A reasonably close facsimile to that song was my mom's favorite song!

Love that movie and the song.  Have you heard the album version of the song that has slight differences in the lyrics?  I just read what I didn't know before.  Johnny Horton died in a car crash shortly after the song was recorded.

We did that at a family reunion at our house. I forget the platform we used, (skype?) it wasn't youtube, but it was a long time before they thought of zoom. I made like a little theater area in the corner of the yard, hung a sheet on the side of the shop for a screen, got a video projector and camera, and we had folks checking in from all over the country. It gave them a chance to se the yard, and kids running around, etc.
 I still have that projector and could bring it if you like. Just have to check it out first.

We tried live cams in years past, but it was difficult. Its pretty easy now with youtube.

I wasn't aware of that feature on you tube. These days it seems like zoom is the thing, been using it a lot in the past year, just had a session on Wednesday. For non-business (free) users, they put an hour limit on it, but you can do multiple sessions. We did our family reunion last summer on zoom and had a family member with a commercial account so we could run for several hours.
 I can't keep up with the technology changes. It is neat though. I had a meeting last summer on zoom and I was milling that day and lost track of time, so I checked in with my phone from the mill through wifi. When they all saw the mill in the background I had to give them a tour of the setup. Who would have thought 10 years ago we would be doing stuff like that today?

Not the Pigroast but I scrolled down and saw this video of us taking a ride through some of my property a few years ago:

I would really like to attend this year but the border is still closed and the Nazis in charge have instituted draconian measures for people (citizens) who fly upon returning home. (Tucker Carlson did a piece on this)
If hings change I will be there

You might want to do a search on the forum on pigroasts and see what it is you are getting in to.  ;) I guess it depends on what you want to do with them, :D

Well, Jake Dean@customsawyer has a vivid imagination. 
He may be up for trying out a chainsaw to 'shred the pork'. 
Suggestion, put Mazola in the saw for chain lube first.  ;)

I looked for some pictures of the actual pig carving but I am always knee deep with a knife instead of a camera in my hand.

There is another forum that has chainsaw get togethers that are loud with lots of sawing, this isn't that. The pig-roast is more like a family reunion where you get to meet the forum family to share stories and food.

I have a chainsaw that will work great on pork.  and my buddy Jim got this cask filled the other day.  I will try to bring it as well.  lots of great folks.  some whole families and kid friendly.  alcohol consumed in moderation.  good games, conversation, and occasional music.

I just came back to check on this thread and see if I missed anything new. While it was on my mind I went and checked the site availability at Hidden Hill Campground and see that there are 8 reservations in the the big weekend so far.
 I can't wait until this comes together. Still holding out hope they will open the borders in time.

Thanks for reminding me that this is getting closer.  I'm looking forward to it very much.  I have little hope that they will open the border, but miracles happen.

Golly, as I plan the trip to attend the Pigroast, I can get a airplane ticket and lodging, but finding a rental car that doesn't cost more than the airfare is out of sight.

I could fly into Chicago or Detroit from Portland, however either way I would need a car to get to Clare and be able to travel to a hotel and back to the Pigroast for a couple of days along with side trips.  While getting a car generaly is not a problem, the agency's cut back their fleets months ago and have yet to restock.  It doesn't look good for this summer.

Not sure what I need to do.  I want to come but it is looking like a $1000 trip easily...?
