    Think I could kill one here?

    I hunt areas with similar topology, and often have problems with swirling wind. It really can ruin an otherwise good location.

    Shower?

    Wow. All this talk of ingenious shower solutions is really making me rethink my dirt baths. Why bother throwing dirt on yourself out in the woods when you can haul a barrel full of dirt and have it right at camp? Thx for the idea, esracerx. ��

    Done with Gore Tex

    I've had mixed results. Goretex has a guarantee, so you might try invoking it. I purchase my boots at REI, and have returned them up to a year later when they leaked. REI doesn't even ask questions. They can be pricier than elsewhere, though.

    Cabin Kits???

    My wife and I purchased a kit from Conestoga Log cabins several years ago. We love it. Since the kit came prewired and weathertight, it was easy to serve as the GC. We hired someone to clear the trees, then someone to lay the foundation and dig the septic. We had the company assemble the cabin...

    Tips?

    Not luck, blueniner! You've found a good spot, and it sounds like you earned it. Keep an eye on that meadow. Go get yourself a bruin!

    Eat your heart out, Steve Rinella

    Feast your eyes on bear bourguignon. From my Sierra Nevada bear this past fall. It was as good as it looks. My wife is the best.
