Old guy camping

[Phil Coffins]

Having camped with no tent, lean to, tee pee, wall tent in good and bad weather I have my camping refined to this. Dropped the logs and notched them to stack up a place to spend some time in. A buddy allowed me to build it on his land and use it as much as I want. I have no ownership so no worry’s on what becomes of it when I have no need of it.

your a lucky man, with good buds

 

[Bnewberry]

That is a sweet setup

 

[yellowhammer]

Very cool, indeed.

 

[Boomerang]

Nice!

 

[jd45]

Awesome. I'd feel at home in that cabin.

We even get visitors from time to time.

A nice rifle, a few good books and a beverage, and a comfortable chair by a wood stove is all an older and wiser man needs in this world.

 

[ChuckJonesWagon]

Wanna come to Pa and do another?

So, no mice, then?

Don't forget the nice kitty! I hear they like a nice warm spot by the fire.

Doing this work at 65 was tough, at 75 I’ll be passing on that opportunity!

Very nice, I can just imagine how much work that was even at any age.

Nice place I'd like to have a cabin like that

 

[Dusty_Traveler]

Most excellent.

 

[Whitworth]

That's a really nice cabin, quite the man cave and place for a man to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Nothing like living surrounded by nature, I hope God let's me die at my home in the woods.

 

[VA Hawken]

Now that's a nice cabin and a place to sit and contemplate nature. You're a lucky man!

Nice camp! I’ve been in all of the aforementioned camps as well and still do the horse with a small lean to. Don’t mine being cold but I don’t like being wet and it rains a lot in Alaska. Then there’s the bear factor. Sleep light and maintain a clean camp. Kind of like the mountain men back in the day. Stop before dark, build a small fire and cook dinner. Then move a couple miles to set up camp.

That's setting the bar pretty high. I'm presently scheming on recreating Thoreau's Walden cabin on a trailer frame, and figuring out what pond to park it by when I have the time to rusticate properly. The engineering puzzle is to build an open hearth that can survive a road trip. Right now a welded steel fire place that is filled with gravel as a removable thermal mass is winning.

Phil,
WTG! I didn't see a pic of your heat source. Gotta show us that.

I am quite envious. You're a lucky man.
