    Crazell:
  I hope the TP is repairable, I really like TP's wouldn't fit into the East, but then neither do I or a early Jake Hawkens so maybe someday.

Now i set mine up a little different.Same basic design,except i fold in the side walls to make it enclosed. Nornally they go straight out and that end is open.You can make a small fire in the front to heat it up and not be all smokey...I'm glad the pictures could help.

Thank you for giving me a couple of ways to set it up

We're working on ours - same old Baker from 20+ years ago, outfitted with new poles, ropes and iron. Can't wait!

Here's a question open to all: What about the seating? Is there any historic evidence of these criss-cross-type or other type of chairs being used in trapper camps? It's a debate our group has been yakking about for some time. While it's more comfortable sitting on an chair than on the ground, I wonder if it's proper and acceptable.  I have my own opinion, but am ready to be swayed by consensus of the community.

It does not make any sense to me that a mountainer would pack around chairs.

[hmm]Hmmm, depends on how decrepit he might be, I guess.

Cool camp!  But are those trees HC/PC?

good question about the folding chairs ! those criss cross chairs go back a long way apparently , but I think they were more something a military commander would have had in camp ! here`s a site you can check  ! it`s interesting !
