That sounds like fun
Yeah but can I bring my camper? Sleeping on the ground will have me crawling about all weekend. Plus that's my load up the truck and hook up the camper (little 20 footer of for the wife and me). Planning on having it hooked up and ready to go when buggin in goes to buggin out.
Anybody thought of an agenda, gardening, snake eatin' (kiddin' girls but seeing one cleaned and put on the grill will give you some ideas of what your facing, firearms training (breaking down some of these guns people don't see every day but may have one thrust in there hands), gun cleaning for the outdoors, I don't know, just tossing some ideas out there. I'd like to see a deer hide tanned myself, maybe one of you guys that gets one in the last few hunting days could put it up in the freezer and thaw out for preparing. Would beat sitting around and swapping lies like usually goes on in deer camp.

I would like to do something like that, being in a wheelchair I don't get a chance to do things like that very often. I'd just like to see what ideas I might get out of it, not sure I would have much knowledge to give others but would just like to see what I'm capable of when forced into a servival situation the closest I've ever been in was katrina and being in the area I'm in I'm not sure that would even count seeing as how there were other people out willing to help us.

Think I could survive on a 24 pack of Miller Lite...
what would be fun would be to hire a Big time survival expert and make it a training session to improve skills...
It should be done on a super cold or a super hot day to simulate tough conditions...not on a pretty spring day

I would love to be in on this.
Between work & family needs my schedule is going to be tight, but I'll try.
I think this is a great idea.

We camp a bit and the state parks have a primitive area. No guns but I think we could do the survival part ok. From building fires from flints to map reading, leather work and reloading. Check out each others gear for survival and see what we want and don't want.
I'm fine with any place myself however, a central place would get people from the coast to Tupelo.

Tombigbee sounds good to me, need to get a date since many of us are working or on call. I like 'Neck's idea about getting an expert to come in there. We throw in $20 each, that should get us someone to come out if as many people who say they'll come do. Just get it a list of what kind he plans to give classes on and how he gives them, classroom or hands on.
