Awesome pics guys.

Bigbull - Good job on taking excellent care of your meat.

Here's a couple of my favorite camps:

This one's not too comfortable but the view is nice:



Now this here's an RV!



Everything that was inside the RV set up a long, long way from any roads:

No. I forget the name - its my friends tent, but I don't think it is Integral Designs. They do make some cool looking stuff though.

A lot less comfortable than home and my hunting partners are way uglier and have way worse breath than my wife but they can carry more.

Actually that thing is pretty good. Highly waterproof and vented. Not super warm but I carry a pretty good bag.

i have found that if you are high enough up and it is cold enough at night they are almost pleasant...but using them below the treeline and in anything but winter....sweatfest!!....

Even though this tent looks like it was a solo trip, there were two of us packed in this for a sheep hunt:



Love the pictures. I'm definitly going to need to buy an outfitter tent in a few years.

If the weather is nice its fine. I'm too tall for the cab of the truck and was hunting a different place every day for a week so setting up a tent or trailer would have been too much. It served its purpose.

No, that is a peak hammock I got from SIR. It is probably very similair to the Hennessy except in price? Next year i will save a few ounces and a bit of space with a siltarp.

One of my rough camps when I was guiding about 20 years ago.

This is how I used to put up my winter meat on the trapline - by drying it.
