"...when a hiker stumbles across an easy chair

that makes sense.

Ya know, that don't sound like a half bad idea. I might just
have to do that some day. *:/ *I have the usual lawn type chairs,
but a thick padded recliner sounds like the cats ass.
Vinyl of course, due to the usual fowl fallout I'd probably encounter.

Of course I'd then be motivated to add an end table for my radio,
small fridge to keep adult beverages, snacks, etc. Maybe a
flat screen so I can watch Wonder Woman and Lonesome Dove.
I wonder how a lost hiker would deal with something like that?
Would they bark at the moon? Or just sit down and drink all
my adult beverages while watching reruns of Lost in Space?
Only The Shadow and young Will Robinson know for sure.

This would be a good way to avoid ever getting lost. *Just sit down in the
chair, and another hiker is CERTAIN to amble along to ask you what you are
doing!

In my case I would be the one asking questions. IE: Uh Hoss.. you do
know you are on private property don't you?
Myself, I'm never lost. I've usually got a GPS on me if I'm in the
woods. Besides, I don't own enough land to really get too lost.

I'm fixing to add surveillance devices to my place in the sticks.
IE: trail cameras. I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and
plan to plant it next time I get up there. I'm thinking about building
a home brew trail cam for my next one. I want one that gives me
ultra sharp color pix for daytime use so I think I'm going to build
one around a good camera. I'd like to plant another one near
my front gate so I can see if I get any trespassers coming in.
I could use the one I have now for that. It's got an IR flash for
night use, so you can't see any flash at all unless you look
directly at the cam, and then you just see a blob of red from
the LED's.
Actually, I've never had anyone come on my property since I've
owned it. Or at least while I was there. It's pretty secluded.
If anyone came around, they would be more likely to be
hunters than hikers. Deer and other varmints lurk about the place.
But the cams will let me know what's sneaking around when
I'm not there including the animals that roam the place.
But I think it would be kind of neat to have a recliner out in the
deep woods. I even have the perfect spot already in mind for it.
