                                                Camp Safety & Concerns:

Dear Participants,
       The following Safety issues and concerns have been drafted so that everyone knows and is aware of "special considerations" that we all need to abide by for the welfare of all when attending the 2010-MW Rendezvous.  Please read and discuss these issues with all the members of your camp.  The "Dog Soldiers" have been instructed to pay special attentions to these issues and will enforce compliance.

Fire Concerns:
       The area we are encamped on historically was known as "Beaver Flats" and was used as a rendezvous area from the earliest Fur Trade era.  UNFORTTUNATELY, deep underground there is a considerable amount of Peat-moss and if that were to catch fire it would burn for months,  Therefore be very careful with all camp fires and please have close at hand a 5 gallon quantify of water that could  be used to extinguish fires that get out of hand.  Excessively large Camp fires will not be allowed and fires unattended will be extinguished by our Dog Soldiers.  
Please lets all be very careful with our camp fires!

Open Food and Garbage:
       This area of the U.P. is known to have Bears  which roam freely, so please be careful about leaving food left open and allowing Garbage to accumulate around your camp.  Generally, Bears are more afraid of us the we are of them but once a Bear becomes use to eating human food and/or Garbage they can become very persistent and obstinate about giving up such free meals.
Never allow yourself to get between a mother Bear and her youth - if you do you could suffer greatly for doing so!  Remember the Bears are full-time hunters and we are only visitors to their realm - if you try to argue with them you are most likely to loose!

Note: Garbage will be collected each day (@7:00PM) and will be taken from camp - please do not allow an excessive quantity of garbage to accumulate in your camp.   

Fire Arms in Camp:
        There will be undoubtedly many "shooting-guns" in camp, and our carrying of them to the shooting range is the likely time when unsafe behaviors will most likely occur.  Please be extra careful when you carry any fire-arm to the range - remember you are setting an example for others (usually our youth) and we want them to learn the right way and develop positive attitudes and habits about safe fire-arm usage!  NO fire-arm will be discharged expect in  an appropriately designate area.  

Sharp Edged Weapons and Tools:
       All Hawks and Knifes when being carried through camp must have a leather cover on them.
Axes and other Sharp edged tools should be put away when not in use and never left out in the open where untrained youth may miss-handle them.  Lets all try to set a good example for our youth that such items are tools and need to be utilized with respect and in a responsible manner.
