Mountain Man Roundvous

Is that how you spell Roundvous??? Any way, I had the opportunity to go to Mtn Man this year, I forgot to bring my camera and totally forgot I had a camera on my phone so all I have are prep pictures from home. Black powder rifles, black smiths, trading post, tomahawk trowing, climbing tower, team wall, mirror signaling, archery, Indian field hockey, pellet guns, blow guns, fire starting, throwing knives, and the best butchering and field dressing game! yeup you heard that last part right and Varsity team that wanted to had the opportunity to clean and prep and game animal, Rabbit, duck, chicken, quail. The leader in charge killed the animal and then had the boys give hands on help. AWESOME!!


Kari making my Capote, or Mountain man Jacket/coat. We went and got two old blankets from Goodwill, one was an electric blanket so I had to remove some wires.

The hat I also got from Goodwill for $5 and reblocked/reshaped it to look like a cowboy hat.

Check these bad boys out, The smaller one is the size of a large stake knife and the big one is.. well... lets just say ridiculous huge. I made these for the Mtn Man Roundvouz. All of the boys that came up wanted to play with the big knife. I had many offers to trade for it but did not take any of them. Maybe next time.

That's awesome! My ward never goes to those. I'm so jealous. Somehow I'm always out of Scouts just long enough to miss the trek too. :(

Love the huge knife, did you make it?

BTW - to answer your question...it's 'rendezvous'

Esther would be jealous of your rendezvous experience. She and Monica are still very much involved.
