Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Title says it all. I have a mile long, up hill, logging road to make it through to get into camp. When we left Sunday there was 6" and still falling when we left. The recent storm may have washed it away with the rain and then deposited more snow, but I don't think I can make it in with anything over 10" on the ground. Maybe kless if it is frozen and hard. Any insight is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 DO you take your boots off before you get in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 If it was up to my wife I would, I got yelled at for leaving mud in it after hunting this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-light Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Culver, What do you do when your in camp and heavy snow is expected? Leave the trucks at the bottom and hike back in? I have 300 feet and sometimes that is a problem for me, 1 mile could suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdmckane Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Going through Whitney point right now. I can see grass through the snow in the median. Not snowing at the moment. You should be ok.

One benefit is on the way out it is down hill the entire way. We are really off the grid at camp so no outside electric, no well for drinking water. We have to bring that in with us. We have hiked in a few times during the winter and it is a rough go. had to choose between beer or water...lol. I picked up a snowmobile that I am currently getting running so we will have that option down the road but not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdmckane Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 No problem. I'm training a FNG today. Bored out of my skull sitting in this passenger seat all the way to NJ and back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks. Made it in. About 6" with a few drifts that we had to bust through. Cabin was 18 degrees when we got here at 6. All the way up to a balmy 59 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Well, if you are snowed in you don't have to worry about water and I would think survival hunting kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
