June 12, 2010 Campout at Mikes Farm

[longbow]

The weekend of June 12 we are having our second MSG/INGO campout! My place is about 10 miles west of Bloomington, Indiana.

This is what was said about last year's event. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...o_campout_with_pic_s_and_vids.html#post402571

It's open with ten slots and this year will be an improved version. Besides camping and some shooting at my place, i'd like campers to share unique gear or skills to the rest of the group.

This is family friendly so bring the wife and kids. We have some farm animals and a fishing pond so that can keep the kids interest for at least a few minutes.

I'm open to Friday evening or Sat morning arrivals with Sunday departures. I also don't mind if you want to stage some gear at my place prior to the campout if that helps with your plans.

Let me know if you want to attend!

We may be in Tennessee on the 12th. If not, on our way. I'll talk to the hubster and see if we can swing through. Would love to be a part of this. Reps to you good sir.

Two methods. The first by a physician, the second is the best method for field removal.

My AR tools just arrived, so if you need to do some work on your AR, we can get it done.

This likes a great time! I would love to come and share knowledge with like minded, good folks. My wife doesn't do the primitive thing, so it would just be me and maybe another INGO guy that has expressed an interest in skills training and knowledge advancement.
Besides I have plenty of gear, and love having a excuse to use it! Please count me in. What a generous offer to host this event.
If you are in need of help, I am contemplating taking the Friday before off, and extend the weekend and I would be honored to come down and help out with set up, or whatever you may need an extra set of hands to do.

 

[Bull13]

I would be happy to share my knowledge of natural medicines,ie tincture, saves, etc.using easily found herbs and vegetables.

 

[longbow]

Just a small bump.

Looks like we are half way filled!

Spent Easter primitive camping down at Crane NAS. Very good time. ' )

Heck of a generous offer...

Will be out for most of June, but maybe catch up with y'all on another outing.

I'm sorry, I made a scheduling error. I have other commitments for this weekend. Please accept my apology for booking before checking. Hope to catch you guys next time.

Hey Longbow, didn't know if we needed to RSVP, but I was planning on coming. I can bring some of my Ham gear and talk about what I know.

Yes, please do! If you need to set up early-let me know!

1 or 2 coming?

 

[Lex Concord]

Hey longbow.

I recently found out I'll be free that weekend. I'd like to come if you still have any openings.

 

[RachelMarie]

I'm gonna miss it.....sniff. Such a bummer.

 

[longbow]

Still have a few spots left. One dropped out so I still have room.

We will have an operational Ham Radio to broadcast news of the day!

Just to nitpick, but on Ham you "transmit" and "receive". Radio stations "broadcast". Just a minor point but underlines the idea of communication in Ham of one station to another.
