Ok, we didn’t hunt in our tent...lol.
A wall tent, did it have more than one room, was it fitted for a camp stove? Now I am dreaming. Why hasn’t Cabela’s sent me its latest catalogue.
Heard about some guys (’not from around here,’ as they say) hunting up near Yellowstone this year who set up a really big tipi right in the parking area near the trailhead to use as their base camp.
All good and fine though you are going to have a lot of traffic in such a spot.
But they also put up some small t-posts and stretched a wire around the tipi with a solar generator attached to give their wire a bit of an electric charge, the kind you might use to to top your garden fence to discourage racoons.
My buddy asked them what was up with the fence. “We’ve got our food and stuff in there,” said the out-of-stater. “That’s to keep the grizzlies away.”
Preppars PING!!
Hat tip to wyokostur for the heads up!
