The Coyote Camp

Sure good to see your great pictures again, Dave. Next best thing to actually being there. Really appreciate your time to put them up!!

ETA: Lot of thought put into your jeep, CJ; nice rig. I had my first ('65 C10) pickup rigged for camping somewhat similar to that. Had to unload the bed to do so, but could sleep 4 in a pinch. Those were the days!

Great post Dave! I do a lot of spring and summer camping when denning. I have a kodiak canvas tent I like well, but have used the Cabelas tent cot quite a bit and just a tiny little one man tent. My only reasoning for a shelter in warm weather is to stay out of the dang bugs.
 

Dave, you have been and are living the life. I admire your adventures, skills, photos, camp setup, writing and all. This is perhaps the most interesting thing I have seen. You have lived like many only dream of. My hat is off to you.
 
I have seen some of those pictures before scrolling through your web pages, but not near all of them. Very cool. Great pictures, great story, really helps to put us there and be in the moment. Outstanding series of posts. Thank You!
 
Dave you are living a good life but of course you already knew that. Thanks for the pictures and great post
 
Thanks for all the kind words fellas - I sure do appreciate them.

I'm not sure whether it's just the picture making it look that close, or it was that close and we moved it. But the chairs didn't get hurt

. Those are Steve's fancy rocking chairs, too.

Excellent stuff Dave. Great photos and I’m sure a great time was had as well. I always enjoy when you post your adventures, allows me to live my dream of going out west somewhat vicariously through them until I can make it happen. Thanks for sharing.

Don't put it off, Adam, do it now. My wife and I put it off until retirement, but by then that ship had sailed. Thanks, Dave, for the next best thing to actually being there!!

"Out West" is rapidly fading away, too. Population growth, development etc. have changed things dramatically in my lifetime and the changes just keep happening bigger and faster.

Get it while it's still there to be got!

Listen to these guys, don't wait. If you wait to retirement you have to remember to retire you have to be OLD.

I was divorced and took a 7 year retirement in my late 30s till my early 40s it was a blast but tough making ends meet, trapping, hunting and fishing were what I did taking part-time work in the summer, worked the beet harvest to grubstake trapping season and cutting fire wood from the end of trapping season until spring beaver. Fur prices dropped and I went back to work to put together a grubstake to make my next retirement easier. I've been retired for 14 yrs now and it is nice to have a steady check coming in each month and an even better lifestyle with a wife that thinks trips away from the house are good for me.
 
Looks like some fun adventures Dave. We do a similar thing in the early season for coyotes but when it starts getting to cold we head for a motel. We always sleep under the stars when out prairie dogging.
 
Looking good! I just started getting into overlanding myself. I've only done a few trips like yours. I hope to make a lifestyle out of it. You're in Northern Utah right?
 
Love seeing your camps and the pics are great. We're over run with coyotes where I'm at, and the thought to go out on an excursion elsewhere for coyotes hadn't crossed my mind until I saw some of your posts on the web. I was going to buy the exact same jeep you have, but ended up not getting one til 2015. It's just like yours but the next body style and nothing but a front bumper swap and some steps no lift nothing else just put Kenda mud cleavers on instead of the tires it came with that were squirrely on wet roads. The way you roll looks like it would be fun and handy regardless of whether a guy was off hunting or just goofing and seeing some country.

Does that Fridge run off a 12 Volt accessory plug in?
