Anyone planning to attend this at Grawes? September 17th & 18th. Plenty of camping available.
Lots of fun and info. I have circled two demos you don't want to miss. Both great sources of info outside the demo area. Plus Grawe himself can be very entertaining.
The bad news is that if your planning to attend you're 40 years too late and a lot of that info is gone.

RIP Ardell

Id go

Still have 2 of the Double 9 wire stake and support, that he sold.

R.I.P. Ardell

Those supports are all i used when i was a kid. Never knew where dad got em but they were fast. Still have a few

Trapper Days were a lot of fun and good demo's etc.RIP.

A time in the trapping world that those who weren't a part of can't comprehend.

I was there and man they were good times. At 19 I sucked it in like a sponge and spent many of campfires with Allan Drovedal and others over the years. I still remember how cold the nights were for mid September. Thanks for the memories

Wasn’t driving yet but talked my ma into driving out there for it, was something kids growing up nowadays just will never get to experience sadly

Got to see a demo by Ardell a while back and it was fantastic it was all about pinpointing location and sign, can’t king out of there I was still trying to digest everything he had talked about and was behind a couple of late teenagers and they were complaining about how he had shown any sets or how he made them

Felt like knocking their heads together for their stupidity, cause anyone can show how to make a set it’s not that hard, but getting it on location that’s the real art
