Battlemoor 2019

Kerocaro/ August 23, 2019/ Events/ 0 comments

So this year was emotional. Less than 2 weeks before my Camp Mate and good friend from last year unexpectedly passed away. Left me trying to process her passing and unfortunately due to the timing dealing with the anniversary of others who had passed on top of it. Work got crazy leaving me drained and in need of a long vacation someplace with drinks sand and palm trees. Oh and I still had to pack, and try and keep the anxiety of taking my child and husband camping for the first time in check. More so after we got the notice that the creek was running high and children and adults were to stay away from it. Yeah. Emotional was a thing. Lucky I had taken Monday off to get

Kerocaro/ July 21, 2019/ Events, Food & Drink, Plans/ 0 comments

So last year I was on my own for food but this year with the Canton getting its feet back under itself it was decided that hey! let’s do a meal plan! So I being opportunistic to feed people took 1 lunch and 2 Dinner shifts. I now have to feed 11 (Probably more let’s face it feeding people is a thing). We have some allergies and sensitivities to deal with along with a toddler. Said toddler has been eating me out of house and home this week so we will see how game he is for eating not Dino Nuggets. I told his Aunt if he was to much of a pest we would send him a Viking to their kitchen. I was told any boffer axes and sugar

Battlemoor Prep-Food Part 1

One of the things I realized I needed to work on was food. More so when I said why yes I will cook 2 nights and a lunch for our meal plan. Last year I panned and packed a cooler-less meal plan. Something I get strange looks for. But I do hate watching ice and making sure the cold stays cold. For those interested, I took a photo of my food all prepped. From left to right, pre-made Coffee, extra tuna packet and back up mac and cheese(No clue how I planned to make it but I had it) Loaf of bread and beef jerky. The Tupperware has crackers, PB and applesauce. Then Gnocchi, behind that was shelled pumpkin seeds and Ginger. Under the Tuna and Gnocchi are containers of

Battlemoor Prep Part 1-Banners

With the Byers event over it is time to move on to Battlemoor prep. So looking over the list I had started back at the first of the year it boiled down to Tent Bedding Clothing Banners With the tent taken care of, bedding sorted and clothing being ignored as I am now clothing 2 additional people that left me with Banners. With silk banners being more work then I wanted to put forward until my device is ready I settled for a canvas banner with our Canton’s populace badge. I had started it back in May with the hope I could take it to Byers but after an afternoon of painting the border and the weekends escaping me I set it aside until last night. I ended up free

Prep for 2019 Battlemoor

Kerocaro/ December 12, 2018/ Events, Plans/ 0 comments

So with the 2019 dates being announced (July 8th-14th) and my PTO safely added to the calendar, it is time to really focus on Battlemoor 2019. This year is promising to be different for several reasons the first is my sister has agreed to come with me, and with that, we will be buying a tent. Our camp group is shaping up with different people and is looking more canton based this year! I am very excited about that as we have briefly talked about some communal dining space and we should hopefully have the ability to bring people who didn’t come last year. So were on earth do I start? Probably in our tent shopping. It sounds silly but I think I have spent more time looking at tents then any
