I am pretty sure everyone brings their on supplies and everyone chips in to help anyone that needs help.Some of the gear could be shared if you don't have a tree or bench.Did you check out the web site.Kip

Same problem I've run into Ian.  Unfortunately I haven't come across any osage in the swamps around here.  I was going to order one from someone and plan on attending the LTB Primitive event for help getting started.
