The 2026 Puckerbrush Primitive Gathering happened at Pleasant River Fish & Game Conservation Association. Nanoq Guide Services & Survival Training and Wandering Raven, Edge & Hide are always excited to be there!
Our crew arrived Thursday to try to help clear campsites and do maintenance on the property as a thank you to the amazing individuals making this happen event happen every year.
Memories were made and laughs were shared from the very beginning. A MicroCell storm arrived on the property when we pulled in. We waited an hour for the rain to let up. Then we had the kids grab their tents and tarps and we ran down to the camping area to try to establish our sleeping areas. You can imagine that all good plans fall apart despite your best effort. It would seem that the powers above wanted to test our resolve. The moment we opened up and began assembling the tents, the skies Unleashed torrents of rain and wind again. Every kid and every adult were soaked to the bone. Water dripping office like we were swimming.
"If it ain't raining we ain't training" - is all Levi and myself said as we laughed and laughed.
Day one the kids got to learn about setting up under stress, proper ways to ventilate after a storm, and how to efficiently dry things out. They did get to go swimming since it was warm rain and warm water all around.
The rest of the events and activities went off like clockwork. We had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones. The kids got to eat great food, cook things over the fire, play Manhunt at night among other things that kids should be allowed to do.
Now we are packing and prepping for Buckhorn Camps!
We can't do what we do without the donations and support of the local families and businesses that see the effort we put in and the positive impact it has on the kids. Please donate today to help us replenish our scholarship fund and refill the supplies we've used so that we can wrap the year in good shape and hit the ground running hard for 2027.
