Hard to climb with a bullet in your forehead. 😊
The platform is 12’ to the floor, the platform is 8’x8’
Sounds like a place for a cot and a heater. I had a ground stand on a powerline ROW that was heated and had a recliner with a vibrator and a little table with a little propane stove to make coffee or whatever. I ran a 110 volts from the barn. Made a lot of deer jerky from that place. It was about 200 yds from a goose blind with little heat and no roof. I had a deal with the guy who guided out of that blind that he could use it in bad weather to "thaw out fingers" but it cost him a breast and some liver once in awhile. His dad owned several angus bulls that he rented out and we found beef on the porch too...great neighbors.
We’ve taken the Buddy heater up there in the evening in February and March. Had to open the door a bit. Too hot. There is a little table and a 4’x 2’ bench and 4 chairs. I think s few people go up there drinking. I put a sign on it , advice from my lawyer sister-in-law, Use At Your Own Risk. Covers my ass if someone drunk falls out. Haha
I confess...I have experienced a few of those mornings where you wake up and wonder why you have sore spots where they didn't exist the night before. I used to be a devotee to the Scottish/Irish tradition of frequenting public houses to late in the night...NO more but some memories are still vivid...nuff said
You could be a Cape Bretoner.
Skeeters are definitely done up here till about June. It was nice for 6 days at the camp. Not one even at night. Now house flies are another story. Don’t know where they all come from. The camp is pretty tight. 🤷🏻♂️
We got them almost year round December to March not so many. Sun setting on another day.
We have a lot when we do have them, especially at the camp. But funny thing, they don’t bother me. Or black flies. I might get bit but I don’t itch or get red. When my dad was a kid in Cape Breton, not far from my camp, him and his brother slept outside in hammocks underneath the trees. I think he got so many bites that it made him and me immune. Haha. The one thing that does get me is no- see-ems. Little buggers give me a welt. But gone fast.
That one was designed by the US Army Night Vision Lab at Ft Belvoir, VA as a prototype not cheap and not available to the public...except maybe now in Afghanistan provided with the compliments of State.
I’m sure every Talaban has a nice new rifle and night vision. 😊 Thanks Joe.
What a great experience!! I miss Alaska fly work but I still have my 9 and 10 weight outfits so going back is still in the cards.
39 fer mid 60's. Ferns went from green to gold to brown and spruce and fir are still green...Copilot brought home a crab apple tree yesterday...I'd rather just have crabs and mussels and clams and oysters and other bottom feeders.
39 to 60's then the bottom falls out with rain and snow in the mountains...guess it had to happen.
We’re paying $1.41 a litre. So $5.64 a gallon. Trade you. 😊
Down here on I-10 near Baton Rouge running the AC in the A-class at an RV resort….🤔
Global inflation, the world is suffering it right now…
