Show Us Pics of Your Hunting Camp Setup

[italhunter]

I am curious as to what other hunters camps look like.

Do you use expensive fancy walltents, or pop up car garages from costco? Do you tow an RV so you can pick up and move camp anytime, or set up a tent in one spot for the whole hunt?

We use rebar, pvc pipes, and tarps to make our tent. As soon as I figure out how to post pics I'll show you our setup.

Come on guys, show us pictures of your setups. This should be interesting.

Kudos to those who have animals hanging in their photos as well.:-D

Some are more comfy than others :-D

Sometimes, I enjoy seeing more animals than hunters and don't like humpin' it back to camp at the end of a long day up the mountain, so I bring it all w/ me... had a bull serenade us from 60 yards away this night... Here's 'Camp Bear Burrito' :mrgreen:

I was going to ask "Where are the hookers&blow tents?" but its probably not such a good idea.:mrgreen:

[SR80]

Our whitetail camp from last nov in the east koots, best set up we ever had. If it got cold we would just close the flap

Good ol' Bigfoot camper .:-D

[ydouask]

Hey Moose2... set up for some serious hunting. I would sure feel better with all those fuel containers a little further away from the tent.... I know, I know, getting more cautious as the years go by. No offence.

[guntech]

We have a pretty smooth set up... here is supper laid out... freshly caught trout, veggies and hash browns... this is about 15 minutes to half an hour from where we hunt...

Elk hunting

[Elkhound]

Nice camp boys. Man....Im embarrassed to show ours now. Lol

[swampthing]

I was on a riverboat headin up the dease river a few years back, just upstream from moose meadows. We came around a bend and saw a sign hangin on a walltent that said "BAR". We pulled in of course. A couple friendly gents appeared and asked us what we wanted to drink. Good thing there were no cops on that river that day.

[derek p]

This is what we typicall set up for the short weekend hunts in spring and early fall.

Blackwater? There isn't any game around their. You should know that. People needn't waste their time hunting that area.

Some sweet lookin' camps there boys!! Speakin' of cush', a friend of mine shot a buck off his home made hot tub on teh deck of his hunting cabin... :rolleyes:

Here's another of my comfort camps for bonzai overnight trips... The Ford Motel... I've got an platform with 8" foamey that fits perfectly in teh box of the truck. All the gear slides under the platform... DELUXE! :wink:

looks like he brought his shed with him :mrgreen:
I guess it would actual be very handy. Put a A/C unit in there to hang meat if it's warm safe place to keep your food from bears. Pretty redneck but I like it

Well this is our camp. I can't wait to set it up this year. Nothing beats hunting all day, then going back to camp and having a big plate of pasta for dinner, 2 or 3 glasses of my uncles home made wine, then crawling into my sleeping bag and passing out.

[Philcott]

Here is our camp. This is from a couple years ago and every year it seems we improve on something. The camper is gone now but we added a shower and cook shelter.

Don't really post much but here a couple of pics from our camp...

Normally Two cabin wall tents facing each other with a closed in common area between them so both stoves heat the entire area.

As well as one of the meat pole from last years Moose hunt

[bridger]

well stocked meat pole congrats!

[Theo]

Ya it was a good haul last year

[moose2]

Nice looking camp Theo
That is a nice time of the year for moose hunting. The meat can hang along time.

[ThreeFuturehunters]

Here is ours, it is a 16 x 20 with 5 foot porch, internal frame, and with the rain fly, it is awesome in all weather, and it works for moose.

This is one of ours. We are lucky to be able to share it with some of you guys out there.

Teach the newbie time...

I've camped since I was a nipper (in the UK) and I've NEVER seen some of the stuff posted here. I've lived in houses smaller than some of these camps - must have taken you all the off-season to cart the gear out there! LOL!

For those with meat poles - how do you keep the carnivores (bears, wolves, coyotes, Sasquatch even... ) away from the meat? Must have a scent signature the size of the Northern Lights!

Apologies if it is a dumbass question - where I grew up the only thing you had to keep off your meat were flies and farmers daughters.

Drive up the fraser canyon in October and you'll be amazed the stuff you see!
That is the trouble, eliminating what you dont need. But if you get a good utility trailer you can pack alot in them. Just make sure you have room for meat!

Tie them high! well thats what i do. I have heard of people having bear trouble lots. In the 20 some years i have hunted i have never had trouble.
And the biggest rule to Game poles,,,, always tie up your own! I have watched a number of moose crash from a busted pole.

