I have attended Northern Illinois FCF events and feel very welcome there. I have a lot of the skills that are frontiersman skills and my gear and clothing is stuff I had acquired when I was doing only public rendezvous. I don't look down on a brother in Christ simply because he may be wearing old painters jeans and lacks the proper period attire, while I wear canvas drop front trousers and a cotton linen look shirt. My mocs are about worn through and I have found from experience that mocs don't do well in wet grass, so I wear some hard soled leather work boots in foul weather. No sense in getting sick over something as silly as looking authentic, especially since we are not at a public rendezvous where we are trying to show the public what frontiersmen were like. I usually hang out with some of the ones from my own outpost and at Territorial with my own chapter. Red Eagle and I are friends from a long way back and knew each other when we were kids. I prefer his company and his son and his friend but I don't limit myself to them. I get around and fellowship with Burning Bush and Split Finger even though I don't prefer to be a Voyageur. Burning Bush and I have a lot of things in common as far as I see. I enjoy the company of Helping Hands and Ole Eagle Eye as well as many others I can't think of at the moment. We are a salty lot! I don't have a muzzleloader YET, and I'm not that good at hawk throwing. I don't care as much for range activities but there is a number of other things I can do like carve wood when my hands allow and talk to other FCF guys about stuff or about life or about Jesus Christ. One of the things I get the most comments about is my companion Ralph who likes to walk himself and visit neighbors when I'm not looking. I try not to let him be a pest and if he is I will leave him home.
If you need a place to stay at rendezvous come around by Outpost One if you can find us. Most of the time I have room in my lodge and I feel that our hospitality is genuine.
BETTER LIKE GRITS and bean soup etc. Ralph will give you a warm welcome especially at night when the nights get cold. We may have some pilgrims needing lodging soon so I cannot guarantee.

Y'all,
Hey there I have few questions then I got to go. Told my dad
would send some e-mail that is why I am on the computer:). Few questions I
think. One is I got an e-mail was about to reply to it, but had to take off
to go to Wal-Mart with my mom. In the e-mail it said that someone said to
Fred Deaver that some on the net are complaing about the new
program-ministry. Then suggested we should call him up and let him know it
is a false rumour. I don't know how the e-mail went, however I was wondering
does Mr Fred Deaver have an e-mail addy? So we can let him know through
e-mail that no one is complaing about the new RR. We are either agreeing
with it or that we have questions depending what group you are in. Also my
question for those who been to FCF Rednezvou. I was wondering I belive that
the district are going to do the same as they did for Camporama go as group.
HOwever for those who go on their own and don't have an FCF Tent. Will where
they be? I ain't trying to start anything, I accept all opion on FCF tent.
HOwever I feel so many times majority FCF focus more on FCF stuff then
someone soul. See and I ain't picking on my IL Chapter. I know there maybe
some more out there and not all IL are this way. I been to 2 IL FCF Camp-Out
and that I felt not welcome for I didn't have the proper FCF stuff. I felt
that so many were focus more on what Josh and I had for the FCF Camp Out,
then what our soul is. Where our soul is with Jesus. I know so many are
saying well if you don't like it, then get out of FCF. I love FCF and I feel
it is the best ministry. HOwever I feel so many times we are focusing on
someone modern stuff then, how is your Christian Walk
