Great time! Enjoyed meeting some of you and seeing some of you again!

I'll begin scheming on what dumb thing I can do next year :flushed:failed hitch this year. Forgot to attach a pull down rope last year...

Thanks for showing me the timber hitch ( I think) @boyne bowhunter

@SaddleUpPartner! , you had them wings shirt on?

@Empostarr you had shorts, hat. We talked over by the x- wing and looked at the gear strap?

Pretty sure I have the rest of you down now lol
 
I wanted to share this here too. I know @DanO , @Andrew920 and pretty sure @MattMan81 was on the same tree when it happened. That hitch failure. I only fell/hopped down from like knee high so nothing really happened but safety first! I'm not captain safety, just hope everyone can learn and everyone stays safe

Friction Hitches

For easier sliding, you might be able to drop a wrap. Single braids fatten out and usually grab with fewer wraps. Another option is to tie it with the three wraps on top and then spin it on the rope 180 degrees and use the green dogbone tender.

As always it was a good time reconnecting with old friends and meeting new folks. Its nice to put a face to a forum screen name. I always enjoy these get togethers and always manage to take something useful away I hadn't considered or tried. Thanks @MattMan81 for organizing this again this year.

For the record @DanO, I'm blaming you for the rain since you rode the motorcycle today! :tearsofjoy: Seriously though thanks for bringing some sample saddles, I was impressed with my first exposure to the Wood Hunting Saddles. Very well made and comfortable!

You can thank @Horn for driving it. I almost didn't make it, but glade I got to stop by and say hello to everyone again. Wish I could have stayed longer.
@Coachschaller sorry I had to run there. If you ever want to try the DRT stuff I had there let me know. Sure we can find some little park around near by if there was something you wanted to try out.
Nice to hang out with you guys!

Maybe I'll actually take the torch next year, instead of just nudging you.

Thank you for taking the initiative @MattMan81. Without guys like you this sort of stuff wouldn't happen. I'll probably play incompetent and ask for advice next spring ;) :tearsofjoy:
It's fun. I definitely appreciate your work to build our community!

Not a problem... I have kids and a wife so I understand, no apology needed. It was great to meet you.

Forgot to hire/assign a photographer and the rest of us were too busy hanging from a tree to consider photos. :)

You'll have to take our word for it this year but we actually had several people in saddles (on horseback) ride through wondering what that bunch of dudes wearing diapers outside their clothes were doing there again.

I think there was someone taking pictures but I didn't catch his name. He was there before Wabasis, Jeff and I got there
