MSG3: Meeting Regularly Now

[ColdSteel223]

Bump to the top. Come on guys, this is for the group. All of those people who said we never do anything here is your chance to vote and then participate in a training activity.

What equipment do we need to bring Philo?

As far as the stick/cane demo if you wish to actively participate, a broom handle would work. ABSOLUTLY NO HARD CONTACT should happen.

If you have a personal compass bring it. If you don't, I have a few to share. Also bring paper, pencil, and a calculator ( most smart phones have one built in). Don't worry, no higher math - just some simple multiplication and division like how long is my pace length if 10 paces takes me 53'4".

Dammit!

This sounds very interesting.

Looks like bwframe just volunteered to be the meat puppet for the rest of the attendees.

Rock on bw.

Hope you except a newbie here to your group.
I did signup on the poll.
Wroked great.

 

[indychad]

I'd be interested provided the dates work for me. Tried the poll but it wants me to reconfigure. Not going to happen. Post the dates for us to see and let's make it happen.

 

[bwframe]

Glad to see some more interest in this! I spoke with a couple local guys today at the WVPPS match today that expressed interest also.

 

[FCS-04]

another noob here that is interested.

 

[bwframe]

Anybody that's interested, we will be having a training in map reading, basic compass navigation and orienteering. The plan is to hold it at Karst Farm Park just west of Bloomington. Time and date to be determined by the following Doodle poll. Doodle: Orienteering Basics

I don't usually use these things, so if the poll doesn't work please let me know.

If things work out we'll also try to have a stick/cane/club based defense demo at the same time and date.

So far only 4 people have shown enough interest to post in the poll and commit to a day and time to do this.
Wed the 23rd 6-8PM, Mon the 28th 6-8PM, Wed the 30th 6-8PM, & May 5th 6-8PM are the dates that all 4 have agreed on.

Any input from the peanut gallery that can't/won't figure out/trust the poll?

It looks like the weather on the 23rd will cooperate for outside activities.

If no one else has to have one of the later days I say we go for it on the 23rd.

Thanks for summarizing this.

 

[bwframe]

Sounds good to me. Lets do it day after tomorrow. Wed 23rd 6-8PM.

Go in the park gate, turn left immediately, and follow the drive around to the end. We'll probably use the shelterhouse at the end of the drive.

That right there is what I call funny.

 

[bwframe]

Which one of these models is best for what we'll be doing?

 

[philo]

Why don't you wait til after tomorrow to get something. I have all of those for you to try. See which one you are most comfortable with. I only suggested bringing your own so that people could work with what they are used to. Use this as an opportunity to "test drive".

Silva is a good name brand, so I suspect all of those are decent quality. Where is that?

I'm telling you guys, it's a trap. Don't let PhilO take you deep into the woods. He'll get ya lost, tell ya he knows where he is going and makes ya pack all this stuff around the woods. All the while he's enjoying a leisure walk, looking up admiring all he pretty trees.











Oh wait, maybe that only happens if you work for him. Never mind.

Not lost... just the scenic route.
