Patty B. I'm gonna try to make it but my wife is having her hip replaced on the 14th and will be recovering for quite some time. Also, there happens to be a certain 7 month old that will need watching. Maybe I can get my mom to cover for me for a night.
Is it right that you will be turning 35? ;D
-
Johathan, That plus 28! ;D 8) I hope you can make it but your wife's recovery is definitely more important. Best wishes to her!!!...and the 7 month old probably needs lots of TLC too. I will be cool if you can make it but we understand if not. Boy will you miss out!!! >:D Pat
-

Jonathan, just say that you're going to the store for a jug of milk........................................ ;D
-
Jonathan, just say that you're going to the store for a jug of milk........................................ ;D
I've already used that one up. Could a kidnapping be arranged? Though, I doubt a ransom would be forthcoming ;D
-
Not worth it without a ransom. Do you think anyone would pay us to haul you off?
-
I will be there pat. Not sure how early but was thinking friday round noon.
TJ - sent you an email regarding giving you a lift. I could get you there but you might have to find a different way home. Have to pick up my wife's mom from charlotte on sunday round 2 I think. The price of getting away for the weekend.
looking forward to it. Will bring up some toys and materials.
Too bad I just found out now about y'all building a pit for treating rock..... I have been cooking rock all day in the oven..... my wife is gonna hit the roof when she gets home from work.... house is hot as hades. Picked up approx 50 lbs of untreated flint ridge while I was up in OH.
gotta run and actually get some work done.
later.
wade
-
Hey n2everything. What part of Ohio did you pick that rock up from? My wife is from the Akron area and once a year we go up to visit her folks. I would love to get hold of some. Did you buy it from somewhere? or hunt it out from the woods?
-
I went to the Flint ridge park. It is about 5 miles north of I-70 on 668. West of Zanesville and south east of Newark.
There are several dealers up there close to the museum. The museum sells some really nice heat treated bifaces but the cost is high. I got a few anyway. Good thing to support and it is a cool museum if you are up that way. They had a knapper working and nice displays and some trails thru the woods. West of the museum on Flint ridge road is a private museum and shop. I got the untreated rock there for bout 2$/lb. Most of the other dealers were down at a knapp-in in southern OH.
The guy I got it from said he would be interested in trading for some NC rock If I brought some up next time I came. Figure I will head back up that way in the early spring. Will put the word out b4 I go. shoot me a PM and I will give you his name and contact info if you are interested.
sorry to get off topic but I will bring some up to Pat's to play with.
later,
wade
-
I'll be there, can't wait! Hey TJ, I'm from Taylorsville if you need a ride there or back just let me know. I'll be leaving Friday morning.
Alan
-
Alan, glad you can make it. I just posted on your PP thread asking you if you were coming up. You need to post that wigwam over here in the Primitive Skills forum.
-
Anybody willing to let me shanghai a shaving horse? I will have a couple of boo/ipe staves that i want to work on and I'll have to move the horse away from everyone else if I want to survive the weekend.:)
John
-
Thanks Alan
But I can not leave until after 5 on Fri . I have classes all day .
-
John, I have a shaving horse you can use. Dick will probably be bringing his also. TJ, will we see you in your nurses outfit? ;D Getting close, guys. I have to think about getting started on the facilities! :o
Pat
-
UHHHHHHHHHH NO >:( Kilt maybe :o
-
Eddie, what is it with you and the Kilts? Ya, know in that hot and humid conditions you all live in a kilt is nice and breezy! Go ahead Eddie, try a kilt! You KNOW you want too!!! ;D >:D ;D
-
Hay I just spotted a toilet on the side of the road during one of the yearly large item pickups the city does.
Headed out to snatch it right now.
I thought I would bring it up to pats for folks to play with.
Question is should I break it up some before I come up and save messing up pats yard or should I bring it up whole.
Never busted up a tank for knapping. Any suggestions?
Pat what is yoru preference? we could probably haul away any mess we make for the most part and save you having to throw out pieces..
later
wade
-
Let's bust it at Pat's. We don't need the bowl, just the tank. ;D
-
You might better bring the bowl too. All we have is the one outhouse! :o
Wade, I have no problem with you bringing it. We can bury the remains with the other scraps. Pat
-
Hi guys. Just back from a two day RC tank combat event. Good to be back and yes I will bring my "Horse".
Dick
-
Hey anyone coming that has a mulberry stave or two that you could part with? I've been wanting to try it, I have locust and black walnut staves to trade and some wild turkey secondaries, I'll see what else I can find too.
Alan
-
Well ended up with 2 tanks... and get this I scored a 60" road killed corn snake on the way back from picking them up.
After smashing up the bowls I have a 5 gal pail full of decent pieces to knapp (and a 1/2 doz bleeding wounds). Wife asked if I had fun after I came in to soak up the blood. Man this stuff is sharp. Will bring up the 2 tanks and lids to play with.
Snake skin is drying as well. :)
later....... the toilet snatcher
-
Alan, I might have a godd mulberry stave left, pretty sure I've at least got some good billets. I'll look through my little shed of horrors and see what I've got. :)
