4 Letter frm the Bshway Waugh Pilgrims and Prk Eaters! Be Alert n the Trail What is a Rendezvus and why were they imprtant t the settlement f the west? This was a questin that I heard ften at the last Rendezvus. Fllwing the Luisiana Purchase in 1803 and the Lewis and Clark expeditin in the western lands remained largely unexplred. Canadian fur traders and Muntain Men in search f beaver and ther pelts became the majr explrers f Nrth America. Muntain Men were a majr factr in determining the bundaries f the United States, especially the Pacific Nrthwest. Fur traders frm the Muntain Man-Indian Fur Trade era nt nly discvered the Oregn and Califrnia trails, they became the guides fr America's western expansin and migratins ver the Oregn and Califrnia trails. In 1847, Brigham Yung cunseled with Jim Bridger abut the Great Salt Lake Valley that Bridger had visited in Muntain Men learned t live ff the land, making, trading, r taking what they needed t sustain life and cntinue trapping. In the summer, trading cmpanies frm the east rendezvused with the trappers n the western plains in large pen lush valleys that culd supprt 1000s f trappers, Indians and their animals. The trappers sld their furs t acquire the mney, supplies and tls they needed. The trading cmpanies then returned t St. Luis t sell the pelts and furs that mainly went t England t supprt the beaver hat industry. The trip fr the trading cmpanies tk abut 3 mnths each way! This was ften the nly time each year that the trappers gt t see their fellw trappers and see wh had survived anther year. Being gregarius and having giant egs, there was much celebrating and cmpetitin between the Muntain Men. Frm 1825 t 1840 the Rendezvus were predminantly held in Wyming (11), but als in Utah (3) and Idah (1). Places like Cve and Sweet Lake Utah; Burnt Frk and Lander and Wind River and Green River and Ham's Frk Wyming; and Pierre's Hle Idah, The price fr beaver pelts fell frm $4.50 per pund in 1832 t $2.50 per pund in 1840 at the last Rendezvus. At the same time the price fr buffal rbes dubled in value. Thus the beaver trapping era slwed significantly as there was mre mney in buffal hides. The Muntain Men had t adapt t this ecnmic change and use their skills fr ther purpses. Many f the MM went n t served as military scuts, r guiding westward bund wagn trains, r n surveying expeditins in the west. They were determined t remain free and independent and had the curage and grit t face any bstacle. Muntain men had a shrt life expectancy. James O. Pattie dcuments in his Persnal Narrative that f the 116 men that set ut frm St. Luis in 1824 all but 16 died within 3 years. They met their demise frm diseases, fatal ball r arrw wunds, grizzly bears, wlves, accidents, expsure in severe cld weather, dehydratin, etc. Many f the Muntain men exhibited extreme grit and will t live. Even after a hrrible mauling frm a bear, Jedediah Smith helped stitch his scalp and ear back n his head. Others wuld survive if their wunds were nt infected. Hugh Glass wh was left fr dead then crawled abut 100 miles back t civilizatin with laceratins and brken bnes frm a "Griz" attack. They needed t "be alert n the trail" at all times since danger was everywhere. This desn't sund like the challenges that yung men face tday. Yur challenges are very different but nne the less culd easily claim yur lives, suls, r futures. We live in dangerus times. The adversary is very strng and determined t take dwn as many suls as pssible. It is nt enugh t survive by being resurceful and self reliant. We must "be alert n the trail" thrugh life. The adversary has presented us with pprtunities t be cmplacent, have lts f free time, cnveniences t make ur lives simpler, distractins that are f questinable value fr all the time spent, needing t knw what is in it fr me befre I will help anther, devaluing life, dulling ur senses f what is immral, breaking up the family as the basic building blck f sciety, taking away the will t wrk hard t prvide fr yurself/family, the need fr instant self gratificatin, the lack f respect fr thers, having unrealistic expectatins frm life, being dependant n drugs and alchl, nt having hpe fr the future, etc. But fllwing this path nly leads t unhappiness and destructin. We have been taught t make gd chices. As we keep ur cvenants with the Lrd, hnr and bey ur parents, live the Scut Oath and Law, we can easily adapt t ur surrundings by keeping ur standards high. We have been cunseled that happiness cmes frm beying Gd's laws nt Satan's enticements. Daniel Bne's Mtt was: "... be always sure yu're right then g ahead". Chse the right path, cling t the irn rd, and set yur sights n returning t yur Heavenly Father. Cme be part f the magic that is Rendezvus. Jin us at Camp Gernim March 19-21, 2015 fr the Mesa District Varsity Mglln Rendezvus. Yu will be making histry. Learn new skills that were required in the 1830s. Yu and yur team will grw substantially frm yur regalia preparatin. Cme prepared t match yur skills in muzzle lading, archery, knife/hawk thrwing, saw bucking, mule packing, flint & steel fire starting, etc with yur fellw Muntain Men. Wear yur best regalia as yu attend ne f the greatest Rendezvus' in the cuntry. I cannt wait t meet yu there and see yur transitin frm "flatlander" t Muntain Man!!

