Why is my pic being doubled?
anyway, this camp requires 5 miles of the worst road known to mankind. The Tupperware is full of gasoline and is being siphoned into my one good fuel tank. The other was punctured on the way up, once we made it I caught the leaking gas in the Tupperware .

Looks good Alvin!
What body of water is that? It looks very familiar.

Thanks. I was pretty sure of that. It’s been too long since I was there.

That’s a ‘68 with a 302. Other than cut fenders, stock. Possibly the best 4x4 I’ve owned, and like a dumbass, I sold it. Needed a lot of rust repair done but was a tank. It took chains on the front to get out of there, and it was mostly downhill. We got hit with 14” of snow on that trip and nobody else came up that road. The only other guy we saw drive up was in an old willys Jeep , and he bailed when the snow started flying. And he broke his Jeep getting out, abandoned it in the middle of the trail with a note saying he’d be back for it in July. Lol.

We got to where his Jeep was, and the snowmelt had turned the road into white knuckle crawling . Tried to go uphill around him but kept sliding, couldn’t go downhill, never would have gotten back up in the mud.

had to use the come along to winch him sideways so we could pass. He bailed so quick he stopped by our camp and let us know he was leaving his tent and supplies where they were, he was afraid of getting stuck up there. Also said help ourselves to the supplies. All we took was a jug of cheap whiskey and were glad to have that. 10 day trip was one of the best hunts ever. I got a rag horn bull and a nice 26” Mulie.

To be fair, this thing beats the old bronco, mostly.

Great story, I have a 66 bronco, and have had a 69,73, and 70. Awesome off road vehicles.

Nice, you had the old bias ply pizza cutter tires! I have those on mine, it’s a stocker.

Love the classic photos. Not my camp but I'll drop a couple of my uncles moose camps from the 70s.

Prince George moose camp

Spatsizi Wildnerness fly in moose camp

Side note, that bush plane is a 1965 Cessna 180 and is still in service stationed in Dawson City, Yukon.

Another solo trip to our local sea islands last night. Hunted squirrel for supper and had a relaxing trip on a chilly night (26 degrees). Crystal clear skies made it awesome.



Rolling out. This part is only a bit over a mile on a little trail behind those trees.


My camp is on a tiny little island on the Dawho River, a brackish estuary.


Now discontinued, the little REI Passage II was the best $99 I spent on a tent in a while. Not for long backpack hikes (almost 5 pounds with footprint), still reasonably lightweight, durable, and loads of room for a solo camper. Also completely rectangular, so you can swap ends inside if you need to.


Organic, free range squirrel. I was looking pretty hard as the sun was setting and seeing nothing when I heard a little chewing sound. Walked up to a tree and this little guy came around from the back side and posed for me. Least suffering death he could have possibly had in nature (head shot).


Little Helinox Zero chair is excellent kit. Right at one pound. Expensive, but with this first camping evaluation I declare it worth every penny. Beats sitting on a pad any day.


Breaded and fried in olive oil. I like squirrel as much as chicken. Great food on a cold night. Palm frond plate worked perfectly.


33F degrees. Peppermint tea and a Snickers for dessert. Red cedar fire burning my boots.
