Default The BGW is COMPLETE!!

As some of you know I have been working every night trying to get the "Big Game Wagon" done for Archery Antelope season. Needless to say it is pretty much finished. We primarily tent camp and were looking for a trailer to keep all the camping gear safe from mice and dry.
(Pardon a few of the dark pictures)
Here she is...
It is a 4x8x3 enclosed trail with a 1' top rack.



Where we hunt antelope there isn't a tree for miles. The times we have been up there we literally cooked! So I built an redneck "easy up" using a 8x10 heavy duty tarp and some 3/4" square tubing for poles. I welded in some eye bolts and nuts into the square tubing so it can be detached from the poles. The poles that slide into the corners of the trailer, have several adjustments, to set the pitch of the roof.


There is also a removable expanded metal table for the propane grill as well as several other attachments not pictured like a propane lantern hanger and a goose neck that allows the table to be moved from the tounge to the side below the water tank for doing dishes.

Ready to Roll out...
You can see the water tank, 20 lb propane tank holder, the shovel, pick, and, axe hook, cooking table, compartments for 2-5 gallon fuel cans, and 2 120 qt. Coolers.


Hope you like it!!

Cool!

When you do DIY remote/away from home hunts having the right equipment and a useable way to store and transport is critical. Taking your own shade when it is hot and there isn't any shade is just critical to comfort. The thin air western sun can really bake you and wear you down.

I see propane, water storageand room for coolers too.... all keys to an effective camp/road trip outfit. Looks like a nice unit.

I use a 6'W by 14'L by 7'H walk ing tandem axle,ramp door,cargo trailer with a customized interior for elk hunting and yes, it does have room for the kitchen sink and mucho stuff. For the vast majority, when it comes to DIY remote/away from home hunts.... no equipment.... no hunt.... just a drive in the countryside and an early departure back to the comforts of home.

I don't mind the fly weight spike camps and the just get by approach for short spells, but somewhere reasonably closeI want a base camp for longevity if I need it plus it is handy for butchering.

Iron men can get by with less for sure, but most who call themselves iron men.... just aren't.
