For me, not enough. In no particular order.
Thsshootest, Brother Keith, oidabbile, Jim, 5sdad, John.hmm, there must be many more.
You kind folks?
Probably over a hundred.
Kent
More than a handful....wait a minute....I mean...never mind
A whole passel I'd like to meet.
A couple, before i was on here.
Didnt know they were members.
I’ve met Rick Menefee (and spent time at his shop), one of the most genuine men I’ve ever met, and likely the BEST at his craft of anyone I’ve ever known.
I’ve met Mike Miller, a really good dude who makes a fine using knife at a very fair price.
And I’ve met Dale Howe, another fine knife maker who makes a good knife at a fair price...and he’s a good guy too.
I'm getting old and can't remember that high... or more than 1 thing on the grocery list...
Kent
I met JeffP
Great guy.......
The preceding was facetious
Autofive, Ruger73(has never posted) and mudder700. I would like to meet a lot more.
I thought it would be cool if we could buy 24hourcampfire hats or something. I bet they would be a great conversation starter if we ran across a fellow member.
The only one I’ve ever met was Stoney (slg888) Good guy with some impressive animal mounts.
I’d like to meet a few more at some point
I've met many at the ArmyJoe summer rendezvous. There's many others I'd like to meet, as well as several of the fellers in the AK forum - they've always been rather decent fellows.
One thing's for certain, the vast majority of the fellers on the 'fire are stand-up dudes. True Americans that I'd be proud to stand alongside.
Last time we had a post like this I listed well over a hundred I had hunted or fished with and I have met a whole bunch more since.
Me, an' Paul, new299s.
Whelen Nut, Bobski, Colorado Bob, and maybe a few more. All great guys. Be Well, RZ.
A bunch. But not enough. Every ‘fire member I have met exceeded expectations. What a fine lot.
Probably over a hundred.
Kent
You got me beat
I've probably met 50 but a lot of them are celebrities. Here's a few. Doc rocket, flyboy flem, evil twin, dvd George, local dirt, Manlicher, eh76, got lost, bad luck, kameradLes, kamo gari, Bobcape, Boise, oldtrapper, northern Dave, tzone, most of their affiliates and many others, a lot of whom no longer post. My apologies to friends I missed. In my defense I usually think of you in terms of your real names vs handles here on the fire. I've either dragged deer, gutted and/or cut up deer or antelope with most of them. And would charge hell with a bucket of water if they needed me to.
Probably over a hundred.
Kent
Ken, Ya think????
Shall we start namin' names?
I'd bet - between the SW contingent - there'd be over a hundred!
3 colorado get-togethers, one in Wyo and a whole buncha guys have stopped by the ranch on their way thru eastern CO. Never tried to count 'em....
In the order that I met them.

Get clue homie.
I've met a couple, including Field Grade a year or so before he went to the big campfire in the sky.
Was going to meet monashe on a hunt but he couldn't make it. He passed shortly after, we said a prayer for him in camp. He was a great man I wish I could have met.
Gunner, sambo, bobski. Probably um dozen others but I'm terrible with names , tedhorn , osu sig are couple that I forgot .Tulsa gunshow ,

Quite a few and some day i hope to reconnect
Ran into Stick in Alaska but nobody else so far
March, 2020
Is that the facebook campfire crew?
Indeed from Texas to Arizona. I do miss the Arizona trip though I only attended two.
Have met 30 to 40 ‘fire members at the 2016 Savagefest in Wellsboro, PA and the 2018, ‘19, ‘20 Savage Rendezvous in Noxen, PA.
Great times with great people.

You are welcome anytime all summer in north Idaho. Just me and the wife drinking on the porch though.

You lived to tell about it.... so you are welcome.... did you drink his booze?
Met a bunch myself, and enjoyed every minute.
I gotta say I'd nominate krp as the best story teller and a pretty damned good chef, and the best general entertainer is kaywoodie. Seafire probably has the highest conversational endurance, and elkhunternm is the champeen of jackrabbit killers...many more, and all better than me at just about everything!
I know.... Ed almost got me....

Thurs-Sun the lodge is open down the road.
Any other day it's a long way to town.
I don't know any bootleggers out here. I should check on that though, for TEOTWAWKI though, could be a useful connection...........antiseptic for wounds and all that.

"Oh, you poor, poor man"
or something like that.
I met a bunch in Pa at a get together. Joe Martin and Gnoahhh put me up and put up with me. Also Seafire and a few of the other locals. The one I didn't like I loaned him $200 and he disappeared. It was worth it.

Got to buy Geno lunch, though. He’s a little feller, doesn’t eat much....

Dead serious but the stuff you listed reside in Texas. Will a '99 F150 and a Ruger 44 Carbine do? I just clicked 59 and am looking forward to another 20 if I am lucky. I won't even let politics work me these days. Mustang Club road run on Saturday for BBQ.

No worries. We are in Idaho June - August and I am happy to make a short road trip for a visit.
I'm one of the original 24HCF members so most of my acquaintances from the fire aren't around much any more - Boggy Creek Ranger was one I dearly wanted to get together with, but didn't quite connect with. Some of the others I've met of the couple dozen I've gotten together with probably wouldn't be familiar to most of you youngsters but - Silver Bullet, Spike, Bob Metcalf (SU35), Tom Lee and his lovely wife , Sitka Deer, Okanagan, Jim in Idaho, Steve, Jim Hackiewiscz, and a whole bunch more I simply can't remember their handles. Went through about a 10 year period where I avoided the craziness the fire turned into while I was dealing with my own fires at home and lost track of quite a few old friends from here.
Now that I'm retired I may have to make the effort to seek out a few of the characters here and have a beer, chat, and possibly a hunt or just a shooting or show and tell session......
Bob
Handful or so
All decent men that it was my honor to shake their hand & either break bread with them, spend some time w etc.
The women in my family still swoon over ironbender
wild one, from NY got the let’s get hammered Fbks tour, not sure, but I don’t think he ever posted after that, he started us out on peartini’s I finished him off w wild turkey 🤷🏻♂️
Probably over a hundred. My work used to take me all over the country and I'd make a point to try to hook up with folks from the 'Fire wherever I went, plus I hosted two very memorable Gatherings at the ranch in East Texas and have attended a bunch of the Armijo Springs/Quemado shindigs and a couple of smaller gatherings at Crossfireoops' place before he passed away.
Ed
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting both RiverRider and Tarbe recently. They both seemed like fine fellows and I appreciate them helping out a guy just getting started with reloading (at either the worst time or the best depending on perspective).
Many - but some of the fires finest are close friends. You might recognize this critter gitter’.

I'm guessing you're the old one?
I have met and hunted with Varmintguy. I consider him a very good friend.
While at Mayo in Minnesota I went and met Redneck at his shop. Really nice man.
I've never had the opportunity, but there are a few on here I would like to meet. I'll take that back. If Frank500 is who I think he is, I stayed at his house one time when I went to a Linebaugh shoot. Might have met a few others there too. Don't know for certain.

I think you and I brought up the sun onetime, and then drove home the next morning after a couple hr's sleep.
458Win has been by a couple times for coffee. Run in to him around town every now and then. He's a great guy and a joy to visit with. I don't know if he'll come back to my house though after I drooled so heavily on his 1910 Mannlicher Schoenauer.

Yep and a couple of early mornings with Pat eating Doritos as well...
Just two, KC and Colorado Bob. Both are outstanding.
Met a few, some I stay loosely in touch with, others not.....ISAAC, VANimrod(4ager), PUGS, ROOF, Doctor Encore, 7x57 STEVE(RIP) and a couple more that I don't remember their Campfire handles....
The women in my family still swoon over ironbender
It happens.
A lot.
2 .come to mind. Both great guys
Sactoller
Chlinstructor
Maybe 1 or 2 others..., Can't remember.
A bunch. Can't put a number on it. I was at all of the gatherings at Armijo springs, I think. Two in Arizona, and two in Texas at Ed-two-many-letters. One which included a tornado.
One at Padre Island that STXhunter had. Had a great time at all of them miles
Not as many as Kent or Miles, but quite a few. I was at 4 Armijo Springs get togethers, 2 at Ed's, and have visited a few at other times. I hate to have to name everyone, because I'm sure I would leave out some. But I can assure you this, everyone of them have been good people and they are welcome at my fire, anytime.
I've met with kennymauser twice, and CowboyBart once to do business, Bigsky and I are good friends. Kenny and bart seem to be fine gentlemen, I have developed a special fondness for kenny.
A few. STX, Doc Rock,Bucktales, Madmooner, Tex n Cal, Colorado1135, Lt.Powell, Gordon, Bobcape, Meddybemps, AKMTNHNTR, DVDegeorge, CCCC, EH76, JMCubic, Kingston, Seafire, Kenneth (sort of), BigJim, AKguide, Mako25(spits), ND Snowman and more...
Hasbeen1945, bought a Kleinguenther 300 Win Mag from me. I wish I hadn’t sold it like a lot of others I’ve had.
