[QUOTE="Omega, post: 5605540, member: 20060"] I bought a parcel of land in a conservation management program, so no permanent structures can be erected, and no travel trailers can be left on site. After a theft at my other place, I changed my mind about leaving a travel trailer out there anyway. So I decided to get the required permit to clear an area to camp in, met the conservation guys out there and walked the area explaining what my plans were and asking about what is permitted. Turns out, it's not that bad, I can put deer stands, or shooting houses up as long as I don't sink them in cement. The planted trees are in rows, and I am permitted to cut down the "volunteers", trees that grew on their own between the rows. I can also do away with the invasive trees, like Bradford pear and privet, which as it turned out, a large pear tree was in a perfect spot to begin cutting my way in. This is how thick it is in there, and these are Willow Oaks (hate them), which do not bend to let you through. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/RzNjjGm.jpg[/IMG] I cut the pear tree down, and a few volunteers to get a spot large enough to pull my truck into, out of sight from public right-of-way. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/j3mgwOh.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/DpcXmIk.jpg[/IMG] On that first trip, I managed to cut a trail all the way to the creek, you can make out the power cord on the left running my electric polesaw. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/IMkyToD.jpg[/IMG] I camped out there for the first time, and even though it had rained hard that morning, I managed to get a fire going, which was good because it dropped to 29 deg that night. Stayed pretty basic, no cooking, just an MRE, and some green tea and water for beverages because I wasn't even sure I would spend the night on the first trip. Notice I have a bag of mulch there on my tailgate, I planted a wild plum, two pecan, and an elderberry from TN tree day program too on that trip. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Kx9g5Af.jpg[/IMG] The creek is full of bass and other fish, has some beaver, wood, and/or mallard duck plus I am sure a few water moccasins though have yet to see any snakes yet. This is from the North side, it opens up toward the middle about 200 yards in [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Bln9yKo.jpg[/IMG] This was taken in warmer month at the middle somewhere. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/CjCLKC9.jpg[/IMG] I'll continue on a follow-up post with the second over-night. [/QUOTE]
