The best part about spring bear season for me is still the hours of glassing the green....

After a hard day's hunt, throw hot rocks from the fire into the pit, pour water on it in enclosed area, and you got yourself a sauna..don't forget to bring your swim shorts...

Used to do that with sheet of plywood for roof and poly. Smaller the better for heating up and holding the heat. Used 4x4 piece of plywood as shield from exploding rocks. Get them hot enuf, the cold water can send shrapnel flying. Amazing how fast you can blow holes through the poly when that happens.
