Everyone had so much fun last year when Clint Goodwin taught us how to make rope that we decided to offer it again. During this SMOS Adventure event, you will learn the basics of rope making and discover how you can use materials that may be found around your house. That’s right, this event will teach you how to make DIY (do it yourself) rope!
Join us this Saturday, March 10, from 9am to 11am at Bush Hawk Outdoors. The event is free but we welcome donations. In fact, if you do give us a generous gift Clint may allow you to walk away with one of his rope making tools.

The Paperman Biathlon is a short 10-mile bike ride along the beautiful Columbia River and a 2-mile run on a smooth dirt road. The event is very friendly for those who have never competed before and for those who like to crush their adversaries under their athletic boot.

Since our last SMOS Adventure, making animal traps and snares, was such a success we realized that cold weather and snow does not scare away our great SMOS members. If you are all willing to shrug off the winter weather then we are willing to offer you another SMOS Adventure. On December 10th, Gerhard Carlson will lead a group of people on a mile long hike out to his cabin where we will learn to make coal burned spoons.
