Dennis, it's never that nice lol

It'll be interesting seeing how many drop out... it'll be pretty interesting if everyone actually shows up. Should be a riot either way.

When I see a crowd that big camping in the desert I know I need to drive another ten miles deeper.

Is there a list of stuff we need volunteers for people to bring, other than everyone bring whatever they need to camp for a weekend.

Mostly it's a fend for yourself atmosphere. The biggest thing we depend on others for is chainsaws. Gathering firewood is a group task. If it's looking like rain, tarps and popups are also nice as a somewhat communal thing.

Basically bring everything you think you'll need and a little more. We help each other out, but if you aren't prepared we'll make a spit and put you over the campfire... or just leave you for the fugawi, you'd probably prefer the spit though. :mrgreen:
