It would be nice to carry a side arm while bow hunting, but in Canadian laws, we're not allowed 🚫. He had a big ass bowie knife, which he broke the handle off...on that trip.
Hey Ken, We have the 14 x 17.5 with a 5 ft awning. This year, we have 5 hunters staying in the tent. It does work, but there is no room for a table. The stove is great, lasts mostly the whole night and it's fairly lightweight. Where are you hunting out of? Our camp is in Northern Alberta
We usually go for 7 - 10 days. I'll tell you, it's a ton of work, but well worth it. Can't go hard, hiking all day, every day, for over a week, like we used to...its nice to have those camp comforts.
I'm back lost everyone when my computer crashed new lap top from Santa. muskrats can bite Lol just like fish Hug your Dad what a trooper ice is so clear good to see you again checking now to see what I've missed CYU
I REALIZE YOU ARE LIMITED BECAUSE YOU BOAT IN. I would buy an assortment of spring steel paper clips at Walmart office supply section. Use anywhere you need a small inexpensive clamp. They hold extremely well, even in wind. I would enclose your kitchen area with plastic tarps or clear plastic and hold in place with the paper clips. Same thing for your tent vestibule to keep out wind, rain and snow. I say clear plastic so you don't need a lantern but tarps may pack easier and go up better. I would make a frame enclosure for your privy out of birch or 2 X 4s and enclose in plastic with a clear plastic roof. Clip in place or staple together. These are all things we have done in our camp.
Thanks for the tips, we have had snow there before but we are so far in the bush that there is very little or no wind. We'll have to try that for the cook tent...thanks for the comment
Yeah, we do have a good yeti cooler. Our meals are all pre frozen and usually still a block of ice by the end of the week. But yes the Yeti coolers are a lot more durable ...
Yeah, for the first 6 years we hunted with the rifle, still pretty green but managed to harvest 4 bull elk and a black bear. The last 4 years has been strictly bow hunting, and harvested 2 bull moose and a bear. Really just been getting into the videos the last couple years. But here are the videos from our success. Thanks for the comment ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5ldKNdW2cY.htmlsi=I1Cr1TnT5QugQg0Q
Thanks Rick, yeah that was our old tent poles from years past. This Year we built a cable system with pulleys. You're a year behind on your Lardner outdoor videos....😄
