Below are various photos from the Frontiersman
Camping Fellowship Winter Outing held at Englewood
Assembly in historic Independence, Missouri.
Daniel Boone Chapter members of Englewood Assembly
did an awesome job hosting this year’s event which
featured a magnificent Frontiersman Lodge crafted
inside their church. Wildlife, pelts, traps, rifles,
lanterns, artwork and just about every other type of
frontier accouterment palisades the log cabin walls
which are gently warmed by a stone fireplace guarded
by a large trophy Elk. Young bucks and old timers
alike enjoyed the board games, Deaver paintings, and
beadwork as a large LCD displayed a well produced
video describing the life of the long rifleman.
Needless to say, everyone marveled at the immense
amount of frontier skill, craftsmanship and labor on
display.
Many young Rangers were introduced to the FCF for
the first time, learning to build all types of
crafts including throwing knives, lanterns and
leatherwork. David Perkins entertained all with his
fanciful guitar playing and artfully etched glass
for lanterns and other projects. (Thanks Dave!)
Jim “Two Crows” Allen regaled us with tales from the
1832 Pierre’s Hole Rendezvous (the best attended
rendezvous) when Thomas Fitzpatrick, William
Sublette and Robert Campbell gathered long ago just
down the road in Independence, Missouri. These three
left Independence in May of 1832 with a supply train
of 35 men, supplies and 300 head of livestock. Go to
this
website to find out what happened!
Hats off to Keith Prince, Jerry Haines, Fred
Lipowicz and everyone else who contributed to a
great event, long to be remembered.
in His service,