[fowlweather]

wow, my camps suck compared to these. we just bring super warm sleeping bags and set up two tarps (one for sleeping and one for cooking) and sleep with no walls. just my dad and brother and three rifles and two shotguns to protect us.

as for the tasty morcels we hang em' and hang em' high:) if we have a bear problem we shoot it... problem solved

What the heck is that on the big trailer?

That trailer has a meat house built on the middle with a reefer unit attached and powered by a generator on the tongue of the trailer. The ATV's travel fore and aft. There are storage units at the back end and on top of the house and front. There are 2 40 gallon fuel tanks on the underside to carrry extra fuel.

Pic of the lodge. just a step up from the old wall tent, sure don't miss the flapping of the tent on those windy nights.

Sorry about the pic trouble. Sleeps 4, hauls 3 quads and yes an airtight wood stove. Great for those late Nov. hunts.

This was one of the coldest nights I've spent in a tent without heat. The snow was squeaky when we got up that morning.

http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/ff321/Orangethunder77/Hunt2005031.jpg

I notice you have one of those isobutane type fuel canisters in front of your tent, how well did it work at those lower temperatures?

[Orangethunder]

They work alright, I kept it inside that night and it boiled water fine that morning. Had I left it in the vestibule it would probably be a different story.

I use the Primus 4 season Mix. Haven't tried any others so I can't say it works better or worse.

No kiddin'! That's a pretty slick setup. Is that just a regular enclosed trailer? Any pics taken from the outside?

Very nice. Is that the rear door where the wood stove is? What do you have to vent the propane cook stove. Does everything move to fit 4 quads?

[Kyle84]

I dunno man your camper looks a lot warmer than my wall tent and how that wood and heat comes all ready to go in those propane tanks, sure is impressive :biggrin:

I HATE dealing with a wet wall tent after a trip !

You supply the beer, bacardi, blondes, brunettes (those red heads are friggin' angry, likely to burn the whole works down if we piss em off) diesel and wrench monkeys for whatever breaks and we'll talk !

what do you call your tent Mark?

[Hunterguy]

Getting a lot of questions regarding the lodge [Moose is Loose Trailer] so I thought I would give my private messages a rest and fill in some blanks.

Its a 20ft by 8-6ft 10,000 gvw Continental trailer with extra head height.
Has an 8 inch lift and is totally insulated.
Gen-set ready with in-line deep cell batteries.
Full size fridge with freezer and forced air furnace.
Custom side windows with a chimney door.
Airtight woodstove with 8 inch pipe.

Sleeps 4 with full size bunks
3 burner propane stove
toaster, coffee maker, microwave and sat radio, t.v. with the dvd.
table sits 5 for dinner
Hauls 3 quads with one in the truck box
18ft awning for working over the webber barbi

Speced out the trailer and ordered it through Cummings in Aldergrove, it arrived pretty much bare inside and finished it off myself. Everything is hinged and folds away to fit the quads etc. The propane stove you see has a whole drilled through the fender well where the propane hose goes out to hookup with the bottle outside. Trailer is also hard wired for co detector and smoke detectors.

Hauls great with the duramax, you would need an extended tongue for the short boxes if you want to put a tailgate down to fit a quad.

Yeah got stopped at hope this season, weight scales guy re weight with truck and trailer, bumping up your gvw, etc., cured that problem by getting a license for an r.v. as we use it to sleep in, just a heads up for other guys who have been stopped and fined.

Hopefully that answers a few questions guys later Hunterguy.

Cabelas Bighorn II tent. This is a great tent for 1-4 people. I can get this set up with stove burning in 15 mins. I have the vestibule as well, which makes a great cook shack.

Man, there are some nice rigs here...makes me think my little backpack tent is slightly inadequate (and then I remember...I've got to haul the thing somehow).

I'll generally pitch my mountain hardware tent for any trip. I've also been known to crash in the cab of the truck from time to time.

Thanks for the info HunterGuy. I have a travel trailer but have been thinking for some time now about building a enclosed trailer. By the way, Very nice job !!!

[Hunterguy]

Inside pics in the hunting gear thread, no problem I hope some of your questions are better answered.

[snowhunter]

http://www.sandmanhotels.com/hotel/bc/cranbrook

And part of this nice and friendly hotel, is a 24 hours Dennis Restaurant.

Most good hunting is within one hours drive from Cranbrook.

You just pack your hunting gear. Also far cheaper than most other hunting camps, where you have to pack trailers, campers, tent, cooking stuff, food etc.

Heavy tailers and campers takes you longer to get to the hunting grounds, as well as make you spend much more money on gas.

I find that a lot of good hunting in B.C. can be reached comfortably from many local hotels/motels, and many of the motels also have complete "kichenettes".

Often, many of these motels have good off season rates for the hunters. Around $ 60.- a day for a room is not a unusual rate, which can hold as many as four hunters. Some of them even offers you a place to hang your meat, as well as give you advice of good places to hunt locally :)

I also like to support these local B.C. businesses when I hunt.

[BlacktailStalker]

I'd rather pay $100 for a room and NOT have to eat Dennys.
Especially before going on a hunt, talk about a major case of 'soup ass' !

I go in the bush to get away from phones, bad drivers, bills, checkout times...HBC :lol:, thats 75% of the experience gone staying in town !
To each their own though !

AMEN!

The whole idea is to get away and relax! not have to drive back to town and deal with traffic and dumb-asses. Plus the camp food is 10x better than any restraunt can dish up, err well except if Gatehouse is cooking:tongue:

This is the new base. The tent behind the camper will have walls and a wood stove in it for next year, or maybe a 14x16 from Deluxe?? Pretty comfy, better than a tent! Moosin

[snowhunter]

Well, I guess after years of hunting from campers and fly in hunting camps, I realize that really do enjoy the comforts and services of what hotel/motel/restaurants can offer, especially at the end of a long day of hard hunting in rain, snow etc :)

If there are no restaurants near these remote hotel/motels, an electric slow cooker can have your supper ready when you arrive back again at the end of the day.

And staying in a hotel/motel while hunting, does not in any way reduce your succes rate for game. I have so far, never noticed any difference.

DRyer vent hose is a very dangerous choice for stove pipe. It tends to melt and fill the tent with smoke before igniting it. Hell of a way to wake up...if you do.

Nice! using the top pack for a tarp is pretty "hard". Love it.

So strange seeing a pic like this these days when everyone is braggin up how they avoid "roughin it"............nice job.

Hey Mcrae! Is that a Cabelas tent? Bighorn?

[ElectricDyck]

The horse camping pictures look great, away from the roads but still able to bring a wall tent!

Here's a pic of a scenic place where our scouting trip took us a little too far and we curled up in our deer beds next to the fire.

Haha, no sink but a pretty comfy camp for sure. As I get older, I appreciate the wagon hunt more and more I just wish there were more areas that were accessible with the team but it's usually 1 or 2 big hills or a washout that keeps me out.

[Rackmastr]

What a great thread!

It really re-affirms my thoughts that I need to invest in a nice quality 12x14 wall tent with an internal frame and a nice wood stove. Some late season hunts would be great to do in one and there is just something cool about a wall tent camp.

[BimmerBob]

Here is the first set up of my wall tent during last years hunting season, 12 x 14 and think maybe a bit bigger would have been nice but it works.

I am still not happy with the stove, water tank is nice but need to fix the supplied fitting to ensure it doesn't leak and thinking of putting a swinging smoke shelf in to reduce smoke while draft is starting.

I think the best part of wall tents is having a nice stove but finding one that is perfect is a hit and miss experience.

Here is a shot of the overall camp...

looks like cabelas done well nice setup i was looking at that stove u mentioned u were not happy i got a 14x16 norseman tent doors on both ends how was heat from that stove how long does it burn i hunt from april till end november does stove burn 8 hours warm ? and would it heat a 16 x 20 tent

The stove should heat a 16 x 20 and it burns a good 8 hours when stoked up and full but gets too warm for me if the draft is left open for any time at all. We were out Aug/Sept so I am sure November it would be working a bit harder. The water jacket loses a lot of water over night as the top is not sealed (just a hinged lid) so it is something to watch carefully as burning with it dry may not be a good idea.

I need to build a wooden box for the stove for packing and if you notice the stove exit pipe in the pic you will see it is part of the originally supplied nesting pipe. The damn hole does not quite take a 5" pipe so I jury rigged this mess. I need to get my buddy pnbrock to make me a proper transition for it.

Elk camp up the Alaskan Highway

[wolf]

We hang our meat close to camp & we sleep locked & loaded if a carnivore dare




Teach the newbie time...

I've camped since I was a nipper (in the UK) and I've NEVER seen some of the stuff posted here. I've lived in houses smaller than some of these camps - must have taken you all the off-season to cart the gear out there! LOL!

For those with meat poles - how do you keep the carnivores (bears, wolves, coyotes, Sasquatch even... ) away from the meat? Must have a scent signature the size of the Northern Lights!

Apologies if it is a dumbass question - where I grew up the only thing you had to keep off your meat were flies and farmers daughters.

