I was the lucky one that got the solar oven to take home 🙂

I agree Ranger with so much going on I missed a few things as well.

Just means we need another meet.

And next time hopefully I can fire up the BBQ and make the chocolate strawberry "bread pudding".

Great meeting, I certainly learnt a lot!

thanks old School for arranging it....loved your oven ranger...and grouchyprepper has inspired me to start
dehydrating. Am going to scan the second hand stores and stock up on glass containers. We also dropped
by Dollarama and found the $2.00 bamboo sticks...Gary wants to use them to make a geodesic greenhouse!

What fun...

I want to learn house to build those. That may be a meet just on it's own.

Hello from Cambridge

I had a great time making friends and learning new ideas. I am now looking for so many items that I won't list them. Looking ofrward to the next meet.

Thanks again for arranging this Oldschool, I had a great time, I now have some new ideas in my head for some projects thanks to all of you for bringing some show and tell items. Really glad I brought Laurie with me she had a great time too and was glad she gained some knowledge from some of you.

Thanks for posting that Jerky recipe too! Sooo good, I will be makin some by the weekend! thanks Grouchy:)

Hey All,
Just wanted to add my thanks to everyone at the meet. My wife and I had a great time meeting, talking, learning and sharing with everyone.
We're looking forward to the next time we can get together!

I was glad and surprised at the amount of people that showed up. I was very happy to have met all of you that attended, and I am sure that I missed a few of you. There is talk of a 2 day camping meet some time at the end of July or early Aug. if so, I hope that we have a large attendance, and maybe we can put together an itinerary of demonstrations so that everyone can see what every one has to show. Mind you, what I would like to show some time, is what a survival camp should include, but I probably need to do this on somebody’s farm, and since I don’t know anybody outside the group that has one btwn (and I don’t want to compromise a members location) I would have to demonstrate it by some other means. Any ways I would like to thank every one that showed up and more so to those that brought some food (domestic and exotic). Was getting hungry.

Ranger,

You may have to use a sand table or scale dirt drawing with a piece of Crown land/park to explain certain details, without breaking Opsec or using someone's land. A walk and talk tour of a good piece of park land may work.

Just some thoughts,

Mountainman.

I'm talking about a covered raised sleeping platform, and a pyramid trench fire with reflector backing. Cooking planked fish, porcupine in clay, boiling water in a birch bark container. Catching fish with a trip/tip line and making a frog/fish spear. Making Bannock on a stick or Irish soda bread. How to make a water purifier with sand and charred coal or charcoal. How to make charcoal using a mound fire pit. Making grease pots for storing meats. Do people know how to water proof clay pots or make adobe. What the edible of yesteryear are called weeds today. If I could, I would start a survival camp community school, and call it a pioneers village. With people to show and teach the ways that most have forgotten. Why doctors use to carry marigolds in their pockets. Much has been forgotten with progress. 😐 Awe money.

It looks like I discovered this group just a little bit too late.
I live in the area and would have loved to join you all at the Hidden Valley meet. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it to the next event.
