Still hunting the same ranch but with improved accommodations. This was a ranch house built in the 1800's, no electricity, propane provided the lights, refrigerator, and hot water. It was very drafty and basically the same temp as outside with lots of critters sharing the same home.

Is that ranch east of 35 outside of Millet?

Actually more than I can count. I have also logged over 30,000 miles on her. Bought her new in 2010. I just take of the things I own, if that is the reason for your question.

Dang, thing looks brand new!

Like Bobo said, Webb Co, east of Laredo.

Thanks

If I took some close ups of all of dents and guards falling off. Doors inside have been replaced, walls have fallen down inside, floods from toilet breaking, water pump being replace, blowouts on the road, fans and skylight being replaced, new antenna, replaced all outside marker lights ……etc but I ALWAYS take it to get repaired.

started out with an old 8x16 box truck. work in progress...

Slept in the back seat of the truck many times, will not get a hotel!

that old stove is bad [censored]!!!

It is a mid 30s coleman air o gas, it has a big tank and pump just like the camping stoves but bigger. it weighs a ton! works pretty good for cooking breakfast and coffee, have not tried the oven yet though

Damn it, Now you have me looking for one for my container cabin

I never got the whole Airstream thing, until I saw Superduty’s post. Very nice.

Started with a previously owned POS pickup bed camper. Wife and I spent a couple of nights in it. Both wound up with crabs (pubic lice). Had to be fumigated. Next was a 16 ft camper . It was ok. Built an out house.

Then found a 60 ft trailer house for sale about 3 miles from my place. Bought it for $6,000 and had it pulled to my place. Had a well dug and sewer system. Heater has never worked but has a cast iron stove in the living room. At very best, it can be called a poor white trash trailer house with window AC. Needs new carpet.

Probably will sell it and and the 133 acres of land, South of Bowie, in the next couple of years. But, not just yet. It’s still my sanity spot to get out of the metroplex. Grandsons and I use the shooting range and we enjoy tossing out food to the fish in the ponds.

Need rain badly.

These old pictures bring back memories.

I backpack hunt so - pretty rustic - a tent. No hotels, trailers, or even vehicles where I am.

We've got an OLD mountain cabin over 100 years old that almost never gets used and is more than 10 miles (1 hour ATV/UTV drive up an old stagecoach trail) away from any other structure. It's decently rodent proof and we keep the basics including sleeping bags in plastic bins. Also keep dry firewood and the cabin has a pot belly stove to keep the place warm. Every now and then, we'll spend a night in it while elk hunting just to be that much closer to the action the next morning. Certainly not would not be my first choice for staying a week, but it's far superior to some of the tent hunters I see out in CO.

I've done rustic for a long time (and sometimes downright suffering), and my back doesn't really appreciate it anymore. About 13 years ago, we decided that comfort was a bit more meaningful. And rarely a year goes by when this thing hasn't been covered in deer blood. Over 38k miles and counting.

Nice set up.

couple of the ranchwagens... mabey more rusty then rustic lol.

Ive been looking at either clam or accordion pop up shell camper for my truck. Alot easier to navigate BLM and NF

diesel heater?

I was wondering the very same thing, but I would have said east of 35 and close to Los Angeles.

yeah, they are a gamechanger for cold weather camping. i think whole setup was $120. everything in 1 vechical makes getting back in nf and blm land a lot easier
