really nice!

I am brainstroming an idea.
I was thinking about trying to live in a tent and decided that I might be able to live in a tent inside a tiki hut.
The walls will be chainlink fence covered with woven in matting.
So it will have walls for wind block and a gate at one end.
It's only for a temporary shelter.
I'm trying to figure out how to live at my fishcamp cheaply for a year or 2 incase I get a layoff from my job. I think I would be recalled in a 1 or so years.

fishbuck - 5-11-2017 at 01:23 PM

How about a trailer that floats too?

msteve1014 - 5-11-2017 at 01:37 PM

You have big dreams.
Buy the trailer.

fishbuck - 5-11-2017 at 02:04 PM

Yes, I've been called a dreamer.
But isn't Baja about dreams? Baja to me means thinking way out of the box sometimes.
That's part of the fun.

I think its usually about being sun burned and wind burned.

Excellent! Please post photos.

But.....wait........maybe a tent inside a tiki hut inside a yurt. :O

A palapa on a concrete slab and a trailer underneath works.

Are great suggestions and comments thank you.

A boat is only a hole in the water to pour money into!

Buy a cheap 20-24 ft trailer If you shop you can find them for way under $5000, older but workable. I like my own toilet, shower and bed inside when the wind starts to blow and the rain is horizontal. You gotta dump the crap once in a while, fill the water tank and buy propane if you use it but beyond that its cheap. We've had a 40 yr old one for almost 5 years and spend 7-10 weeks a year in it and it costs us basically nothing.
Just make sure you find one that has not ever had roof leaks. You'll kiss a lot of frogs before you find a princess.

fishbuck - 5-13-2017 at 01:51 PM

Yeah, it always comes back around to a trailer.

fishbuck - 5-13-2017 at 02:51 PM

This looks pretty comfie.

msteve1014 - 5-13-2017 at 06:43 PM

Get real....stop dreaming, start living.

woody with a view - 5-13-2017 at 06:44 PM

Nochit!

fishbuck - 5-13-2017 at 07:08 PM

I'm stuck for now. So dreaming is all I got.
But thank you for caring:cool:

I am planning one of my commando style fishing trips to Bola for June -July. Probably a 4 day weekend.
Can't wait.

Those bamboo structures probably arent as easy to tow to a new location, as a trailer, either.

We are now approaching the age when there are cheap, used toy haulers out there, too. They are finally old enough. How about a small one with an ATV or moto, being towed by a Tacoma or an F-150? Basically, most ANY vehicle with a 5k towing capacity might work, so you could go SUV, but I like a truck bed. For a short day trip to somewhere really remote, you could put the atv/moto in the back of the bed and drive to the remote area.

There might literally be no where you couldn't go, and relatively inexpensively. Get one with the springs above the axle(s). If the trailer is stopped short by sand or mud, deploy the exploration pod and day use the area, spend the night and then scram. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Oh yeah, just have a damn tropical bamboo scene painted on the side. It's more practical.

If you find a locale you like, contract for an area to put the toy hauler on cement for a few months. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Buy a trailer. I live in "Tin City" they give trailers away here. Or an RV. They might pay you to take it.

Hook - 5-14-2017 at 08:49 AM

Here's an interesting, simple, unconventional toy hauler. Dont necessarily need to store the toy inside, in an environment like Baja. Pop out beds can be real nice on hot nights. On cold nights, just sleep inside.

It's a big long for real off-roading, but a nice, compact living space. Tow it around, until you find the location of your choice and buy bigger.

Yeah, a trailer is a nice option but you have to look for the model that fits your preference
