Working on camp -- UPDATE 7/31
« on: Jul 05, 2006, 04:20 PM »
I think the old guys are getting a little soft.  Three years ago we had an outhouse and gas lanterns at deer camp.  Since then we've added running water, electricity, and this past weekend we put up tongue and groove paneling.  I warned them that if they keep this up, the wives are going to start coming out... :'(



We worked for 15 hours on Saturday, making the last cuts by firelight with a headlamp ;D


At some point, I got my sweaty paws all over the camera lens.  It made for a cool, if inadvertent, filter affect on the lights.


Just for fun, here are the majority of us in happier times.  I'm on the left in the brush pants.  Guess who does most of the driving? ;)


Notice the nice, cheap paneling that somebody got for free years ago.  What was wrong with that?  It's getting way too comfy out there.  Before you know it we'll be having tea and crumpets and... gasp... taking showers


I'm sure I'll get crap from the younger generation when I get old and soft, but until then, I'll just keep giving it to these guys ;D  I wouldn't have it any other way.

Creature comforts are always hard to swallow at first. Won't be long & you won't know how you ever lived without that stuff  ;D  Cool looking place, by the way ;)

It's funny how we will all hours of the day and night on our own projects, but if our employer wanted us to work those hours..... :nono:   :rotflol:  Nice looking place.

Unfortunately, my employer does ask me to work like that on occasion.  It sucks at the time but the check is nice and I love my job, so I get through.

The pole has been sadly devoid of giant bucks the past few years.  We're trying to remedy that ;)

Nice camp!! We have a shower at my deer/fish camp and it is excellent after a few days to be refreshed by a hot shower ;D.

I'm sure.  The new shower is going in sometime in September.  As much as I like to give them crap, I'm looking forward to a shower about 5 days into deer season. ;D

Guilty as charged :'(  
They don't exactly smell like lillies amongst the grass either.  It's a good addition for everyone involved.  I think anyone who's spent 15 days or more in a cramped space with 9 other beer swilling, bean gobbling men would agree  :sick:

I would think another type of running water is needed to remedy this!? ;D

Hey, we have a trout/deer camp that has been in the family since 1966.  It had a spring that we hauled water from for cooking, drinking, etc.  We used an outhouse when there were no women there.  But we hauled water to a toilet (small septic) when there were women there.  It has had electricity for as long as I can remember.

Women started coming to camp more often when we added the water and shower about 10 years ago.... :'(

We also have a plywood shack... I mean camp... in Quebec.  It's fly-in only.  No power, water, etc.  I wouldn't change a thing.  No women there! ;D  One of the guys with a share in the camp keeps pushing for a generator.  Fortunately, he is always out voted.  Why the hell would I want a generator humming in the background when we are BS'ing around the fire at night, drinking Crown Royal and Canadian beer?
