We are headed up super early Friday morning. Shooting to be at cabin by noon 1 o'clock.

Good call on the paper towls!

I would say bring at least a pound of bacon for sure.[emoji2] but it seems we might be short on some sweets.

Dirk is bringing eggs and just committed on tamales. Oh man... am I hearing a Mexican food day?...[emoji14] [emoji14] [emoji14] with the posole, tamales, and is someone still bringing fajitas? This...

That looks like the forecast for last year. I just pulled up weather channel forecast.125170

That is some of the best stuff.

Don't know if I mentioned TwistingInTheWind and I will b headed up with our crew early Friday morning. At the very latest we should be at the cabin by noon.

Looks good!

ThePantologist - has 2-3 dozen eggs coming.

Here is the list of food and equipment that is being brought skin far.

MichiganDave - cornbread and sausage gravy (triple batch w/ sausage) ; jambalaya (like last year, double batch w/ andouille,...

Hey just a thought of getting a more definitive group meal list going. So we don't clutter up the forum page, send me a pm with the group dish your planning on making and I'll get the list posted up...

Nice. Looks like we have the water situation handled.

K I'll work on it and let everyone know.

Were we relying on our own personal pots for water? Or would a community large kettle that was brought last year be wanted in addition to our own? I don't have a large pot, but can get one put...

Those Temps will be great!

I will also be bringing my dutch oven.

Bacon cupcakes!!![emoji14]that sounds amazing!!!

That cooking grate will definitely come in handy!

Pulks are cheap and easy. I built one last year for less than $30. Look at last year's thread for this trip I think I have a few pics. All the stuff was bought at the local aco hardware including...

At badwind7,

I doubt it will get as cold as last year, it does sound like your pretty much squared away on you gear. I would still bring an extra wool blanket or sleeping bag for in the hammock...

Yea I was thinking of doing something different, but that stuff is to good and hearty not to make. That's what I'll bring.

Myself and twistinin the wind are planning on making it out again.

Here are a few pics that I took. 104196104197104198

Great time and great new friends. and holy crap tons of food!!!

That's perfect it should b plenty big for what I bought.

Hand warmers!!!! Thats what I forgot!!!

So the dutch oven that is being brought.... What size is it? Just wondering for the amount of ingredients i need to buy for the posole. I also scored a box of thin mints and trefoils that i will be...

$50 aint bad either. I had the rope also so that helped out on the price. SO i guess factor in buying rope and a tool belt from Lowes, i would be at $50 also.

whole set up cost me less then $30. I got a waist belt from an old external frame pack that i had.

Got the pulk done.

Twistin and I will b heading up Thursday night.

Speaking of that.. when is everyone showing up?

Is there a designated fire pit at the site?

I have a gsi french press and a grinder I'll b bringing with some Starbucks Coffee beans.

Awesome! Thanks Dutch!
