Planning a Daniel Boone weekend for the Suffolk Group at the end of Sept. using two woodland locations, at the same time, so looking forward to that one...

Great link. Thanks. But the 1800s were a century later for Daniel Boone. But there are plenty of overlaps (particularly with the early 1800s and Lewis & Clark)

Yeah it is Sam, I have found it fun to reserch the way they used to do things, it will be interesting in the winter, I wanted to do the Challenge before the weather went down hill in to winter saying that I like it in the winter as it really starts to challenge you, it easy to camp in the summer..

I was also jsut wondering the other night about running the same challenge in the winter if there was the call.. and if the Suffolk one is a sucess...

I´m in! I´ll even do it next week when I come home from my exhibition.
I assume I´m allowed to bring my camera?

Woodsrunner: I love the way you packed your gear!

 

[santaman2000]

To be fair it would need to be in Winter to be period correct. They would have been out camping in Winter to run traplines (when the furs were at their prime) whereas in Summer they would have been home farming.

 

[Arya]

Oh! That was an important detail yes...
I´ll do it next week and then again when winter comes. Am I allowed to make myself a snow cave in the winter?

 

[woodsrunner]

speaking of winter here is a similar setup of mine from last winter
i hope its ok to post them here MOT








i realize this does not count for this year...so i'll be sure and get out when the snow flys...woods
