I’m located in Southeast Portland Oregon.
I don’t have a car, or a license presently. I may try to get one before CFT, but I’m not sure if my budget between now and CFT will be able to fit it.
Honestly I’m still figuring out if I can do this, I’ve not really gone camping before beyond staying in a yurt last year, and I only have a couple friends who have done CFT or will be going. I dont have a tent, but I have miscellaneous supplies ranging from lights, a battery pack, camping chair… I’m gonna have to check the recommended supplies list again.
ideally I’d like to ‘do it up big’ and go all out as I can. I’d also just like to go to CFT at all.
I’m happy to bring art supplies, try to arrange an art event maybe, and otherwise try to be present.
I’m hoping to be part of the volunteer team.
Welp it seems I didnt get a raffle slot.
If anyone reading this has an open +1 and would like to help me attend my first CFT, I’d greatly appreciate it!!
I was planning to join the volunteer team if I get through the raffle process, and that’ll remain the same whether I get to be a +1, or if I get through the waitlist.
I’d still love to coordinate rideshare, and otherwise try to figure out what I can help provide.
Here’s a loose estimate of stuff I know I can bring
- A couple tarps (varied sizes)
- A (I think it’s 300 watt hour, enough for 24 hours?) battery pack
- A couple lights (1 solar charged or usb charged, 1 battery powered)
- A Donabe Pot (clay japanese pot). it isn’t huge, but we could make something fun with it 8D
- Stimtoys of varying sorts
- A whole lotta dice! And a bunch of pens!
- A bit of candies to share, yay sugar!
- My DS, 3DS, maybe my switch, general game collection
- MANY batteries for devices (AA, AAA, and I think watch batteries too)
- Various instruments! Due to the dust I’m not sure yet which I’d be able to bring, but I know there’s at least one melodica and an eerily tuned lap harp I could bring for suresies. Oh, and the otomatone.
- Various towels
- I need to figure out how it works, but I came into a small karaoke machine a bit ago
- I also have three usb hdmi bluetooth projectors that may be useful.
- tea! I’m a big fan of tea! I dont quite have a teapot, and idk if I should bring the borosilicate teapot out to the high desert, buuuut I have tea!
- I’ll be updating this with whatever I find in the supply bag I have stored away.
Stuff I can make
- Are you a fan of Kombucha? I homebrew! my signature flavor is Lemonbalm Raspberry Rosehip, and with the addition of rosemary it goes from refreshing to refreshingly woodsy! What I’m saying is: I could brew in advance for CFT a bit of kombucha. Could probably do a gallon or two of a flavor we negotiate, and then my standard.
- Do you like herbs? I have a vintage dehydrator. With a little planning I could dehydrate a fair bit of rosemary, sage, mint, lemonbalm, lavender if I catch it timing-wise, and oregano. If you know anyone near me, whether they’re going or not, I’d gladly exchange drying herbs for them. This works with fruit, and I think meat too?
- I make kandi bracelets! I could make matching bracelets or maybe cuffs for those I camp with.
- I have a number of poptabs still usable for Poptab Chainmail. I’ll probably put this into the trading post along with the other stuff I can make, but we might be able to work something out.
- I like cooking food a fair bit. I can make a nice nacho gnocchi dish, or a smoked goat gouda mac. I can also make a really fun purple udon. I’ll maybe post pictures of these here soon.
- I think there’s garden space where I live, so I’ll probably try to start growing some stuff
- Oh, what’s this below??
Stuff that’s befitting the 21+ Guidelines
- I’m 420 friendly. I dont drink more than seasonally and don’t do it alone either. I like edibles, and I think the states of consciousness our shared physiology is capable of is delightful.
- I can bring some kinky toys. I’m gonna be avoiding bringing silicone stuff if I can help it due to the dust, unless I get advice on how to care for stuff. Otherwise? I’ve got impact toys I can bring, and other kinky things. we have a fetlife, you can ask for that in the telegram chat. we have some of our toys uploaded to the gallery on that site.
- Might be able to make an impact toy or two, or at least have made reliable ones to gift and loan.
I’ll probably mirror some of this post for a trading category thread in a little bit.
If you’re interested in discussing or planning, reply, or reach me on telegram (I’m in the groupchat, and I’m available as @ MeridianAurate on there)
You can have a ride with me down and up if you get your +1. @RavynRiasha on telegram.
