Title: New Hunting camp
Post by: Dave Bowers on February 16, 2013, 07:25:00 PM
Finally got got out into the woods today. With work and more work around the house there just wasn't time.
So I did a long distance recon this afternoon. Found a really nice looking area and decided..."This is it"
So I put a claim stick in the ground and started building    :knothead:

Dave - thanks for posting, looks good.

Jack - don't worry about the snow - two weeks ago I made a 3 foot wall of snow to block the wind, built a nice fire and cooked a nice rabbit - it was a good Sunday.

Somebody's been watching too much Dual Survival, way too much, LOL!  If I slept in that, I'd better have a chiropractor on speed dial.   I'd probably blow out a knee just crawling in it.  Just kidding, enjoy your youth, for it too shall pass.

Old school for sure!  Enjoy! I'd need a chiropractor after one night spent too.

Already in the works Roger, that fire was just there that day during the build. I'll be making an actual pit on the next visit.
