    Oh my gosh, can’t believe I left out the pot-luck and Barter-town. On Sat night, bring your A game when it comes to cooking, because there is a pot luck. Fill some bellies full of delicious camp-fire food and you could become an instant legend. Disappoint and you could gain yourself a nickname of shame, like…”Jamie Olvier” (emotional damaaaage). Seriously, they do tend to put out a really good spread. After dinner, we set up Barter-town; no money involved, just trading and bartering. If you have items for trade; literally anything legal goes, bring them. We’ll horse trade and haggle for an hour or so, until it gets too dark, or the camp fire circle is about to start. You would be amazed at what you can walk away with. We’ve got a barter-town haul video on our YT channel, if you want to check it out.

    The last thing, I promise, is to advise bringing wet weather gear, chances are if you are out there long enough, you will get rained on at some point. Ask some of the old timers at the Festival about the spring event we did at Pomme de Terre for same good story telling about being prepared for rain.
