rfmcrx Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Me, my brother and a buddy headed out saturday to big east lake to camp the night in a quincy and do some fishing. It took us 3 hours to build the quincy. The fish were on, i was catching jumbo perch but no splake! It was ana awsome experience and great memories. Here are the pics.

solopaddler Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Very cool, thanks for posting those pic's! (next time use photobucket ) I've fished Big East a couple times in softwater and always had to work for our fish. I've gone winter camping/ice fishing several times N/E of Whitney. There's some excellent lakes there adjacent to the park. Edited January 17, 2011 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Good on you for having a go. It's a different experience from fair weather camping and can be quite rewarding. Used to take scouts out for winter camping. They'd have a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mHooked Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Love the "Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum" promo shot in the 1st pic! Looks like fun. What did you sleep on? tarp, foam, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucG Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Cool! Must have been a neat experience. What was the interior temp compared to the outside temp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfmcrx Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 we slept on a layer of pine branches with a tarp on top of that and some airmatress.then 2 sleeping bages each. It was really warm inside the quincy and i dont knwo the exact temp, but it was cold sunday morning. I would deffinatly do it again, only this time i would leave the water in the cooler. the worst part was getting the gear to site and building the quincy. we are thinking bout going back to the spot later this winter.

Sinker Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I've winter camped a few times too, and in my experience, the quincy is the way to go. I froze my balls off in a tent LOL S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) When we took the scouts out, we needed a shelter for 12 to 15 people. Stick frame for a roof with a black tarp on top. Black tarp for floor, overlapped at the ground. Snow piled against the side wall as high as possible to seal the shelter against wind. Straw on the floor to insulate. Got quite comfy in there for 2 nights. A snow drift quinzy is the way to go if there are only 2-3 people.
