8 days of outback bliss

[Tucson T4R]

I arrived for an 8 day stay. Mostly to just have fun and enjoy the backcountry before my other friends joined me to hunt Javelina for the last few days. Good freinds and good times.

Here I am arriving by myself to set up my camp before an incoming winter storm arrived.

I found out that setting up the King Kamper full canvas by yourself in 40-50 MPH winds is not fun. What normaly would take me about 1.5 hours took me almost 4 hours.

Notice the ratchet straps on the left end and the truck parked to help break the wind. I had about 8 hours of 40-50 MPH winds. Not fun but I was impressed the tent handled it without any problems. I just needed the 23 tie downs to stay in one spot. :shakin:

Rain turned to snow on Monday and the surounding mountains were beautiful.

No problem staying warm with the new wood burning stove. High 20s outside and around 70 inside. :elkgrin:

Wow, looks like a professional outfitters camp! How many javelina did you guys get?

Here are some other pics after my friends joined me for the remainder of the week.

And that is an Overland Journal he is reading by the fire. :wings: They loved them all.

Late in the second day we spotted a herd of 18-20 and just watched them meander around across a canyon from us as the sun went down. Nobody had the energy to cross the canyon to go after them. :shakin:

We spent the next day searching the surounding canyons and never did find them again. That was OK though, we have harvested many over the years

and now we more enjoy the hunt and the camping more than actualy bringing them home.

The new white kitchen tent was named the "Bio Cube III" because it looked like a huge ice cube and was near the Bioshpere. You could see our camp from 10 miles away.:hehe:
