Tarp Shelter

Old Growth Forests are pretty neat places...

As Matt has already shown a pic of our leaky tarp shelter I will provide one of a more comfortable camp: Kifaru 6 man tipi.

the day after we got our shelter and hiked to the top of the first ridge was a blue sky day but the wind was brutally cold.

Dang Billy- sorry to hear your hunt turned into a survival situation. Glad everything turned out ok for you. Nice pictures though. Did you at least manage to tag a couple deer?

it was a hunt that did not go as planned. totally my fault for getting in a rush and trying to make things happen. won't make that mistake again. it was an adventure and I made a new friend. thanks for making it possible Matt....
