Such a Deal!!!!

I am a Civil War reanactor with STRONG ties to the French & Indian War that raged over my farm in years past.

Yesterday, I went to a perpetual Indoor Yard sale that benefits the County Childrens' Home. I saw a nearly new Mussett Bag with tin plate, metal cup and a tin pan with wire bail for boiling water for a mere $4.00. I quickly bought this Kit.

Now that I have several 'hawks, this Mussett Bag, many flinters and the perfect site for my half-faced Camp, the camp is a "GO." In the morning, I shall whistle up Loyal Hound ,Lori, trek Northwest and go forth and construct the half-faced camp in West Woods on this old farm.

Lori Dawg and I will reside in the Camp at various times this Summer and Fall. Come Winter, we shall be Coures des Boures as probably slept on this farm in 1755 and after. That is ok with me and Lori.

Adam

The half-faced camp is underway. Today I got to use the winch on the front bumper of the Polaris 800 Ranger for the first time to lift cross beams into place. Yea, I had my hawk, but the winch seemed the better option in view of my sore back.

I'd love to see some pictures of your camp, Adam.
