Title: My attempt at camo
Post by: Mudd on October 27, 2010, 01:12:00 PM
Here is my bowhunting camp on wheels. I've tried to be somewhat artistic and camo at the same time.

Thanks for looking.

Looks great Mudd. Only problem I see is coming back to camp after a hunt and not being able to find your camper.  :laughing:  That actually happened to me and my brother on a fishing trip. I had a tent that was dark brown. We drove by it half a dozen times before we found it. But that's probably just me.  :dunno:

looking good.  Probably blends in better than most pop up blinds.  Just park it in a good spot and open the door in the morning.  Take you r deer from bed.

I want to yank the doors off my Jeep and camo it.........but the fam aint into it.

Seeing as I might be getting laid off next month, better not redneck my ride just yet (might look bad depending on where I interview)    :)

That is neat.  Mudd is a artist.  How long is the trailer?  I like.

What trailer? Seriously though it looks good. What kind of trailer is it?

Nice job Mudd. You have the right idea using the feather and leaves as a stencil. I do all my camo work using a soild color base coat, flat green or a light grey. Then I use fresh cut ferns for a stencil. Using a flat black to over spray the ferns. It comes out very cool looking.

Ted Nugent bowhunts out of a cab over camper that has been permanently parked on the ground and they painted it pink camo. He kills a buck out of it every time he hunts that YO Ranch in Texas. I know.....it's a high fenced operation, but the point I'm trying to make is that Mudd may be onto something. Mudd, you should honestly park that thing near a deer trail and just kick the door open when it's time to hunt!

Good job buddy!   :thumbsup:

Mr. Mudd,
If you would not mind my asking, how much does the trailer weigh?
If not too much, might be able to tow one behind our Alaskan Mule.  Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
Best Wishes

Looks like a good hunting camp on wheels to me!

nice camo as well.
Title: Re: My attempt at camo
Post by: Mudd on October 30, 2010, 12:51:00 PM
I would guess it's between 500 and 600 lbs. I can tell you that it's like I don't have anything behind the Ranger.(4 cylinder)

God bless,Mudd

Mudd,

Thats pretty handy right therrr. Great job. How many does it sleep? I bet you can pick these up for a decent price.
Title: Re: My attempt at camo
Post by: Mudd on October 30, 2010, 03:58:00 PM
Unless it's my wife with me, it sleeps one...lol

It will sleep two after I get another door cut into the other side and put in a bundle board...lol

They are not as cheap as I thought they would or should be....lol
I got a deal on this one as it was made from scratch by my friend and fellow tradgang member Loyd Lippert.

Thanks again for the nice words.

God bless, Mudd

Mudd,

Nice little teardrop trailer you got there.  Also, cool decorations.

I can't see why more folks don't build more of these little old style campers for hunting and camping. Takes nothing to tow them and all you really need is a place to flop at night. Butt a colapsable canopy to the entry and you got a place to sit out of the rain.

I'm in the process of making one now. Got the axle and wheels....fixing to start on the frame. Your bud did a good job.

Typed that post and later remembered a book mark I saved from a teardrop trailer builder site.

This guy needed a portable hunting shack, on a budget. I think he built it for $250 and stuff he had laying around.  Not much to look at but serves him well on his hunting land.
