Thanks guys! I'll look into AZ for sure.

Seems almost like an oxymoron to ask...but anyone have a suggestion on an early season archery hunt at lower altitudes? I have a medical condition that's really been hampering me the last couple seasons once I get about about 7000 feet. No matter what I do, I cant get acclimated. That said...

Had to slow down on the project a little bit this week. Work and play got in the way. Still made some progress while im waiting for parts to get delivered though. Oh...and I snuck away to take little man on his first hunt. He's been with me for the last 2+ years but this was his first time...

Pluggin away on some piddly tasks today. Windows came in the mail so I got both lined out. Only had time to cut and install one of them today: Drilled a few wire holes in the exterior for 12v lights. Nothing worth showing there yet. Mounted the Inverter/Charger to the wall and wired up the...

I have the Bino XR from Badlands. I can't imagine hunting without it anymore. Fits my vortex viper 10X50 and my rangefiner. Also has 2 pockets where I keep an allen key set, chapstick and some extra shells or backup realease. I use it for whitetail at home and out west. Probably my single...

Good luck! Can't wait to hear about this trip!!!

Got the vent fan cut in and installed today. I saved room if i want to put an actual AC unit in later, but this Maxx air fan had great reviews. Waterproofing is a huge concern, so after cutting and fitting the hole, I cleaned the area with alcohol. Then, I used Butyl tape under the frame. After...

Thanks! I'm happy with it. I think it'll hold up pretty well

Got the second coat of kilz on the floor, door and trim pieces. Taped up and ready for epoxy- Next, the epoxy floor from SuperCoat went down. Pretty easy application. Don't get this stuff anywhere you don't want it forever. Mineral Spirits seem to remove most of what I didn't want covered...

Only cost $13 in foam. I have some of the closed cell 2part but my thinking is that its too heavy for the door. Because I'll end up caulking it, it'll seal airtight anyway. Tip for buying great stuff- They package their product horribly and lowes/depot usually have damaged cans if you ask. I...

Finished insulating the door tonight. I trimmed the excess great stuff from the floor and stuffed it into the door. The latches were going to be difficult to remove and get back in the correct position so I left them on and used several cans of great stuff to fill and seal the remainder of the...

Lots of light showing in around the floor. Eventually, I'll caulk it in from underneath but I also want extra insulation. So I sprayed some great stuff all around the flooring sealing up gaps. I'll trim this before sealing and painting. I also pulled half the wood off the rear door so I can...

Working on prepping the floor for coating today. Decided to leave the floor in place. Eventually, I will take it to my buddies shop, put it on a lift, and insulate the underside from there. Prep work on the floor includes: Sanding a few rough spots, Filling cracks with paintable caulk, cutting...

I actually looked at one and almost bought it. My past experience buying used trailers scared me away. Peace of mind knowing exactly how the build was made is worth a lot to me....of course I may have a different opinion in a few weeks lol

Looks great! I appreciate all the tips!

That jack plate is an outstanding idea!

I agree on raising the floor. It'll either be that or a portable tank. CC's trailer was awesome! Got a lot of ideas off that thread!

So far no big surprises. I got all the trim and plywood off tonight. Lots of gaps that need caulked and sealed. I expected them though. These trailers aren't made to live in so there will certainly be some light/air coming in. You can see in the front nose a pretty good gap. Not a big deal...

I've been toying with the idea of building or converting an enclosed trailer into a hunting rig for some time. Finally bit the bullet and started the project today. I'll post updates as the project continues. I'm really looking forward to this build! Rewinding just a bit, I was up in the air...

---------A mostly true story about a mouse I killed tonight.--------- So My wife tells me she saw a mouse yesterday. I set a trap tonight in the living room to catch the little guy. Now, normally I use standard traps, but tonight I used the Rage Broadhead of mousetraps- the TomKat. Fast...
