Swamper Campout April 23-25

[scubashawn123]

So far, I only have 2 people that have RSVP'ed on the underwater poker run Saturday.

I will set up to sign people up at 9 AM Saturday morning if there is more interest the morning of.

We have 2 sponsors that have provided prizes for the winners of the event.

I'll bring my "Texas Wok" ... a 22" cast-iron disc, with a "King Cooker" propane burner, and cooking utensils. This can be used by one and all for communal cooking needs. Looks like this: Recipes

I can bring firewood if needed. Just let me know.

Please bring good burning firewood, we can always use more for those long cold nights.

I'll bring a good amount of wood. We all love a fire to stare at in the wee hours.

Why am I not surprised that an Air Farce guy has no camping gear? The only Service in the military that takes Samsonite on a deployment.

Just a little bit of ribbing from an Army guy.

Haha!

For what it's worth; just bought sleeping bag / tent / tarp / etc yesterday.

I'll figure it out. or just eat MREs.

Double post - stupid phone

I don't know if these posts are coinciding, http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/texas-swamp-divers/321251-swampers-dive-camp-weekend-anyone.html, but they're both active. Catch that post's last few entries for price details.

I think we were going to offer an HEB run to get some food to cook for the group for whoever pitches in, like $10 each for Fajitas and breakfast tacos. I'm in favor of smores.

As for exposure protection, I'm debating dry suit vs. 5 mm.

Samsonite? I had a green duffel in the Navy, the Air Farce guys had GOLF clubs.

I'm on the boat Saturday morning, and I will do some more diving on Saturday and be back out their Sunday, but I am not planning to camp out.

Heard from Scubaland today that Sunday April 25 is their "Spring Fling" at windy point. Not sure if this is bad timing on their part or ours: they're paying $15 pp for a day of diving / poker run / food & drink. Sound familiar? So beware of PADI-people wearing baby-blue tees >_<

What's wrong with this?

Didn't realize we had to RSVP for the poker run. Sure, i'll do it. I'm on the Saturday morning and Saturday night charters, so I should have time to register and grab some cards.
