Post by: AWS on January 05, 2009, 03:24:05 PM: Sounds like my kind of guy. I lived in NW WI for three years in a tent. My brother in law comes out here every Jan. for a week of coyote hunting and camping out at Moses Lake. He likes hunting out there becuse it's so nice and warm in Jan., his idea of warm is 0 and above. I'm picking him up at the airport this friday.

Post by: AWS on January 05, 2009, 04:41:08 PM: I took a few years off and built my folks a retirement home near Spooner WI. I spent the summers working on the house and the winters running traplines, icefishing and hunting. I lived on $200 a month and the profits from my traplines.

The tent was a 9x12 outside frame wall tent with a wood stove in it, I even had a treddle sewing machine in it and sewed and mended my own cloths and took in some mending for the local bachlors.

It was a great life, but ended up deciding that I needed to put together a grubstake for the future. I call it my midlife retirement it lasted about 10yrs and the 3yrs were in the middle.

These crazy sobs are camping in like -40 degree weather lol up in Canada. Theres no way in h*#l Id be out in that cold but they seem to enjoy it. Something about making a mistake will kill you frozen solid dead is fun I guess. I have camped around freezing and a little below but thats it.

Post by: FrankDown on January 06, 2009, 03:32:28 PM: 5 is cold, -40 is real cold. Even at 5 degrees, dont know how long I could stay. Standing out in the snow taking a bath with a snowball dont seem like a lot of fun. I have though been considering camping inthe snow. I dont have a tent for it though. All I got is a small bivvy type that would likely cave in on me if it snowed much at all.