7 Attend if pssible and check ut Trader s Rw. Yu will als find a gd amunt f rendezvus infrmatin at n the rendezvus page. Make Regalia Wrk as a team t make shirts, pants, mccasins, canteens, pssible bags, medicine puches, pwder hrns, knives, sheaths, scabbards, hawks, beads, stls r ther muntain man gear. This will give an pprtunity t utilize yur muntain man regalia and t lk plew prime as a team at the rendezvus. Althugh it is nt necessary that patterns and clrs f the regalia match, fr the purpse f using the regalia as a unifrm, it is necessary that all bys in a unit have the same items shirts, pants, captes, and hats. Additinal items culd add sme extra pints. Regalia is the unifrm fr this activity and will add pints t thse given fr participatin in the ther activities. (See Resurce Dcument fr mre infrmatin abut specific items and fr patterns). Make Trading Items Wrk as a team r in small grups t make muntain man items fr the trading blanket. This will allw yur team members t trade fr ther items that yu may nt have had time t make. Find what yu are gd at making and make several f them f gd quality t trade. The mre yu put int making an item the mre it is wrth n the trading blanket. Build Teamwrk Wrk tgether t build teamwrk within yur team. Yur success in the Clter Run and many ther rendezvus activities rely heavily n teamwrk. Use C.O.P.E. and Team Building exercises in yur team prgram t accmplish this. Build a Service Attitude We will nce again be lking fr teams that demnstrate Live the Oath, Obey the Law (LTO- OTL) in service, spirit and deed. Instilling a general attitude f service and excellence in yur team will help them t succeed. Lk fr pprtunities at the rendezvus t g abve and beynd what is expected. Vehicle Preparatin Transprtatin fr scut utings is very imprtant. The BSA is very much aware f the special needs fr travel. Being safe is f utmst imprtance. Please make sure there is adequate space fr all passengers in the vehicles yu will use fr transprtatin t and frm the rendezvus. Dn't cunt a place fr a rider unless an peratinal seat belt is available. Remember! Cunt the vehicles yu need by the number f seat belts available in the vehicle. Bring as few vehicles int camp as pssible as parking is limited. Having vehicles that drp yu ff and return t pick yu up may be a significant advantage. Vehicle safety is als imprtant. Please take time t review the Mtr Vehicle Checklist fr each f the vehicles transprting yuth. The Mtr Vehicle Checklist is fund in the Frms sectin f the guide. Persnal/Team Camping Gear During March the weather can get rather chilly in the evening and night hurs. Smetimes it will be clse t freezing in these higher elevatins.

A sample persnal and a team checklist is prvided in the Frms sectin f the Guide. Cmpass and GPS Units We strngly encurage teams t bring cmpasses and GPS s if pssible. There may be several pprtunities during the rendezvus where these devices will cme in rather handy.