Wade, cool score on the corn snake, they sure have a nice pattern. Never saw one up here in the mountains.
-
Alan,I have one that Hillbilly sent me a year or so ago and a shorty that Jamie sent me. You can have your pick. I'd like to try a good locust stave for an Eastern Woodland style. Pat.
-
Sounds good guys! I'll bring some locust and walnut, maybe some hickory too. I have two sets of osage billets and one set of locust that I'm bringing to see if I can get some advice on splicing. I've never done that before and my osage supply is about gone so these billets are too valueable to me not to use. I'm planning on doing some logging when I'm in Kansas this fall. ;D
Alan
-
David, the corn won't even be exciting this year in Ill with all the flooding. :(
I have some hill cane and other hardwood shoots. Pat
Is the corn ever exciting? ;D
-
David, you need you a Greyhound ticket. :)
I wish I could get one :-[ I should be seeing you all at the tenn classic next year tough
-
Corn is exciting when the deer are coming in to it! ;) It will be nice to meet you next year at the Classic, David. 8) Pat
-
Any of you guy's going to bring arrow making material's for trade???
David
-
I've got some cane and some different hardwood shoots. There is hill cane growing along the creek that has some good arrow material amongst it.
-
Eddie, what is it with you and the Kilts? Ya, know in that hot and humid conditions you all live in a kilt is nice and breezy! Go ahead Eddie, try a kilt! You KNOW you want too!!! ;D >:D ;D
Hmmm! Just realized Eddie (Mullet) is not on this thread. Meant Nugget! ::) Just me entering early senility! Anyone else hearing voices or is it just me? :o
-
Thank's pat..Sound's like a winner to me..
david
-
Tiller, you been sniffing soap again? ;D
-
Nope! Just eating tater totts. ;D The soap fumes are a bonus!
-
Nope David, I'm far, far, away. Bueno Dias
-
Oi, Como vai voce, Eddie?
So your in Brazil? Kathy (Your wifes name?) must be keeping you on a real short leash with all them perty Brazilian gals running arround in thong bikinis. Be carefull when playing Capoeira, I hurt my back doing that and can't play no more! :'(
-
Pat I would'nt mind getting some more of that hill cane by the creek. ;D
Good stuff. Is that some of the same stuff I got from you at Hickory?
-
Thats the same. ;) Pat
-
Oh Yeah
-
I wants some of that there cane!!!!!
-
what all should we all bring in the way of food/beverages to contribute?
w
-
Wade, We will probably do a pot luck on Sat night. Other than that whatever you want. Extra ice is always welcomed...and extra libations! ;D
For the flat landers, We have been having cool night time temps so bring appropriate layers.
-
Pat
Got some bad news. :( I am not going to be able to make it next weekend.
I have my final exam the week following your Camp O Rama. I will be elbow deep in books the whole weekend. I need all the study time I can get.
I am sorry.
I really wanted to go .
Knightd thanks for the offer. I will try to take you up on it next year.
Best wishes and a happy BDay to ya Pat.
T.J.
-
TJ, Sorry to hear that. We will miss you and try not to have too much fun without you! ;)
We'll do it again next year. Your exams are more important!!! Pat
-
Yeah sorry to hear that TJ, let me know when you want to come down this way and check out the wigwam.
Alan
-
I will get in touch with you afterI get this nursing class finished and pass my state test.
I will not have much time at all until after mid Aug :(
-
Sorry to hear that TJ, but hopefully there'll be next year.
I just unwrapped this:
(http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z239/borwish/DSCF0351.jpg)
Anybody willing to sit down with me and figure out how to tiller it. I was going to go for more bend, but thought it better to go gradual.
John
-
Sure wish I could be there. I'll be flying home Friday. You guy's have fun and if Tom is there I'll give one of you a call.
-
Eddie, just hijack the plane and fly it on in to Asheville. :)
-
Nawww, got stop by and see Momma first ;) >:D. HeySteve, no rain in the forecast this weekend. Get a commitee to work on those Friendship Bows.
-
Let it go Eddie...let it go :D......Brian
-
;D
-
Well, things are being readied! ;) 8) If everybody, that can, will bring a few sticks of fire wood it would help. Also, we have had a pretty active tick season so far so everyone be forewarned. I have some Permanone spray but bring more if you have it. As I think of other things I will post here. Ya'll do the same. Pat
-
also...I have a Weber charcoal grill, a Coleman 2 burner camp stove and a few lanterns. I will also have plenty of well water on site. We have electricity...but only single hole outhouse. I did buy a 20# bail of ERC chips and have ground lime, so that will help some. ::)....maybe, knowing these guys! :o Pat
-
Here are a few preview shots of what you have to look forward to!....
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Looks like my future reirement home ;) :D But ya need to get a 2 holer eh ;)
-
I'm too bashful for a 2 holer! :-[ Dana
-
I'm sure Dana could figure out a way to plumb it, treat the water back to purity!
-
Anybody have a scrap of hardwood I can have for a handle? I've got a boo/ipe blank that I want to glue up there and it's going to need a riser. All I've got left is red oak which would be ugly and some mahogany that didn't like being a handle last time I tried.
Thanks,
John
-
John, I probably have something. Give me some dimensions. Pat.
-
Wanted to let y'all know what I planned to do for Sat night potluck.
I was at the store tonight getting groceries and consumable liquids....
Anyway I stared and stared at the meat.... didnt have a clue...
