Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire First indoor fire of the season

Was going down to 20F range Monday night so I actually lit the damn wood heater. Have another burnin' right now. Sure feels nice to have an actual localized heat source instead of the furnace blowing hot air around the rooms.



Made the pup happy too:

We are a ways out yet, mid 70’s during the day and 50’s at night. Hate to wish good weather away but I am ready for evenings in front of the wood stove.

Still in the 70s here. The humidity has finally dropped though. Nice outside.

Take that dog back to the haunted house you found it in.

Is that a box of adult diapers beside that dog’s head?

You come in to the world wearing them, might as well go out with them too.

Besides, the man said it's 20 freaking degrees out. Who wants to go to the outhouse in that kind of weather.

They are damned convenient.

Jeezus...cheap eyetalians, freeze to death before they put a stick of wood on the fire..I done gone through a 1/4 cord already, and I'm over a thousand feet lower elevation. Mostly I just do it to piss off the Forest Service driving to and from the Salmon fire, I think they are having a lot of trouble keeping it going. I heard they pre ordered turkeys for fire camp, if that tells us anything. I'll really get worried if they put up a Christmas tree in fire camp.

Great for football games too.

10 year old box from the air bags I put on the truck.

Serves as a place not too close to the heat to dry my boots out, when I have to wear the danm things in the snow and mud.

Wish my barefeet were tougher, but cold just gets to the Boomerthritis in them.

Well, it was kinda nice for a week or so after I pulled out the window A/C units and put up the swamp cooler. No electricity use for heating and cooling. Then I turned on the thermostat and that fugger would start coming on every morning at 0530, get the house up to 68F and shut down if we had sun. But, as you know, these little pissant systems have been rolling through every two days, blockin' my rays. Dang furnace was running during the day, and I hate spending money on electrons. Even on the Co-op here I'd rather support my local firewood guys!

Yeah, I'm cheap that way. Growing up in SoCal heating and cooling was mostly a non-issue. If I could, I'd move to Hawai'i, shorts all year, Hawai'ian shirt is dress up, good fishin and some hunting, but their laws suck even worse than here I think.

Nice. We've been burning the woodstove for a few days now.

Geno I heard it got cold up there. Have a buddy hunting X3A and he said he killed his buck in a snow storm. Stay warm…

watchu talkin' bout Willis?

He's a perfect specimen.



(no, I didn't clean the lens on the crappy old cell phone.............that's from the big camera with the nice lenses)

Dusting of snow on the Warners right now. Folks are talking we might have a real winter this year. Not much rain/snow but probably substantially below zero at times.

-24.9F is the coldest we've seen here since moving in during the fall of '16. Has hardly dropped below zero since.

Burned the dust off my wood stove just two days ago.

Pup looks cozy/thankful!

mid 20's over night here

rained all day Tuesday....lots of new mountain snow...

I'm lazy.......NG pot belly in basement

Gree Mini split heat pump system in front room

Main furnace never kicks on

Yeah, that's what it's like some days.

Good thing our oldest is now nearing 12 and has slowed down.

But when Breeze the giant whippet and that Dandee dude get to going, watch out.
