the date is set, a name picked and all is a go!
and we are adding some primitive skills to the event
primitive camping only
there is electricity and drinking quality water available
but no place for large rvs-sorry
smaller campers on the back of pickups would be fine
this is a child friendly event
and there will be no guns allowed
(if you carry while traveling that is fine but please DO NOT remove from your vehicle while on the farm)
there will be some osage staves available for sale or bring your own of course
might have a few hickory too
if you would like to come and bring staves for sale, that would be good
or any other primitive goods or raw materials
there will likely be a nominal fee of $5 or 10 to cover some of the property owners costs of getting everything ready.
gas for mower/brushhog and the chainsaw for cutting firewood,
water and electric usage etc.
if you are in the area and would like to spend a day helping out beforehand, the event will be free.
contact me directly if you would like to get involved.
we have numerous projects going on.
esp the barn which would be great to have available if the weather is nasty
(tho it is starting to feel like it will never rain here again....)
also, if you would like to demonstrate any primitive skills please contact me.
there is a nice above ground pool.
depending on the weather and how much other work we get done, it will likely be filled and ready to use.
there is one large firepit which includes a cool pizza oven. we are gonna try and get another built over by the barn
no food available, you will be responsible for your own eats.
typically at campouts on this farm, there are numerous shared meals around the fire.
that is up to each of you if you chose to cook food to share.
town is only about 10 mins away if you need to restock supplies.
often there are communal runs to town for staples like beer and ice.
more details as time gets nearer.
please feel free to contact me if you have questions
welcome to the prairie rattler!
