« on: August 31, 2011, 09:49:05 AM »
Not sure if this has been done this year. With the season just about a week away and everyones anticipation rising, lets see pics or even a list of the things that you will be bringing to elk camp this year. Just to get everyone excited for the season. i would start but i am just a tag along this year and just bringing the abvious items needed for hunting, the other hunters in my camp are bringing everything.

Looks like we have the same trailer!  Nothing better than taking a shower (hot for once), watching a movie on the TV, or better yet reviewing the video of the hunt!  Oh wait is it really 80+ degrees... kick on the AC!  LOL  Not sure I like it better than the wall tent, but it sure does make it easier.

Ya im debaiting on buliding a lil platform to set my tent on but way its lookin its gonna be a warm elk season, sunny  :o

 
I was gonna bring the wood stove for the tent to cook on and do my coffee on and dry out any boot so on and so fourth so my question would be should i still bring it?  Is it gonna be to hot to cook at night and coffe in the morn?  I made it my self prett fancy for a fifty gallon drum.  Is it burn ban on all fires, including wood stoves for the tent?  I made a spark arrestor with metal screen and stove pipe top, will i get fined by the man.

Pretty sure, but not positive that if there is a burn ban, that is on all wood burning appliances, camp fire, burn barrel, wood stove, arrestor or not.

I am thinking of creative ways to build this years crapper.  This will be year five and we have had some pretty fancy models.  We burn it up each year at the end of the hunt because nobody wants to haul the thing back home. . . go figure :dunno:   We have had TP holders, magazine racks, and one model with handles!   :chuckle:

I know that place, nice place. Did you get in last year with all the snow?
We were just up that way finding landing zones for for the fire dept to land Life Flight if ever needed.

Oh yes, there are so many amazing contraptions up in the hills.  One of the best and easiest methods:  chunk of corrugated culvert piping, with a toilet seat on top.  Not burnable*

Attached is a picture of our 2010 camp.  Very comfortable but not very mobile and hard to haul it in and out.  This year will be a new Montana Canvas Wall Tent! :tup: I will post pics after the season!

Haven't tried that yet, a plastic 5 gallon bucket with a plastic toilet seat glued to the bottom worked great!  By the way, with enough heat that corrugated piping will melt, LOL.

Haha the 5 gal bucket is along the same lines.  Of course the corrugated piping would burn :chuckle:, just the black smoke it lets off is toxic stuff and shouldn't be burned.
