Homebrew Trailcameras

[gkowen]

I am going to try this out for myself too. I have all the parts on order. Its going to be fun I think.

camera in hand...no yeti stuff yet. 

I hear ya with the snow. It is warming up here temporarily so hopefully some will melt. But snow is still forecast later next week. Will probably crust up the snow, not good.

Hope you all had a great holiday and here's to a great new year.

my camera will be here this week (W80), and not sure on the Yeticam order.  I have some yew that my bandsaw has been eyeballing all summer.  Between a selfbow and trailcam building, I may need to set up a cot in the garage

I got an email from yeti the other day, I emailed them to see if we could do a bulk order to save money (answered no) but he asked me what kind of board we were ordering, I copied the parts list and sent it to him.

[bow4elk]

any back-order issues?  I haven't received squat from them except my order confirmation number.  I have no idea if anything has shipped or not.

[Grizzly95]

I would email them if you can and let them know you are curious. I sent him the list of parts needed. I think he was confused as to which boards we were going to use. I have the email on my work computer. He said the only break would be combined shipping.

[Grizzly95]

Make sure you guys give me a little notice before we are gonna meet up, I will try to have some jerky or sausage smoked for the event.

I just got a shipping confirmation from Yeticam. My stuff is on the way.

[bigdave]

Yeticam order has been submitted and payment sent. We are on the way. And joy of all joys there was no new snow on the ground today!! It was just -2 degrees!! If its not one thing its another. Darn global warming!!

[bow4elk]

Al Gore is right - this global warming thing is a problem   .  I've not seen my lawn since 12/14 and I live in west Olympia.  My dogs are peeing on the deck now becuase they are so used to not finding any grass!!

[gkowen]

Now I am visualizing a yellow ice skating rink deck. 

[bigdave]

I just let my dog out. She is usually outside but during these really cold snaps (-8 last night and about 2 right now) she gets to stay in. She takes about three steps, pees and then comes back to the door....she does not like this cold, cold, weather.

We have two French Bulldogs, and as great as they are they are pretty much as "non-sporting" as you can get.  They are very low maintenance and super great with kids.  They have no concept of the world around them, except they feel pretty much entitled to be on your lap and snore like little truckers.  They play for 10 minutes and sleep for 2 hours, and generally love doing nothing.  Being a "lab" guy my whole life, these little buggers are a hoot.  I half-way sympathize with them peeing on the deck given the snow was nearly two feet deep for over a week.

  I e-mailed Mark Wilken at Yeticam tonight and explained about our plans for a homebrew workshop in Spokane later this month. I aslo sent him a link to this topic so he can see what is going on. I know he is busy and backed up in orders, so I asked how long we should expect to wait for shipment. As soon as a couple of guys have their cameras and Yeti parts, we can schedule this get together.
  I met Gramps today, and I showed him a W200 and the Yeti parts that I just received last week. He has his stuff on order also. He and I are planning on doing some predator hunting and setting trail cams together. I am starting my W200 and I will post pics as it goes along.

Got my camera from ebay, a W90 for $42.     Will order from Yeit in the next day or so.  Really looking for to meeting ewveryone.  More snow on the way tomorrow night     I spent three hours sweating my tail off the other day shoveling my roof,  whew that was rough work, but I feel much safer.  Lots of roofs are collapsing around the area.  Very scary.  The Airway Hirghts Wal-Mart is closed, their doors won't close properly, that takes alot of snow to press down to the point the doors won't work right!!!
