Erik in black shirt and shorts holds on to the chain from the ground, looking up at Tonka, posing coyly with one foot cocked behind him, standing on a bright orange ladder, hanging the chain winch from the ceiling of a huge shaded pergola. Lots of green foliage surrounds the area and the swimming pool is in peeking from the distance.

Behind / before the scenes, we have fun getting camp ready for attendees. Here are Tonka and Erik getting the winch set up at the poolside dungeon.

If you haven’t been stomped by this one yet, have you even been stomped bro?

An action blurred man with red hair, glasses, and a substantial tattoo captured mid flogger stroke with someone in a leather, shirtless, bound to a Saint Andrew’s cross with leather restraints with back facing the camera. There’s a green fieldstone fireplace mantle in the background.

One of the many amenities you can expect at #GearUp Weekend. Nothing regulates body temp like a hard #flogging! #gay #kink #bdsm #dungeon

Guy in a purple black and white puppy mask. He’s laying in a sling and taking a selfie overlooking a daylight dungeon. Details aren’t specific as the scene is action blurred, but the dungeon is packed with lord of people in various scenes.

A sling with a view. #GearUpWeekend #PuppyPlay #kink #bdsm

Multiple ppl masc leaning ppl in a day lit dungeon in jockstraps, harnesses, puppy hats etc. Foreground is view of a guy from the back in shibari rope harness with arms bound behind back and one leg suspended. Behind that is a guy sitting on someone in duct tape mummification and edging them while another guy plays with the subs chest. Behind that a Dom kneels next to his sub on a spanking bench. Farthest away is someone singletailing or flogging a guy on a cross, while people scattered around watch.

Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment. See you at summer camp in July! #GearUpWeekend #BDSM #dungeon #Rope #shibari #bondage #DuctTape #mummification #edging #whipping #flogging #leather #kink
