I am in Lakewood, working my 2nd job. The land is in Timberon, but trying over the phone to get my
road cut or I will have to hike in with my materials. I am working straight through possibly September so a road trip to your location will be impossible for now. In one of the videos it was mentioned that Home Depot had materials. There is also a Lowe's being built in Carlsbad. If I knew what to look for in the way of materials I could stock up on these for when I can get up to mountains again. I have wintered up in the mountains west of Capitan before and know the conditions of 70 mph winds prior to storms coming in, hail, and snow accumulation. Also, how can you cook and keep warm. This is also bear and cougar country, and the state has stopped controlling the cougar population. The wildlife rangers are spread too thin to control the bear population as well. If...Hexayurt will not work for these conditions, I will return to my previous idea of wait until the road is cut and convert a storage building into a cabin. Whatever I am gathering in the way if information will be shared with friends and family who have lost their jobs and homes, now living in tent cities.