You guys always seem to have so much good meat anyway.....
So I bought Spuds... HUGE frickin spuds. got 12 bakers and all the fixins and foil. got bacon bits, cheeze, sour cream and the works...
Figured I would throw them in the fire an hour before we decided we would eat. Should be nuf for all. One looks too much for me. like i said these things are HUGE... so dont no body else bring 'taters'.
Course I bought plenty of hydrating liquids as well.
Sound OK?
Cant wait. been looking forward to this for a while.
see Y'all there
wade
-
Thanks Pat. 8 or 9 inches long, a little over an 1 wide and about 3/4 thick should work, but I'm open to suggestions.
John
-
Wade, sounds like you took the tater by the horns. ;D Good for you. Sounds good to me. I have a leg-o-lamb that Alan Brown gave me I was gonna do something with.
John, osage OK. I'll see what else I may have.
I got a call from Tom Brennan(Tom B) tonight. He and his son Patrick(Lil Pat) are coming for a few hours on Saturday. Some of you guys know Tom but some don't. A few weeks ago, Tom had a portion of a brain tumor removed. I'm pleased he is well enough to come and honored that he would. He told me tonight that most of what they took out was Yankee! ;D
My weekend starts tomorrow when Dick gets here. Hey Dick, when are you getting here. ??? ;) Pat
-
Pat, I reckon osage would work. I'm still open for suggestions as far as what looks good. Some people think that I shouldn't be allowed to dress myself. :)
I'm glad to hear that Tom is doing well and will be able to make it some. I have a question or two for him.
-
Good to know Tom is doing well. Glad he will make it up.
-
question for y'all. started packing this am and trying to figure out what to take along.
specifically osage and other staves... they are much to heavy just to haul up to pat's then back home. however if someone is interested in doing some stave trading I'll haul them up.
I have one walnut, one Elm, One Hickory, and quite a few osage 1/2 logs or 1/4s that I might be interested in trading. a couple of the 1/2 logs I think if you have a band saw you could get 2 bows out of them. also have a couple that will be a real challange.... either really snaky or knotty or holey.
anyone interested? dont want to haul them up and back if no one is. Was just planning on bringing 3 one of which I was going to work on.
let me know.
wade
-
Hey looking good Pat! I can't wait. I'll bring a bunch of extra ice with me.
Alan
-
n2everything, you've got a pm.
John
-
Oh yeah, I'm bringing some watermelon. I hope they survive being in my car on those roller coasters yall call roads.
John
-
mole I got some 1/8" purple hart and some hickory pieces. also got some thin pieces Ipe of I could prep for ya??multi colored handle?
David
-
Hey Wade, I might be interested in that elm if no one else has spoke for it. I don't know what I have to trade for it. I have a couple of osage staves also or some leather that would be good for putting on bow handles etc.
Pat, I'm bringing some venison with me. I got to looking through the freezer and I had more meat than I thought. I 'll bring a couple of small roasts and some tenderloin. :)
-
I will throw the elm in too then. maybe we can work up a trade.
-
Knightd, I've never tried a multi-layered handle before. It could be interesting. Let's see what we can do.
Thanks,
John
-
I'll have some black locust, walnut and hickory staves to trade if anyone is interested. I could use some more osage. I also have a lot of wild turkey secondaries.
Alan
-
anyone interested in trading something for an osage sapling? I have a couple I might be interested in trading. they are 2 yrs old and prob 4 - 5 ft tall.
-
Wade, I'm interested! bring them along. Pat
-
Any of you guy's interested in Ipe or osage core's??
David
-
;D I'm interested is most all of what ya'll got. If you got room, bring it along.
Alan, I may have a few sticks of osage. ;) I need a good locust stave for a Cherokee style bow.
-
Have a great b-day celebration Pat (mines the 26th) and don't have too much fun without us undesirables who can't make it. We expect some good footage of all the loafing that will be goin on. Oh, and don't let that Steve Parker character get ooga-booga on ya. ;D
-
We'll miss ya Jonathan. Hopefully next year. That kid will be shooting by then! Have a happy B-Day yourself. Pat
-
Well, I'm back home and had a good time. As soon as I get a hydraulic press, I'll get that boo/ipe to bend...
John
-
Well, we had a fabulous weekend. Thanks to all you guys for helping me slip into another year. WE had some bow building, heat treating and knapping rock, primitive cordage making and fire starting with a hand drill plus a bit of rain dodging, eating, drinking and prestidigitation. 8)
Here are a few pics I took...the fire pit under the blue tarp is where some different rocks were heat treated over the weekend. I dug the pit a few days earlier but we, started a fire in the pit to dry out the soil, then lined the bottom with flat stones as reflectors, added a few bags of sand then a layer or rock, more sand and started the fire. We cooked the rock Friday night and let the fire slowly cool down. It was Sunday morning before the pit was cool enough to remove the rock. Its amazing to see the changes in these rocks after heat treating. I'm not a knapper but I'm sure someone else will explain the process and changes.
A few bows were started and worked on. Mole will have plenty of work to do to get the boo backed ipe bow where it well bend. I think he likes them strong but I believe he will have to remove more ipe from the belly to get his bow down to the "strong" stage! ;D
Enjoy.....