[XPEIer]

bimmerbob, is that the 4 in one sleeping bag from Wholesale sports on the right hand side of the tent? I was looking at them in the store 2 weeks ago and thought they would be perfect for hunting camp giving the ability to adjust according to the outside temps.

any feedback would be great.

It is, I have the same one, excellent bag and have been thinking about picking up a second for the wife, she always steals mine when ever we go together, but never plan on having to pack on your back anywhere, its big and heavy, but nice size for a top pack :) or use with the quads

Footprint is about 20 x 34 ft including tarp & porches
Tarp go's too ground from roof line, this provides additional storage, protection from weather and keeps water from pooling & running back into tent
Front porch holds BBQ, Bar & wash station, back porch has been used for storage, ATV garage, hanging game & over flow sleeping. Has doors front & back
Have camped in -25 f but really needed a bigger wood stove for that
Water jacket has a adjustable spacer so not to boil dry

It's got to be tough finding flat ground for that puppy. We have a hard enough time with the 12 x 20.

Holy crap!!! did you rebuild and stay or did you tuck the tail??

I would have thought the snow would slide off the tarps

[wolf]

dead end bush roads & old log landings work well.
Definitely fewer choices, but we always find more than one to chose from

[wolf]

After being away 5 days we got in camp mid afternoon for a evening hunt.........so not happening

Tarp blew off from wind so usually slides off tarp but this time wet snow got to canvas which holds it, much already melted in the pic, tent swimming in pools of water.

Rebuilt, with lots of bending & rigging, cranked up fire had a great dinner, a great sleep & great morning hunt
We got lucky as sleep bags were on cots & pretty dry

All incl. a great 2007 Elk hunt & camp.

Nope, the one with the kid wrapped in a tarp is north of Lytton on the east side of the Fraser. The snowy one is about 6 km's south of that.

[huntingmom]

Wow...your camp sure brings back memories.
Husband and I had a setup like yours when our girls turned 3 1/2 years old.
We camped for two weeks in Golden where we enjoyed our wall tent. I loved it..... unfortunatley I'm a very light sleeper so any noice I heard I was instantly wide awake with a racing heart.
We put two queen size byb's (build your own beds) , a patio set ( without the umbrella) and a wood stove and there was still lots of room for coolers and other things.
Did two weeks of grouse hunting.....and that's all the girls wanted to eat.

I do have pictures of our setup, unfortunately it's on a 35mm roll.

Now we go camping in a 28 ft motorhome.

Paw.....what is that? an old dry lake? Looks like a great spot to camp. Cheers

Moose Camp set up from september to november, a whole bunch of use it, almost always someone there.

Here's the common room we built for when there was a whole bunch of us out there, log frame and all tarped in, watching the canucks game and thanksgiving grouse dinner! I can't seem to find a picture of the outside of it.

Here's where we slept! we put a wood fireplace in the awning as well, must have took these pictures before it was installed! We would open all the windows and doors and the wood heat would keep the whole place nice and warm. Rolled out a old piece of carpet for floor, kept it nice and clean.

Here she is all tarped in, Ugggggly! but worked great! We added a fully functional door in the front there, as well as some windows. Was a lot of fun, almost like having a cabin out there, we'd go every weekend!

It looks like you used scaffolding for the tent poles and the table. That's an excellent idea. It would pack away easily and yet still be quite strong if a wind came up.

This is our 'get-up'.
During the summer, we haul every 'toy' to the camp.
During hunting season....only the quads come and maybe the inflatable fishing boat.

The motorhome is pretty-well self sufficient. Has solar panels, and generator ( we hardly ever use). No hook-ups for this baby.

This picture was taken before the trailer was unloaded.

We had a good laugh, if we didn't stop every 10mins for a beer break and every 15mins for a piss break... We could of had it done with in 1hr 1/2. Every camp setup is a mess for us... It one of those things when you wake up in the morning trying to remember where you put half of your gear...hahaha

Notice the camo jacket on my hunting partner.
The lady poster that related about camping near Golden brought this to mind.
A couple of times I shot out of this in the middle of the night, like the night I thought some large canivore was knawing on the plywood underneath.
Not to forget the night that the wind pulled the rear stake out and the tent collapsed forward. Partner said I shot out of it like toothpaste out of a tube if you had laid it on the bathroom counter and slammed your fist into it.

I'm bumping this for interest sake. Some really nice setups and a lot of good ideas. Along the lines of why didn't I think of that and next time I go out I'm doing it that way.

This is no hunting camp, this is Best Western.
