I started sleeping outside
 

.. on the deck. I sleep with a some quilts laid down and a pillow. my dog guards me.... first night was 80 deg when I went to sleep, got up about 4am it was still 75 deg...

it's weird since I'm sleeping 'on the floor' I now have an infinity view bed... and I'm wondering do I need the .45 for the bigger cats? I don't think they will 'stalk a human' with a big dog there... I worry about a fucking rattler climbing on to me while I'm cutting zzzz's

Just don't sleep out there when you're on you're period, wait until your cycle is over. You don't want coyotes or wolves to get your scent :2 cents:

You have a mauling fetish??

OMG. You didn't just say that.

Bigger cats like what?

Here sleep on this elevated hunting platform, it's portable, around $200 and it can go up to 10 feet high. I don't want anything happening to your dog. You can also use it to shoot porn at cool angles on the property :thumbsup

You can buy it here

If you become a club member with them it's $197

Here are some of it's features:

Sturdy steel construction

4' x 4' foot platform

Flip-up trapdoor

9"w. steps with handrails

500-lb. weight capacity

8 universal mounting brackets

10'h. to platform

I'd be more concerned with the spiders.

Ive been homeless too in the past...

cougars on occasion in the area

3000 ft is high enough for me :2 cents:

living in the country you see spiders all the time

yep me too...

Don't fear the cougars.

The natural born predators that can grab and eat you like that:

I wouldn't carry anything less than a .45... I'm still trying to sell my H&R 922, Savage Arms .32 and LeFever 20 gauge is anyone is interested... :)

Exactly my point.

Set up a perimeter like arnold did in the predator movie...can you buy claymores in the USA?....if not ruburself with mud to be invisible and stalk the big cats and snakes with a knife in your mouth...the element of surprise must be on your side...

I block off one into the patio with a couple of chairs in the table so my poor dog can relax

before I did that he mostly sat up all night long walking from one end to the other

I don't think the cats want to fuck with my dog he's a hundred and seventy pounds

Either way we'll all have a moment to think about it before anything happens

A friend in Santa Paula, in Ventura County north of where Brian is, heard a commotion on his porch, and went to investigate. He found a cougar carrying off his 100lb dog, which the cougar had just killed.

These are not animals you should fuck with.

I agree... we get notice in the news when the cats are around the area.. in Cornel I could hear the horses when the cats came around...

the damn view though Marco.... nothing out there, no TV, no radio, nothing just the night and the world...

The cats are always around dude.

It's the middle of summer right after the heat wave low water supply low food supply.

The news doesn't have your phone number to call you when a cat is on the next hill over on its way to your place, nor do they give hourly or daily updates on the news you weirdo :1orglaugh

If i slept outside id get picked up by the cops.. whould say bum wandering outside and through me int he brink...

Grapesoda is one of those fancy "free range" bums living in the hills of southern California living off the land & weed & wild vegan pussy with his canine & feline sidekicks in tow.

that was exactly what I was going to post.. gotta get up earlier. :1orglaugh

I don't like sleeping outside with all the noises.. that and the fact I'm up all night and sleep during the day.

All kidding aside, it sounds like fun....

I've done a lot of camping in my time but never slept unprotected. Way to many incidents have occurred even in a tent.. But even walls and doors sometimes don't help.. I live in an old late 1800s hotel. It's too big for 1 person to keep track of everything that goes on.. I have a door for my cat to come in and out of as she pleases on the first floor. Well, the neighborhood critters have figured this out. The first 2 floors I use as storage for my business and the 3rd is my loft. The loft is impenetrable but you're in no mans land at night on the other floors.. So far I've come to find a opossum decided to take up shelter here during the winter. I caught him eating the cat food one night.. Several other cats.. For the past week I noticed my cat was blowing through some food so I knew I had a new visitor. Last night I met Mr. Raccoon. He greeted me at the top of my stairs. I scared him just as much as he did me so he moved along rather quickly.. Haven't seen or heard from him since, yet... Luckily my visitors have been more afraid of me than me of them so far though.. Also helps that I'm in town I guess.. If I were in the country I'd probably be rethinking the cat door.

don't forget the conspiracy :2 cents:

noise? the humming birds are a bit loud when they come check me out... the damn hummers even buzzed me at the building when the feeder was empty.... the conspiracy acts out once in a while...

yup.. just moved out of a 4300 sq ft place I was living in with my dog....pain in the ass to get a coffee or take a leak... 50 yards, up 2, 1/2 flights of steps to the office....if I get killed, I get killed... get hit by a car, killed by a crazy BF, die from cancer from eating pussy... killed by a cat... big deal...

all kidding aside.... there is a very spiritual aspect ... I feel part of this place now..... good night.. going out now.....

I'm making a change again here real soon as well. 3 years of this place has met my wits end. I have a place I've been working on for retirement but it's about 1.5 hours away from my son so that permanent move will be awhile.. About to move the business end elsewhere and I'm thinking about getting a houseboat or something for a while.. I don't want to buy anything else in this market..

LPink is way ahead of you..

be cool if it was lpink.... I'm building a 20ftx30ft or 40ft tented deck to live on in good weather. if I wanted to live wild up here they would let me

A .22 should take care of the bigger cats.

contrary to popular belief, I do NOT like to kill stuff. pretty sure the high intensity LED flashlight will drive the cats off

You guys not have mosquitoes out there? snakes and other things keep to themselves for the most part. bugs don't


like a tabby?

Shhhhh....I'm trying to "help" him.
