My MAIN reason for going to a rendezvous is to put the lead ball on the target! Everything else is extra stuff. Although at the last event I was at I was selling off a bunch of un-needed stuff,(I did buy a 20X20 Marquie with a covered "porch"(what the heck was I thinkin'?),I have it down to what I need to be comfortable for up to 7 day's. The one thing I WONT give up is my bed!
I have a wooden take down twin size frame that hold's a top shelf posture-pedic mattress. I once shot a match in my "Pack in" day's,if it didn't fit in my pack basket,it didnt go,and I was competeing agains guy's who stayed at a hotel the night before in a big comfy bed,while I spent the night with EVERY lump and bump that was on that rock hard ground and creepy crawley there was!
The next on the chopping block was my kitchen. I carried enough crap to cook a meal for an army,and supply them. now just what is neccasary to feed me and the girl's(Magg's and Bella) for the weekend. Intant coffee,instant oatmeal and cream of wheat and such at most shoot's. At the juried AMM event's it's quite different,that's back to my basic "Pack in" day's! At least there EVERYONE is on the same playing feild!
