ChrisF Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi Guys , I have a small hut being built , its mainly to be used as a shooting/firing point , out on a friends farm , its going to have a pot belly stove in it for heating & cooking when needed . It will look down a valley , on our side I have access to putting targets out to 860m quite easily , on the other side access is a bit harder as it belongs to another farmer , if I get his OK , then I can get out to 1600m . Happy with 0-860m on our side of the valley , as this is pretty respectable distance , and the farm is only 20 mins drive from my home town , will post pics IF I ever can get back into photobucket . If anyone has any ideas of things I should put or use in the hut , fire away . Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Yeap , Had thought of reloading bench/spot , my intention is to NOT store anything expensive in the Hut , even thou that means more stuff in car etc . Have thought of 2 small fold down bunks for my 2 little monkeys ( 5 & 7 yrs old ) , will have a water line run to the outside corner with a tap on it , and the farmers going to get a BBQ for it & stock the hut with wood . I have thought of a rifle rack & maybe a chain & padlock as well , mainly to secure rifles completely when we are asleep in the hut ( also keeps naughty monkeys safe ) . And target supplies and gear , paper/hammer etc , will leave a cheap gas ring in hut , but NOT the gas bottle ? Looking forward to getting it sorted before winter sets in . Hut has cost me $200 & the cast iron NZ pot belly stove $300 , so its only cost me $500 so far , I think its going to be the best $500 I have ever spent .

gunner Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Shelfs or racks for staking stuff. Blow up matresses , gaffer tape , stove / bbq "" ventilation -carbon monoxide "" , throw away ones are ok to use i do quite allot . Sleeping bag . Gongs . + tea bags , home made soup , water, milk . Sausage, burger , baps brown sauce . Bacon for possible brekky , beans more sausage . Warm clothes . Bog roll or but wipes lol ? A good portable DAB radio ! Absolute for me . Bins, spotting scope . Jees this is probably only half of it ...........Razzle etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagger Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nothing constructive to add per say, but I think Bradders is maybe getting confused with the Wesh? This is coming from a sheep farmer(not Welsh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hut gets put onto its final site today , so thats cool , & last week I fired up the potbelly stove in the backyard to test it , seems quite good so far , and will not worry about surface rust its minor in the big picture , and adds to the rustic look . Really looking forward to getting the stove/flu installed into the hut , and firing her up , it will be awesome . Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Might I suggest hammocks for the kids. Even those cheap net ones would probably do. Easy to store and fun for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yeah , Naa , I hate hammocks , I hate the curved banana shape it ends up being . I will have a small fold down/up bunk , monkey sized . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikka4Sika Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Yeah naa , I did not mention onions or baked beans ( aka rocket fuel ) at all . You really should get a smoke and CO detector , too many have thought they are a waste of money or knew better...http://bfy.tw/Bgna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
