I just attended a small trad shoot where they have do a different style of trade blanket. The trade involved about 16 guys. They all sit in a circle around a blanket (tarp). One guy starts it off by laying an item or two on the blanket up for trade. Everyone takes turns laying down what they would offer for his item or you can pass on the trade. Once it gets back to the guy who laid down the original item he can look at all the offers and choose which one he wants to make a trade for. He can also decide to pull his item and no trade is made. It's a very organized and entertaining way of doing a trade blanket. I think it took us an hour and a half to complete it. There was a lot of teasing and joking among the guys. It's really a fun time. Some people brought lots of little stuff to trade and other people brought larger items like bows and guns. They don't limit the items to hunting stuff. There were tools, meat grinders, camo clothing, fishing stuff, and all different kinds of goodies. If you trade for an item you can turn around and trade it for something else. One guy officiates the trade to keep it running smoothly.
Would you guys want to give this a try at Marshall next year? I think the crowd we have would be a good size to do this kind of trade. We have plenty of time to start gathering up items or making stuff to trade. I bet we all have some hunting stuff and bow supplies that we probably won't ever use. Maybe you could trade it to someone else who might need it. Let me know what you guys think.
