Here is your chance to get out and test your emergency bag
setup/contents in the wild. Get out there and run what ya brung. See
what works, or not, for your current setup. If you plan to attend and
have special training or skills you would like to share, or have
included in the event, by all means let us know! We want everyone to be
safe, have fun, and enjoy themselves. The event will be limited to 10-12
attendees.
Location/Details:
Sipsey Wilderness, AL. April 11-13 2014. We will be hiking in Friday afternoon and leaving on Sunday. If you cant make it Friday, you are more than welcome to come join us Saturday.
We are working on a meet-up location to safely park our vehicles and
carpool to the trailhead. More details will be posted as they transpire.
A hike is required to make it to the camp area. There will be fresh
water on site, but will need to be treated to be potable. Small fires
are good to go. Firearms are allowed in the Sipsey, however, this will
NOT be a firearms or tactics type event. Use good judgement, be safe,
and obey all State and Federal laws regarding firearms in the Sipsey.
Exact location and (free) permit info will be emailed to you upon your
reply that you are 100% in to attend. If you reserve a spot but can't
make it, let us know asap so others that do want to attend get the
opportunity!
Agenda:
We plan on having a loosely organized event that will be a chance for
all attendees to share and put survival/bushcraft knowledge to use in a
friendly atmosphere. Our goal is for everyone to have fun and learn as
much as possible about others, themselves, and their gear in action. Tom
Foolery will not be tolerated!
Gear Requirements:
None! Bring what you think you will need to the event.

We plan to practice and execute some basic outdoor survival skills on this outing such as;
Water procurement and treatment
