After a busy shift at work, I dragged my butt home to find the wife had planned us spending the day together hitting garage sales. Great. A day looking a a bunch of stuff I really don't need,or want for that matter. Oh well, I climbed in the truck and away we went.
After several stops, I spotted a sign for one at a mini-storage place. They were sellin off all the stuff in the units that hadn't paid thier rent in months. These can be good I thought.
I looked over a lot of junk that I couldn't believe people would pay money to store, until I spotted a white canvas bag in the corner of one unit. I peeked inside, to find a couple of crisp clean canvas something ir anothers in it, looked like a rainfly or awning or something. Imade an offer, and it was mine. I was thinking I could use the canvas for a rainfly for deer camp or at shoots.
AS I was carrying it to the truck, I spotted a big set of iron campfire cooking gear- the grates,pot hangers etc. I've been looking for some for taking to MBH Rendezvous or the GLLI. There were so many parts and pieces, I still havent figured out how to use them all.
The wife then came around the corner with two blanket sized pieces of brown wool, perfect for making me a longhunter pullover.
I got home and took the canvas out of the bag, and was surprised to find it was a wedge tent, brand spankin new. Overall, I think the day turned out good, and I got all this stuff dirt cheap.
This is one set of irons. There are two of these sets.This is the nicer of the two.
This is part ofthe other set, there are some other parts I have no idea how to set up, but there is enough stuff to have 4 campfires going cooking food. I already have a good collection of pots, pans and ovens to go with this stuff.
