winter camp pt 2





As i mentioned in the previous post,i intend to extend my trap line.Usually this involves scouting around looking for signs of different animals and setting traps/snares accordingly,in scouting around sometimes im a bit too far away from my campsite,so as i did last season ive started putting in lean toos here and there,if i get caught out in heavy rain i can have the option of getting to one of these lean toos ive put or should say am puting around a wide area..This one in the pictures is incomplete,i usually work on them a bit at a time,i still have till november to complete such tasks,thats when usually the nastiest weather and frosts will around..

winter camp



well ive been lucky,i put my camp well within scrub woodland and it hasnt been found..i will be able to stay off and on here throughout the winter again as i did last winter..ive just got to do a bit of patching up on the shelter,get a good supply of firewood in it,i will also put a fire pit outside this season,im also considering extending the outside so i can sit under a roof near an out door fire on warmer days..The shelter is positioned SSE so i can pick up some sun rays although mid winter the sun struggles to make it across the tree line.I also have to extend my trap line and put in some fig 4 dead falls..
