Title: Nuggets N.C Get together, knap in, bow building, semi primitive shindig.
Post by: nugget on February 06, 2010, 10:44:51 am

Who is ready for a get together at my place?  I am thinking either the weekend of March 26, 27, 28 or April  2, 3, 4. All the usual stuff is planned. Food, Archery, Knapping, Camping, Bow Building, Primitive Skills and whatever else we get into. You never know when another chicken hunt will break out.  ;D For all those who have attended come on back, and for those who have not come, come on over and join in the festivities.
Let me know if you are interested, or which of these days work better for you. PM or call me

Alright. Works for me Bryan.
 A friends of Boo and mine will also be there and he teaches survival classes. He is going to do some seminars on making snares and shelters among other survival techniques. He has his own company and goes around the globe teaching classes. This dude is a wealth of survival knowledge.

Jonathan, I sent you a PM with Directions. I am in North Wilkesboro. I am probably about an hour from Cleveland. I used to work there at the Freightliner plant.

Post by: jonathan creason on March 10, 2010, 01:33:45 pm

You can pretty much send an arrow to my house from Freightliner.  I live just across the tracks on Third Creek Church Rd.  I would definitely like to get together some other time.  I've just made the switch to traditional archery, and would like to progress to the primitive stuff.

Gonna do some work this weekend to get stuff ready. Trying to plan on clearing enough room for everyone to camp. If you are camping might be a good idea to pack warm sleeping gear to be on the safe side. ;D Can't never count on the weather this year.

Mrs. Nugget ( Brenda) is planning on cooking a big pot of chili Friday evening and a campfire breakfast on Sunday morning. Usually there is leftovers for lunch on Saturaday from the chili. Other than that I figured we could do some pot luck on Saturday. I am trying to get a hold of same rabbits for a meal also. I aint having much luck and they are up to 10$ apiece around here for one of any size.  ???. I will keep on looking.

Might be a chance of rain Friday. I will have a tarp up, but just in case if you are coming Friday bring a canopy if you have one.

I went down to Nugget's and Brenda's for the day yesterday. Had a shining time. You two are gracious hosts and a lot of work went into the doings. Had folks from 8 weeks old to folks in the mid 60's. Great presentation on survival skills. As usual everyone willing and able to share their knowledge and everyone willing to roll their sleeves and help each other. Learned that I got to make my re/de tips smaller.
Thanks you two.

Hey Grunt, I was the lurker watching all the great knapping. I didn't get your name but when you posted it was "shinning times", I realized yo were the guy wearing the buffalo vest. It was good meeting you and all the others. Looking forward to the next event already. I sent you a message on the trading list about the baker tent.
