Wilderness Survival Campout

[Boghog1]

When: March 10, 2012 10:00am through Mar 11, 2012 unknown departure time
Where: Pustizzi Fruit Farm http://www.pustizzifruitfarm.com/
What: A day of wilderness survival, building a shelter, fire from sparker, bow drill, maybe others. Ways to get water. Any other skills you might have that you would like to share:

Cost: $0.00, although I would suggest maybe we spend some money at Mr. Pustizzi's farm stand for being nice enough to let us use his land

What to bring:
Bring what you would take on a day hike like the following

1. Rain Gear
2. Extra clothes
3. Pocket or sheath knife
4. Fire starter (matches, chemical, magnify lens,or a magnesium stick)
5. Map http://maps.wildlife.state.nh.us/website/maps/Topos/topo_135NE.pdf
6. Compass
7. Trail Food
8. Water
9. Sunglasses and sunscreen
10. First Aid Kit
11. Flashlight
12. Whistle

Plug this location in to google maps to get an idea of where we would be

43.313235,-71.663818

I am going to recommend tents to reduce environmental impact maybe sleeping bags depending on the weather, if we are looking at 40° nights then I would say to get the full effect go without the bag, but since this is for your own benefit I would not force you to go without.

Here are a couple of nice little survival kit ideas

Congratulations on getting this set up and getting a date.

As you know I can't be there but it looks very interesting in the original thread.

PICS of the sweat dripping onto the bow-and-drill:
(the first time I was given Fire-Proof bamboo to use as a joke - Not Funny!)

Enjoy and kepp the fire burning!

Any chance this will happen again...with some warning next time...I would love to do something like this...but I work on the weekends

 

[Tim L]

It was great to meet BogHOg today and I will assist anyway I can.

 

[lord1234]

I think I am in +1 if that's ok?

 

[Boghog1]

That is fine on the plus one. As for possible future events that will depend on the feedback from this event.

 

[Tim L]

Hopefully the weather will be decent and those that attend will get to explore and maybe crack off a round or two after the work/learning is done. It was very cold and windy at the top yesterday and Boghog was further handicapped by having to slow his pace for me. It is very scenic and I think ideal for the wilderness training. I should have pulled out my phone and snapped a few pics.

i would love to do this but im gonna be in NY for work for the next 4 weeks. if you do this again please let me know

 

[Tim L]

Hopefully if it is a success ,there will be more camp out and possibly a shoot.Maybe incorporate a family thing during the various berry seasons to keep the other half happy.Fresh Blueberries,strawberries ,rasberries along with fresh cantalope etc can having a calming effect. With two gun shops nearby perhaps while the wives pick berries the men can pick deals on firearms. Win/win.

[Tim L]

Timber, Boghog and I considered calling you when we were at the farm but thought it might be bad form to call with no advance notice.

 

[Tim L]

Once you started hanging with your buddies at the Harvard club, I knew we were under dressed to entertain.

 

[daveyburt]

100% in!

what's the deal with hike length? We humping 5 mi. uphill?

 

[Tim L]

Both ways .

[Boghog1]

Hike will be dependent on the health of the group there are many trails on the property but figure at min 1/4-1/2 a mile we could make it as long as around 2-3 miles from the sounds of the trails in the area

CRAP I have a class on the 11th but would love to get into the next one.

 

[Tim L]

Yes, you can take the snowmobile trails for miles or Joes atv trails which wind through the farm.Some have challenging terrain.

You could always leave early

 

[Mike-Mike]

You could always leave early

It's a great Idea but my class is at 9am in Shrewsbury. And we bump the clocks forward that night. I would love to do another day If you do a part 2. With enough notice I will commit right now.

Don't feel bad you won't miss much.Just a bunch of great guys hanging out around the campfire having a beer talking about the days shooting with the views of the mountains in the background, or discussing how cool it is that two gun shops are right down the road. Maybe just the Moose that walked by or the coyote that you shot or the flock of turkeys that flew into the trees because the bobcat startled them. Perhaps the neighboring deer farm gave you a tour or Joe made a bunch of his famous fried dough drizzled in homemade maple syrup right off the farm. Don't give it another thought, you'll hardley miss a thing.

Mike, pack your bags, you're going on a Guilt Trip.

 

[Tim L]

Hey, if you don't make it, you don't make. Sure Timber and the boys will probably call you a Homo but in a couple of years it will blow over.

First one to spot a Squatch wins a case of beer !

Gonzo is coming?

 

[Tim L]

Depending upon where Boghog1 decides to camp, you could be evacuated out by truck or atv if needed.There is a large amount of forest but Boghog drove his Ranger up the logging road to the top field on Saturday.