If yu are interested in maps f the area, get the Tnt Natinal Frest map r USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle map that cvers the area named Kehl Ridge and Pine. Hike-in Scenari #1: Yu are fully registered and have yur packet. When yu arrive at Camp Gernim, yur equipment vehicle will pull ff t the right side f the rad and await permissin t start up the rad t yur campsite. Place yur campsite number (this is in yur packet) in the frnt windw s we knw when and where t send yu. Yur ther vehicles (with the Team Captain and yur registratin packet) will drive dwn the left side f the rad t the frnt gate where yu will be directed t ne f the parking areas depending n which side f camp yur campsite is n. The parking lcatin is lcated apprximately 0.5 t 1.0 miles frm the varius camp sites. There are clearly marked rads frm the parking area t the camp sites where yu are assigned t camp. Yu will park the vehicle, strap n yur backpacks & ther persnal gear and start up the rad t yur campsite. Yu will be met by the scribes fr final check-in. See "Registratin & Check-in" belw. Fllwing Check-In, hike directly t yur campsite where yu will stay and wait fr the arrival f yur equipment vehicle. Please be aware f vehicles traveling n the narrw rads and give them the right-f-way s they d nt lse mmentum cming uphill and becme stalled. If the rads are muddy, yu will be asked t help push stuck vehicles ging up the rads. Ideally, yu shuld arrive at yur campsite befre yur equipment vehicle arrives. Please help unlad any ther vehicles in yur campsite area s we can get all vehicles unladed within the 10 minute gal. Scenari #2: Yu are nt fully registered and d nt have yur Registratin packet. When yu arrive at Camp Gernim, all vehicles will pull ff t the right side f the rad. Immediately ntify ne f the "Rad Rvers" that yu DO NOT have yur registratin packet. They will infrm yu f what needs t be dne t cmplete Registratin fr admittance int the Rendezvus. See the Registratin & Check-In sectin belw especially the ntes abut the "Ugly Line". Once yur registratin is cmpleted, fllw the instructins in Scenari #1 abve. Equipment Unlading Each team will be limited t ne trailer nt lnger than 16 feet. The rad system at Camp Gernim is nt cnducive t the entry f multiple vehicles. It des nt circulate and return t the parking lt. The rads are nly ne way rads in many places and there are few places t turn arund a trailer. Thus the size limitatin. Once the equipment vehicle arrives at yur campsite, yu will have n mre 10 minutes t cmpletely unlad all the equipment nt the grund near yur equipment vehicle s the vehicle can turn arund and g back dwn the rad t the parking lt. Once it has gtten t the parking lt ther vehicles can g up the ne way rad.

Team campsites are set up and gruped by ADC and any cncerns regarding the assigned area shuld be taken t the ADC r his assistant. Sub camp lcatins will be included in yur registratin packets. ADCs will direct Teams t their specific camp site. The stake assignments are made based n the registratins cmpleted by the February Huddle. If teams register after that time the campsite assigned may be "tight" fr all the teams that will eventually attend. Mrale f the stry: register by February Huddle r run the risk f being cramped. Registratin & Check-In New this year: Yur unit will be assigned a check-in time starting at 7:30 (6:30 fr Gld Card teams). The gal is t distribute the arrival times s yu are nt stuck in the line int camp fr hurs. Each stake will have apprximately 8 arrival times fr their units staggered every 30 minutes. That will evenly distribute the equipment vehicles ging t the varius campsites and reduce the cngestin at each campsite. We ask that yu make every effrt t arrive at yur designated time slt.

(Nice, huh!) Shuld yu need t make adjustments such as adding bys r leaders, yu will need t take a bit lnger s that mney can be cllected and additinal frms and patches can be added t the packet. (Still nt t bad, right?) Finally, if yu have nt registered, yu get int the lng and tedius line and wait fr a packet t be built, yur infrmatin t be entered and mnies t be tendered. (We call this the Ugly Line.) Try t avid the Ugly Line. Unifrms As usual, emphasis n unifrms is a key part f the success f any Team and we encurage all Varsity Scuts and their Leaders t have a "class B unifrm" cnsisting f the fllwing minimum Muntain Man regalia: shirt, pants, hat, capte. All scuts and leaders shuld arrive in unifrm (regalia) and plan n wearing them fr apprpriate activities including all general assemblies (i.e. campfire, retreat, flag raising. etc.). Rendezvus "class B unifrms" include any number f "early American" cstumes. Muntain Man captes, drp sleeve shirts, frntier shirts, etc. help t add t the experience and prvide activities fr the mnths prir t the rendezvus. Patterns are available in the "Frntiersman" Varsity activity bk and in the resurces rendezvus bklet as well as ther places. Dn t be afraid t Ggle Muntain Man Regalia and ther terms n the internet. There will be a unifrm (regalia) inspectin statin setup in the Hiveran (headquarters) area and team regalia phts will be taken there and thrughut the activities f the Rendezvus. Each team is encuraged t present themselves at headquarters during the rendezvus activity time and have their unifrms r regalia scred. This activity will replace the unifrm inspectin prcess typically dne by the team captains at flag ceremny. A prtin f the pints awarded fr the Muntain Man activities will cme frm the regalia inspectin. Meals N meals will be prvided as part f the rendezvus.
