Still at Spring Creek. The strong breezes and chilly temps eased up a bit today making a wonderfully comfortable day. I did a bunch of maintaince chores(laundry, waterproofed hiking boots, paid bills etc.) and then decided to make a bench to sit on.
Recall my camp chair was stolen? I bought a new one at a hardware store but it turned out to be a children's size. Fine, I'll make my own!
Had to saw part of a downed tree, and then split it. To do that I made some wedges from an Aspen tree and a big ass hammer/maul to pound them. The log was riddled with insect tunnels and didn't spit as neatly as I would have liked. Next, I drilled holes for the legs with a Scottish Eye (Google that one). I cut some branches to length and whittled them to fit tightly in the holes. Yep, looks like hell but it works.
Notice the exquisite craftsmanship!

Awesome pictures, I love the Blue River with your rod, looks clean and cold. How is your tent rig in the rain and wind? I think Gerry would be pleased with your camp chair and tools, good work!
