If you find that you’re in need of things maybe post a list so folks can see what they have extra this is a reason I don’t throw good stuff out at least that’s what I tell the wife. wink


…. Your shed burned down … Marty lost his only shelter and transportation

… let’s keep things in perspective here

.. what we need is a go fund me at the top of the page … I don’t know how to make one but there’s people here that do




The point was the incentive to rebuild you have no clue what I’m doing and what’s being done but you can’t miss the opportunity to play your games talk about perspective. SOSDD

Hey Marty, glad to see you made it through. Rough times! We had a midnight house fire in 95. I slept on the top floor but made it out fine.

(I figured I better hurry up and post in this thread before the young'ns get your thread deleted)

I don't know how, but if someone sets it up count me in.

You can PayPal money but a go fund me might get more results.

PayPal friends and family or mailing to his address cost nothing extra but the fund me place will take a percentage. FYI

Stopped doing that a bit ago. Started flipping vehicles and my inventory burned up. No fire coverage.

Thank you for your concern.

I found that they ask a % , but you do have the choice not to pay them anything.

Thinking an auction would be a good idea.
Maybe a special separate donation to Marty through a Tman fund?

Absolutely. Low sugar non processed foods diet.

69 years, 6', 195#, 34" waist. After I finish cleaning up/sifting thru the burnt remains I will get back to hiking&strength training. Been hard at that since June 1st so a bit of a break won't hurt to much.
Thank you for asking.

How long was your camper that burnt up? I bet we can keep an eye on Facebook marketplace and find one reasonably priced that everyone could chip in towards.

I think they charge either by taking a percentage off the top the last one they had they just tipped themselves that might be a no tax on tips angle.

Hey Marty did the fire you had make the news out there? Also what town are you closest to? Are there any RV dealers nearby? With the amount of trade ins that the dealers get in especially in the spring I wonder if one would shoot you a heck of a deal on one and get some good PR in the process. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic and I'm not from your area and I don't know any RV dealers or people who work at a dealership but maybe someone here does. If a Go Fund Me gets established it would be nice if it was promoted in your area and it may get the attention of a dealership.

Like I said maybe I'm dreaming a little too much and I certainly don't want to offend you by suggesting that. I wish you the best to recover from this.

King size pillow.
A couple pair of jeans / slacks
Under garments, socks
Assorted flannel shirts and pullover hooded sweat shirts
Shin high muck boots
Gore Tex lace camo leather boots,
Indoor / outdoor slip on wool lined slipper shoes
Extreme cold brown denim hooded coat. An old, but new condition jacket I had for cold weather trapping.
Long john body suit
Insulated camo bibs
Para cord bundles
knit toboggan beanie hats, 3 colors
Insulated leather and waterproof gloves

I may have forgotten a couple of items however he should be in pretty good shape for basic clothing and sleeping comfort for the short term.

I am sure he will be needing cookware, utensils, plates,silverware, coffee pot type of things also.

We have developed a type of relief fund over the years to help chip in to friends and folks that we feel can use some help under these types of tragedies.


I believe that all the care packages have arrived. Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

If you have family or people you care for I can’t think of anything stupider. Had a couple guys here with little kids that dangerously rescued a dog out on ice in deep cold water. I get people loving their dogs but they are not heroes to me.
