Love this thread and never participated till I figured out pictures. Our camp. 40 years old next May. Pretty typical of a UP deer shack. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/p4eCGY0.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Hl2mhuM.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/S9kZoaZ.jpg)

I wear my chickenbuck hat every deer season, it's getting pretty faded now though. My Chicken Buck hat was a casualty of dragging a buck out in a blizzard about 3 years ago. I thought the branches had just snagged my hood but it took my hat off as well, I guess. I tried to retrace my steps but they were covered in snow. No sign of it in the spring either. Damn...

Sitting on 120 acres of old farmland. All lumber cut on site and rough cut to dimension at sawmill down the road. Hemlock and cedar. Deck was added later and replaced once in last 40 years. Got some snow last year. She held up fine. Snow on roof was shoulder high on a 6ft tall man. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ZJRVgqo.jpg)

Next time up there, I'll get some better pics of the cabinets. My dad n uncle built it, I was 3 or 4 but the cabinet pulls are all 12ga hulls, Winchester W on them. The countertop nail heads covered with various cartridge headstamps. Can sorta see the "W" here... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/oYVchFp.jpg) Calendars for backgrounds on over the stove cabinets ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LBnDyqg.jpg) Loft ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4TsC8ed.jpg)

Percolator coffee = best coffee, so it looks like you're doing that right too.

Have you? Not enough ice down in this neck of MN for any Ice Palaces. Not even enough ice for cars from the smart people. Hell...yesterday it was 51*. That's like 118 Canadian degrees. 
Camp is where you make it.

Yeah Tom, we were mobile on the snowmachines by Christmas, had 8"+ good blue ice by then.
I towed the hard shack out with the tundra 550 fan over the Christmas / New Year break.
I'll hang some pics, if you'd like ?
