BeckerWest Fall 2017 Gathering! November 10th, 11th, and 12th.


This will be the 13th 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.


"What should I bring?"

-Bacon
-Camp stove
-Food, drink, camp chairs for sure.
-Tent, hammock, or some form of shelter.
-Trade items if you want
-Bring some TP, there are no restrooms.
-Folding tables and pop-up canopies are always nice to have around.
-Knives, guns, and gear. Ear and eye protection.
-Bring whatever you need to spend two nights in the woods.
-More bacon



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

-Chopping
-Tomahawk throwing
-Shooting and/or Slingshot competition
-Fire making


Ideas for new challenges are welcomed, as are fresh ideas for the standard contests.



Rules: Petty simple...

1. -Absolutely NO guns and booze! If you're drinking, you're not packing.
2. -NO dogs!
3. -Take your trash home with you!

If you haven't attended a BeckerWest gathering, come on out! It's a lot of fun!
If you can't get the time off work, well... you might as well quit your job because you won't want to miss this!
Looking forward to seeing everyone. See you there!

I'm in fer shiz. Anybody down for Scotch tasting? Oh and think up a good toast.

And it should be said that I haven't been putting "BeckerWest" signs up on the property for a few gatherings now. If anyone new is coming I can paint Arrow's on the ground with upside down marking paint. Probably orange, or at least orange ish.
 
I'm in!

As of right now, I don't know if anybody will be accompanying me but I will update accordingly as soon as possible.

And Scotch tasting? Most definitely yes!

Just a heads up...
Dates changed to Nov. 10th-12th

Days are still good for me. I'm in!

I've got a mostly full bottle of McCallen 12yr double cask single malt. I'm sure I'll pick up something else too.

I'll bring a few myself. Some Laphroaig, some Balvenie, maybe some of my favorite Irish whiskies too.
 
Excellent idea Faler!
Good call on the Irish too Pàdruig. Those you had last time were fantastic!
 
wish I could afford the plane tickets....... :(
I love me some good single malt -- and Kraken....
 
I've gotta get in on the Scotch tasting.
And could probably put something together regarding centerfire handguns.
But it's not my Off Friday, and Jonny hates "Maybe"'s.
So, if I promise to get my 12 year old out of the house for 3-4 days, it just may be blessed by SWMBO.
Anybody else bringing the youts?
(I don't think the 2nd Siegle counts as youth anymore...)
 
I'm a maybe, with my new born coming and the knife show in exhibiting in southern California in Oct. My funds and time is pretty stretched out thin.
 
Just got the word from Abrasion. Instead of tomahawks, we can throw his Busse knife in competition. :D
 
I'm in! Don't know how many others but for now I'll just say myself. I may have up to 3 others :eek:

Apologies, I didn't see this until now. I am considering bringing my boy, he is 11 and could definitely use some time out of the house and away from the screens.
 
Bleh.... November is a long damn time away...
 
Well... as much as I really want to go. It looks like I won't be able to make it out. Baby will be a few weeks old and my wife will need help around the house and with the baby. Have fun guys, pass the capless bottle of whiskey for me a few times!
