Washjam 2016 was a regional jamboree held at Joint Base Lewis-Mcchord in August. Over 5000 attendees from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Canada, including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American Heritage Girls, and Campfire.
Cascade Mountain Men (Issaquah, Washington) and Green River Mountain Men (Ravensdale, Washington) setup a mountain man camp. This was a great chance to reach out to youth and promote our passion for reenacting.
GRMM under the leadership of Dwayne set up a base camp with all the accoutrements. His father had a large drum which attracted the cub scouts.
Harry of CMM set up his traveling museum featuring early 1800's items and a set of firearms covering 500 years of firearm ignition systems. I set up as a Hudson's Bay Trader, teaching how to turn cattail leaves into string and how to survive in the wilderness.
I'll be posting pictures in the picture section. More pictures can be found on Facebook under Washjam 2016.
