I was wondering if anybody out there has built a sheep camp also known as a sheepherders wagon. Any drawings or ideas on that would be helpfull. especially a source for a cheep base to start on.
Thanks

Thats it although I like the canvas covered sheeps camps more traditional.

I would assume a farm wagon would be a good starting base.:D

For a more permanent camp maybe?:D :D

Yeah a farm wagon would be good but I haven't found one for sale around here (Elko County, Nevada) yet.

Don't have enough rocks for that on my property egon or I probably might would consider that.

I already found that site, but just about anytime someone starts calling things antique the gets rather high. They also make a reproduction sheep camp that looks pretty nice. For about $12,000. Thanks

Anybody know a good source for reletively inexpensive rubber tire wagon running gear?

Thanks

How do you plan on moving it around and what kind of terrain? Redbug's post of the popup isn't that far-fetched depending on what you are going to use to tow it. For mild terrain, you can fab a lift kit and put on some bigger wheels/tires just like the 4X4 boys do. You can get a used popup pretty cheap and it already has most of the comforts of home.

I'd thought about a pop up trailer but I am heavily influenced the the more traditional aspects of the sheep camp.

As for the pop haveing the comforts of home. A decent sheep camp would, in my opinion, be much more comfortable. I being 6'4" tall the taller ceiling would be and added bonus

EGON: I have googled for sites and found that one among others but IL is a little bit far to go from nevada. I probably forgot to write it in the last post but I meant to say any running gear around northern nevada, southern idaho, western utah area. Thanks though

DEFECTIV: Nope

I gotta say, that does look comfy and you can't beat the nostalgia. Will you actually be sheep ranching with it?

You might want to check with someplace like Northern Hydraulics for basic running gear. Some of their basic 4 wheel wagon stuff might work.

No I won't be sheep ranching in it. Sheep are to much of a pain. You got shear them every year, and they are also rather delicate to the point they are a pain during lambing season. Cows maybe down the road at the moment a place to hang my hat while building my house and a hunting camp. I'll be checking that northern hydraulics thanks.

maybe I missed something but all I could find there (northern tool) were atv sized wagons.
