Understand your busy catching up but just a couple more questions. Sleep in your truck? and if so what do you do with all your trappn' stuff, pull out and put back in all the time. What about the fur? Skin everynite, put in freezer or put in freezer till later and where do you keep freezer at. And are you just tailgate cooking? Again, thanks for your time and info. Paul

don`t know what bob j does but I haul a flatbed trailer with freezers, pull into ranch and plug in. time to go just unplug and hook up and roll. and I get a hot bath and bed and cable tv and stove and microwave , phone and frig where I stay. too hard a work and long hours to not have the essentials of comfort.

Like Bobw. I have about the same accomadations. No phone thought. But 2 channel tv,woodstove, plug ins for freezers. Have a fur shed and drying room also. Cant beat that deal.Put up all fur on the road this year. Dont usually do that as time and energy usually wont permit.

I use to live in tents, roofless shacks and on the ground and even under overhangs and caves like a wildman. regular d./boone stuff. then I got older and smarter and uppity and figured I needed a roof. I skin everything and freeze and put up when home. I`m usually waaay more than dark to dark time I rotate daily and get all the skinning done. carcases aren`t a problen in the west. plenty hidey holes everywhere.

Tell all about your T-pee deal bob. I recall when I was out doing coyote work in Indiana not far from you that you were being Tonto so many days a week. Most wouldnt believe where I have slept over the years until I got a bit older needing the finer things in life.

oh ya, I been tonto too. once on the navajo res with steve craig at 38 below or some ridiculous thing. after a week we went to town to bath in a motel and thought we were roasting. couldn`t take the heat of a 60 degree room. one thing for sure, at minus 38 your balls don`t gald even with once a week bath. in the summer I just do the river bath daily. out in big piney, wyoming even that isn`t too good as the big sandy and green are glacier fed and never over 40 degrees. make a tiny weiner and tight balls ,fast. that`s where some of the fox dvd was filmed. tim rose got all huffy when I told him how he could take a bath. then claims he has diarrhea on account of me not washing the dishes. I says what dishes, we eat out of the frying pan. you just ate second. steve craig can tell how we cook t bone steaks out there. lol, on his wax pot burner!

Yes I think you told be about old Dwight this last year. He was a good ole boy. Helped me by letting me stay in his garage for a couple of months and finally got me an old camper to stay in..I will miss him and all those over the years now gone that lent me a hand when I was away so much from home.

By gosh I think you are right.If we both had the skills we have now and the miles behind us when we were in our early 30's we could have been some young mean mamma jammas on the trap line.Now we are just old farts....... reminiscing a bit.