Nice pics Pat. Thanks for having this again, it was a great time!.....except for the chigger bites in all the wrong places :o :D
Alan
-
Alan, I didn't think I should be the only one to receive gifts so I thought I'd send everyone home with a little something. ;D Enjoyed having you here. Thanks for the locust stave. We will do this again next year!!! This was really a great bunch of guys. 8) Pat
-
Looks like yall had a good time,wished I could have been there.I know it was a blast. :)
Pappy
-
It was fun Pappy. Always is when like minded fellows get together. Just emailed Pat about 40 more photos. Maybe he can get them on today.
Dick
-
Wish I could make more events. Looks like yet another great time and I actually recognize a few faces - Steve, Cody, Dick, Barry. I'm just trying to keep some of em connected in my head so's not to feel stupid next time ;D..
-
Hey guys! Looks I missed out on a real good time. But due to circumstances beyond my control, I was not able to make it. Maybe next time. Happy Birthday, Pat!!!
David
-
David, I was wondering where you where. I figured the rain Saturday scared ya'll off. Sorry you missed it. We'll do it again next year.
Paul, I'll see if I can find a water tank for you around here that needs building.
I'll try to get the pics from Dick up tomorrow. I think I have to download them to a disc first. ???
Pappy, I'd love to host you guys for a change. Maybe next year. ;) Pat

Thanks Dick. That is a good representative view of the camp-o-rama. ;) Pat
-
Hey! Where those two Ryan and Dingleberry I saw there?
Man, that looked like fur. Nice set up you have there Pat. If I tried to have an open workshop like that here in WA in the winter I would be freezing or the hammers and tools would flight out the door during a wind storm. Though you must have to batten things down during the Hurricane season!
Dingleberry, you still beating yourself silly with those tree limbs? ;D
David T
PS: Wish I could have been there!
-
I don't think they were there. What photo you talking about?
Dick
-
Looks like a great time ! I'm glad to hear everyone survived. :D
Pat, you share a birthday with my Dad ;D
-
Dick, I get everyones names mixed up. Someone enlighten me again. :-\
-
I'll go down the list of the photos I posted. You can then relate back to Pats photos.
Wade, Barry, and Bob

Barry, Chris, Alan(back) and Steve
The last photo in the group shows Barry McCall cooking corn in the rain with Cody Parker under the tarp.
Hope I got them all right
Dick
-
oops! Steve then. Was Barry at the Classic? If so then I think it was Steve and Barry I'm thinking of. Can't EVER mistake Pat for someone else. Though that beard sure works like natural camouflage! ;D
-
I wasn't at the classic this year but I do not believe Barry McCall was there.
Dick
-
Yeah Fred-uh-I-mean-Tiller, Barry was at the TN Classic.
Can't EVER mistake Pat for someone else
How about Billy Gibbons or Dusty Hill?
[attachment deleted by admin]

I stand corrected on Barry at the classic. :-[
Dick
-
Barry was at the Classic this year. He came with the Hillbilly gang. Pat
-
Had a blast Pat. thanks for hosting us and putting up with our crap all weekend. Man it was fun. hard to get back into work on monday and actually do anything.

I hate I had to miss all that . I did pass my Exam with flying colors. 94 out of 100 . So I was doing something constructive . I still would have rather been there.
Anyways there is always next year I guess. Looks like it was fun.

Great pics. Looks like it was a blast. Pat, I bet your but is still raw from all those birfday spankings! ;D Next year for sure.
Oh, and my wife is walking, without a cane, after only two weeks from her hip surgery. Let's see holistic medicine do that. ;)

That's a lot of pictures Dick, I wasn't getting tired of looking at em - just making me hungry ;D. I thought Barry was trying to save the rocks from the rain, but guess it don't hurt to cook in the rain time to time - like the choice in paper plates ::) ;D. I'll be around there sooner or later again Pat, we be getting lot's of work in the Carolina's last few years - I'm keeping my fingers crossed :).

On page 9 there is a picture of Pat with his fingers together and someone else looking on. The caption to that picture should be"No, No, it goes like this. Here is the Church and here is the steeple, open the doors and here's all the people." ;D Sorry I just couldn't resist! >:D

Actually Cowboy the rocks were under the big blue canopy in the big oval pit. Barry and Cody were cooking corn under the silver tarp and it was RAINING >:( at that time. It has been a nice laid back time up in the mountains for this gettogether. The best part is NO PHONE SERVICE. ;D Would be nice to see you again. Vinson asks about you. Their baby is due any day now.

Thanks Dick! It'll be good to hook up with you fellers again someday. I know what you mean about the mountains, am in Co right now on vacation - man it's purty. Tell Vinson I said howdy :).
