This is Part 3 in this series of the old Maine hunting camp from 1940’s, 50’s, & 60’s. My father, grandfather,and other relatives used to hunt deer, wild hares, bear, & game birds. They also caught many of fish. The game they harvested on these hunts were to feed themselves & family. Sometimes the old gravel road to camp was washed out, and the men had to park their vehicles at the beginning of the road, and walk in. When the road was muddy & washed out in the Springtime, the men repaired the road themselves. In the Winter months they parked their vehicles at the beginning of the road (many times at a friends home nearby) and they would snow shoe in.
Their refrigeration was natural, either using the built-in window unit “natural camp refrigeration” to place cold goods in, or in the warmer months cold drinks would be kept in the natural spring (down the wooded path) where water was “oh so good”, and ice cold. They always had a metal bucket or two where the spring water was fetched, and brought in for drinking, cooking, & doing dishes. A long handled dipper was always kept in the bucket (serve yourself).
Whatever needed to be done at the camp in order to maintain & keep it running smoothly, was a done as a team. A helping hand was never far away.
The camp never had electricity, or plumbing. They used an outhouse if they needed to “go”.
I hope you enjoy this video (part 3), and thank you for stopping by.
