Survival Skills Meet and Teach Awards

[UncleJak]

I had a great time this weekend, made a lot of new friends, and look forward to the next.  In honor of this, I created a few awards....

 

 "Commando Award"- Timestepper.  Despite his crutches, Timestepper came out and showed everyone several primitive skills and held everyone's attention the whole time he spoke.

"Sunburn Award"- Whitewolf001.  His arms are lobster red and will now be known as Whitewolf Red-Arms.


"Wet T-Shirt Award"- Spots.  10a this morning, pouring down rain, Spots is wringing water from his hat and shirt!

"Youngest Overnight Camper Award"- Bigbabysweet's daughter. Despite less than desirable conditions, several of us stayed overnight.  She was definitely a trooper for sticking it out in addition to holding UncleJak's attention in thought provoking conversation about The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. 

"Oldest Overnight Camper Award"- UncleJak.  I know.....I gave myself an award.....but I was the oldest overnight camper....

"Little Mermaid Umbrella Award"- Bigbabysweets.  I guess you just had to be there for this one...

Sounds like ya'll had a blast. Maybe I can make the next one and teach some primitive skills. Count me in!

Wet Tshirt award. Nice lol. I stayed warm and dry all night under the tarp in my bag, and then got soaked standing outside talking this morning lol.

Wow, kind words indeed! Heck, I was impressed that ya'll were polite enough to pretend to be interested the whole time I was flappin' my lips! :rofl:  (Just kidding!)

 

Hopefully next time I won't have to shag out in the middle of the afternoon and can stick around long enough to earn a new award - Snoremaster!

 

On a serious note, many, MANY thanks to BBS for putting this together and even more thanks to those who were able to make it out - it was the most fun I've had in a long, loooong time!

 

:up:  :hat:  :cheers:

Funny thing is, in this pic UncleJak looks just like his avatar, lol.

[bigbabysweets]

His avatar seems to be from a bygone era. Like before color pics. It must be GrandpaJak.

May have just doctored the other photo to make it look old. :)

I did win the oldest overnight camper award so GrandpaJak may be accurate.

Not bad, were I still in TN I would have loved to have been there, looks like a much better turn out than last time we tried this.

[Slappy]

All the fun stuff happens east.  Looks like a good time fellas!  

[bigbabysweets]

Just wondering, UncleJak, who is the guy in your avatar? It looks like an Indian draped in an American flag.

Hey, the "roughing it" came about after the Wendy's! Lol I think beef has started making me sick! Edited June 7, 2013 by bigbabysweets

[whitewolf001]

That your wife brought for you... lmao. It's ok though, that A&W had AC to cool my now peeling burns. :yuck:
