point. .
All kinds frontiersman skills were taught, exercised and then tested. The
Applicants went through various courses. Trappers Brigade, Flint n Steel, Knife

skills that EVERY PERSON should get a chance to do. We just had a great time.
Many campfires around camp with all kinds of cooking and sharing and encouraging
one another. Good stuff happens around these campfires.
