Eh, all ya need is a can-do attitude and you can basically fit anything into anywhere. 

 

My backpack tent has a couple pockets in it that always has a towel (always know where your towel is), titanium spork, tongs, and various spices. Reason being, I kept forgetting the shit and had to neanderthal the shit and cook with a stick.   

My ladyfriend and I are definitely fucking going but not having our tickets till closer to date makes me want to put a big ass asterisk beside everything I offer my help on. So know that I AM going to be there but I don’t have my tickets yet and won’t till July so there is a chance that something goes terribly awry for me. Nothing foreseeable mind you but still. That’s the pessimist in me talking but I keep getting an itch to remind ya’ll about it so that if it comes down to it you have backups for extra people to grill, be a mule, etc. etc. Not that I’m a special snowflake or anything but I don’t want everyone to be one man short on anything because of me. 

Also, I’m pretty sure I’m going to team up with some adderall and make a FLH Forum shirt with my name on it so I’m more easily identified.   

Well hope to see u there, and the identity shirt would be kewl, id kno who i can score an addy from for the dash at the gate.

Lol I do the same. 

All my coworkers go to EDC so when I tell them I don’t fuck with raves I just go to one thing they get all happy.  Like 5 to 10 people fucken ask for up to a week a time. I ask for two weeks off cuz I’m driving out there an I want to rest, reflect and drink beer in my backyard when I get home. Worked perfect last year. 

Plus i say “I’m driving cross country with my girlfriend to this god music thing.” They just look at me like I’m part of a cult. Wouldn’t be the first time I would be part of a cult…that’s kinda not a lie either.

I do this too, but also level and say a campout concert festival is tagged on as well so it doesnt appear shady when I come home with dope stories to tell.  All the years it was at Hog Rock I passed through my familial stomping grounds in Indiana to get there so it actually was true.  We would stop off otw home for a pit stop which is actually the only reason I miss that spot lol.

I just have to request it off one day at a time, 180 days in advance of the day I want off. And for my first Gathering, I told people I was going camping…which is true…I just left off the music festival part.

scruffy said (in a different thread)

we should take a minute to get into sun defense in the village thread. 

rain defense, too…  no tellin what the weather will be.

I’ll be bringing extra tarps and have plenty of twine and ropes. I also have a luggage rack thing on top of my station wagon to tie off from and create more shade if needed (depending on the final configuration of the village once we’re all up in it).

My own camp setup is a russian doll scenerio. My sleeping tent is inside a screen tent that is under a shade tent (with UV protection). The shade tent is new this year because FYI, screen tents (ya know, “bug tents” with a roof) don’t do shit to shade you. I found that out last year. Just cuz there’s a shadow, don’t mean you’re blocking the sun.

If it rains, we go tarp city.

for a village count, i have it at twenty heads in i think around a dozen campsites. 

specifics:  @scruffy   @phreakcore   @bayareashaman +1   @cheshyr   @split1open +1   @jc   @spookythefungi   @ocj_brendan +1   @drfreshness   @deathmetaljuggalo +1   @skratchie +1   @celle2057 +1   @carnivalkilla44 +1.  

i guess that comes out to thirteen hooches. 

and @verytwiztidraven asked about an onsite base. 

if i included you by mistake, sorry.  if i left you out, i hope youre monitoring this thread, at least. 

 

just offhand… if youre talkin bout a massacre count, thatll be tallied in the massacre thread, im sure.

True, true! Good idea. I may have to adjust what I planned on wearing, though, to make this a more viable option. My plan of just wearing a g-string and body oil doesn’t lend itself to having many places to hide anything.  

Hey grasshoppa…OK uncle Nyrogi shall teach you fine art of the keistering used by greatest ninja warriors for generations.

Yup I’ll be there. Again, actually camping in the village is a “to be determined” for my lady and myself. We’d like to see if we can get our 2014 spot and may be picking up a friend on the way. I’ll keep you posted on that scruff, but you’ll definitely be seeing me at camp FLH kickin it/helping out with shit.

Where is @robtidwell ? And has anyone heard from @piggofdoom lately? And even though @frog doesn’t camp with you guys, save space for his infamous wheel. I think I read somewhere in the thread that @spawn wanted in. And maybe @chuklz (he wasn’t 100%, yet).

[edit] May want to also throw a PM at @thenewguy . I think he showed interest in another thread somewhere [/edit]

still determining, according to page eight. 

And has anyone heard from pigg lately?

hes around…  aint posted much cuz he dislikes posting from his phone.  guess hes got pc access problems, or sumn. 

dont know for sure at all, but seems like hes on the ‘might maybe’ list for gotj. 

And even though frog doesn’t camp with you guys, save space for his infamous wheel. 

zgood idea.  a lil nook next to the nearest thoroughfare. 

I think I read somewhere in the thread that spawn wanted in. And maybe chuklz (he wasn’t 100%, yet). 

yeah, i missed em.  sorry bout that, guys. 

assumin that spawn is a +1 [‘our tickets’], that makes the village count…  up to fifteen houses for up to twenty-three bodies. 

[edit] May want to also throw a PM at thenewguy . I think he showed interest in another thread somewhere [/edit]  

interest in the village, or in a shirt or whatever? 

at first i didnt think we really needed to get an actual count for the village, other than figuring out the space we need.  im startin to see how confusin these things can potentially get.
