2019 Fall BeckerWest Gathering! November 15th, 16th, and 17th.


This will be the 17th get together here in the great Pacific NorthWest just outside of Eugene, OR.
Come one, come all! You need not be an official Beckerhead to attend.


What can you expect when you show up to BeckerWest?

There will be food, fire, strong drink, contests, and general merriment! Knives, guns, beards...you get the idea.
There hasn't been an age limit in the past. Just use your best judgment on bringing kids along.
Most of the attendees will not use a filter.

Friday- Guests arrive, folks hanging out, setting up camp, a lot of B.S.ing, a fun night around the camp.
Saturday- Big breakfasts, contests, lot's of food, usually not as rowdy as Friday night.
Sunday- Breakfast, camp clean up, trash is picked up, and everyone is usually out by Noon.

-Bacon
-Camp stove
-Food, drink, camp chairs for sure.

Contests will include,(but are not limited to):

How can I possibly turn down an offer like that?

 

[KingMC]

I’ll have a new job by then (hopefully), won’t know if I can get Friday off or not but I should be able to come down on Saturday.

 

[Bill Siegle]

Sounds like fun! I’ll bring my knife

Hell yes, come early Friday, there will be cookies.

 

[Tdhurl1103]

Is anyone planning to be there on Thursday? Or, will we be able to be there that early?

 

[FAL'ER]

I'd like to send you pm in regards to that but I've either forgotten how to PM or your account doesn't allow it. Or mine doesn't allow it.

 

[FAL'ER]

Also, I'm going to be bringing a small Item or two, to contribute to a giveaway pool of items. Jonny is gonna do the same. If any of you feel like you want to bring a small thing, a patch, poker chip, playing card, feel free to do so. No obligation.
