The more we look for the "comforts" in deer camp.

We have a concrete pad so our campfire has to be elevated. Our old one finally burnt up so I built this one. I thought some of the older guys, like Ron Lee Klare, would appreciate the "toe warmers"

looks good. I use the guts to a washing machine.  I welded chain together for legs and it stands off the ground about 18". I carry it to shoots in the summer and to the woods in the fall.

Your right, the older we get the more we look for comforts in camp. This is my comfort at ShrewHaven, an old Lazy Boy recliner next to the wood stove..... Lee Klare?    :confused:  did you flunk English in school?    :readit: ....   :biglaugh:
