Hej-Ho, Folks!
I am an outdoor writer and outdoorsman of advanced years and experience who, by 2003, had seen fit to stop carrying water and gear to a remote cabin on his back -- five trips in, five trips out each season of use -- and bought a Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV. Later on, by reason of upstate NY winters and an aging and much wounded back, I added a snowplow. Since that time, I have found that the ATV would be able to accomplish a lot more we do at our home were we to invest that wide variety of add-ons offered as after-market accessories for the ATV. And I would but ... I'm cheap: instead, I make do with a small variety of less attractive but no less efficient inventions that include the use of plastic/nylon tarps, the 8,000# come-along, a winch, and a variety of pulleys that make my day (easier)! Why am I here? To learn what else is out there to entice me to spend money instead of so much time inventing one-time use or multi-use contraptions that, all in all, take up too much space or get entangled in themselves and among themselves; and to take a look at a variety of plans I hear are posted for interested persons: first up in that range...the portable outhouse or, if more permanent, the easy build outhouse, which implies easy tear-down outhouse: the woods are lovely, dark and deep, and I am all for keeping as much that way as I am able.
