Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2018 SW New Mexico Camp and Shoot

Below is my initial attempt at putting together a supply list. I don’t know if the plan is for us to cook as a group or otherwise. Personally, I plan on cooking over a campfire for my daughter Julia and I, but I am happy to pitch in and bring a few needed supplies if the plan is indeed for group cooking. I guess we’ll need input from those attending on this issue.

Thanks, High Noon - that's quite a list - looks a lot like some we've used before.

The idea will be to have our big group meals as Friday Evening, Saturday Breakfast, Saturday Evening and Sunday Breakfast - four in all - and have folks bring whatever snacks or lunch items they want for themselves. We are working toward a simple meal prep plan - with volunteer cooks - and for sure will be asking participants to bring the ingredients and supplies needed. It all will be done in this thread and we will get sign-ups for things to bring.

More later.

First week of August makes it better for me to potentially attend...
Quemado is my annual summer vacation getaway yearly.. I'd hate to miss it..
I'd hate to miss all my friends ever moreso...

We are moving into another house, after 17 years here... taking possession on July 13th.

Got my fingers crossed..

Quemado is OK, but not much of a place to have your summer vacation - and you will miss the gathering if you land there. The gang will be at Armijo Springs.

I did too, late yesterday, and I cited this current thread since the title is a bit different from prior years'.

Norm

From way up this way, its Quemado...

once I get to town, then I start calling it Army Jo Springs, like the locals...

I was thinking of proposing to change the name of the gathering to Camp Walker...
military style...with a motto, "The Older We Get the Better We Was.."

Thanks CCCC, please let me know what I can do to help.

Bump!

The count that I have so far is 30 definitely coming and 5 maybes. There are a few regulars who haven't chimed in--please let us know if we can expect you.

You seem to have some very good thoughts, but you can abandon that one for more than one reason. A few dedicated SW guys started this event and have invested a bunch in keeping it going - if ever it needs further naming, this little gang should be the focus. As you know, we don't apply much military knowledge to it all - good thing, because I know next to nothing about the military. So, no formal rules, and very few normative ones.

And, in my case, the older I get the more I wonder if ever I was much good.

I hope you can be with us again John.

Bump

Paul and others, I intend to bring some steaks again, as I have in the past. Usually a cryovac New York strip, but could be a Ribeye, depending on what I find. Will need a pretty accurate head count before I leave out. I talked to a Grocery store in Beebe and they said they would have them available. miles

Highnoon has a menu started.

May I suggest that we get some input from those attending.

Anyone with special needs ?

Food allergies ?

Anything special you would like to eat ?

I know that tradition has been a Friday night fish fry and Saturday has been Mexican food and steaks.

We can get a menu in place, and then each of us can take a food assignment or two. This way we don't end up with too much of one thing, and not enough of another.

Those that don't have the capacity to bring something due to limited space in a vehicle could make a cash donation.

Oh, and remember, you will need to store what you bring. So make sure you have enough cooler space and plenty of ice or freezer packs.

Miles has volunteered to brings steaks. I'll bring at least 10 lbs of bacon. Can never have too much of that stuff

Don't forget extra toilet paper. Remember to pack your medications. Light weight rain gear, a warm jacket. Maybe an extra pair of boots or shoes.


Dennisinaz - Can you post the agenda and rules for the shooting matches... for those that have never been or need a reminder.

Note that I said that I would bring the steaks, not cook them. miles

The guys who are getting the meal plan together are making a list of what foods you folks are volunteering to bring (thanks for that), and will confirm specific needs once the meal crews and plans are set.

Good suggestions on menu etc. but simply can't organize all of that, from all directions, in this broad thread.
More later on particulars.

Shooting contest info will be published once it is set - maybe a month before the event - need more rain in order to solidify site.


This appears to be double good news.

Well, if Miles cooks his steaks like he cooks bacon (extra crispy) we're all in trouble. Better leave Miles to the bacon duty roster.

Miles, Makes some damn good stew when he comes to visit me, but his ham sandwich's leave something to be desired. Rio7

Poor Miles brings steaks, get grilled.

Miles - we saw what Blue reported - would you like to help save your rep and cook up some stew at the gathering? We could provide plenty of possum meat.
