[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 54204, member: 367"] Lunker, The simplest little contraption I ever made was makeshift sled out of a half sheet of plywood with 2x2 runners and 1x2 for structure all the way around the top and rolled roofing on it for grip. No holes in the sled I just sat on it , I used a sheet of 3/4 '' silver foil backed rigid insulation and made it fold in the middle with a duct tape hinge so it would cover 2 sides and used 2 or 3 bungy straps to hold it in place, the silver foil cut the wind and gave a solar effect to reflected the sun and it got pretty dang comfy just being out of the wind. Even with just two sides it seemed like I could always position it so I could block the wind and catch some sun. I had a propane tank and heater for cold days and for cooking. I need to build another, I left it outside and it deteriorated to the point of extinction but I put many miles on it and had the world by the tail. That was when the only portable you would see was a 4x8 homemade fold up. Now that you got me started , I made a 4x8 one with a floor on only one half . It was very light and had black polly pit liner from the oilfield, Basically a tarp but the black was nice and warm. Used to get a few looks when I stayed inside and took off walking to a new spot. I never had a good auger so I was a hole pirate , Open floor was a must. [/QUOTE]
