JP, do we need to bring fire rings if we are camping outdoors?

[Headshot 5]

Will we be allowed to build fires to cook food or is there a burn ban in effect?

Yes, with a fire ring -- HOWEVER the county might be under a burn ban so be prepared either way.

[Chase 30]

According to the Oklahoma Forestry Services, as of April 4,2016, the current county burn bans are only in the panhandle.

Just cause there is no burn ban doesn't mean people shouldn't exercise extreme caution. It's been red flag Fire dangers for the past few weeks because we are in the middle of fire season here and it hasn't been very forgiving on us volunteer fireman.

Soooo...

No setting cars on fire this time?

[Chase 30]

People should exercise extreme caution with fire regardless of where they are, and what the fire dangers are for that area.

 

We shouldnt be setting cars on fire regardless. This AO isnt some free place we can go to destroy whatever we want. American Milsim has to pay to use these locations for us to have an amazing time in. The least we can do is respect that and have some self discipline.

My group is wanting to camp outside but were a little concerned the the forecast of "strong storms." Would it be possible to camp out in the open field to the south of the school, so in the event of severe weather (hail, heavy lightning, tornadoes, etc.), we can take shelter? I don't care about torrential ran, but being blown away and struck by lightning aren't high on my to do list.

Well, there is a whole AO full of shelters. lol In case of too extreme conditions while hanging in my hammock, im headed for the camper in the center of the AO!

Guys, I promise you that in the event of any strong storms, the AMS staff will make sure everyone is secure...and I speak from experience during the strong storms and torrential downpour we had Saturday night at Broken Home 4.

 

But, in the event of hail, and basically anything short of a tornado, my tent can withstand just about anything (Military Issue) and is weather proof.  Find us and we can make some room for anyone wanting to escape some hail...even UFS guys...

 

 

 

This is what my tent looks like...except mine usually has a CoST flag hanging out front.

 

EDIT: This is a Bring Your Own Beer shelter
