]friend of mine was standing on a 5 gallon bucket in his garage,it collapsed and he fell.He needed a hip replacement at 35 years old. Actually, I realize how lucky I was becaue nobody else was home. Right now it's kinda nasty the way it is. The middle of the chair broke out and my leg went it in, essentially I was stuck in the chair. It ripped the hell out of my leg. Beargrease is right, it could have cut a bit deeper and I would have been in real trouble.

true story Northern Dave.
Our sauna is not like most, we used some good old fashion yooper/finn ingenuity. My father got an old Jays Potato Chip Truck, we gutted out the back added a wall just behing the driver seat installed a door and small window in that wall. We then lined the back with cedar boards (2x6 rough cut) built a bench trew it in. Built a wood stove added that with a keg to hold water cut the top off ran some pipe from the keg looped into the wood stove to heat it up. Then cut a hole in the side of the truck to let the smoke out of the stove. Yeah I know sounds backwoods and unbelievable, when I get out there next I will take pics. When we get the time an actual permanent log sauna will be built.

I call B.S to that story. Yoopers don't use a keg for water.

HAHAHAHA Damn I didn't see that one coming, and thats the truth.
Yoopers don't use a keg for water. We did of course it was long past empty, the sauna is just backwoods and well it works haha.

Metsamies, that sounds pretty cool, make sure to take pictures for us. I think this thread was misnamed. Should have been Birth of a BEER camp cause of the attention it has received Yeah I dunno what it should be called, "heap of nonsense" maybe? 264wm, is your posting handle also your cartridge of choice? I'm really partial to my own .264 which is a stainless/gray laminate M77. I really need to give some attention to that rifle by means of working up a load for it and treating it to some range time.
Something clever here.

There is 5 more chairs in there. I've got 6 more you can have "T".  The wife just tripped going down the basement stairs.  Foutunately she's ok. Time to install a railing.

ouch! good to hear she's ok!
the name of this thread has been changed a couple times by jokesters. I won't say who but his handle bears the same digits as yours after his first name Tom......
as I recall he first changed the name to birth of a beer camp.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

Gee whiz, if Stan is coming up, I might even make the 4 hour drive up to say hi! Although I am indifferent on sow-nas. I can take'em or leave'em. T- doggone it, you are lucky that is all that you got out of your chair debacle! Good luck with the turkeys. Quick Cole update: saw him at Easter and you would never know. All is well. Lining up to pour concrete in the driveway in May. I might be more excited for concrete than I get for fishing opener. On second thought...I AM more excited for concrete!! Ryan, I bet you can't wipe the smile off your face, eh? We need some habitat before, during, and after pics dude! We all wanna see you perched on a tractor all covered in dirt. Maybe with a bird or two in the background....?

Good luck Tom. Just got off the phone with one of my hunting buddies. He only saw 2 birds in 4 days.
Ryan, can you use rifles in SD for Turkeys?
Stan, if you come up I'd make the 10 hour drive.

Thanks so much for the update on Cole.
A bit of good news in this day and age is such a great thing.
Concrete driveway??
I'm seriously jealous, very much.
