What I had in mind was a list with an explanation of what you think every good jungle must have. To lead off, I say "Good Jungles must have a good source of clean WATER."

I've always been a fan of the 'ol coutch, but the back-up wooden chairs have to be around for thoughs extra musky days.
It's also great to have a section of tall grass to lay in...especially in the fall when the grass dries and makes for some great napping.

Some serious privacy.
This is a problem back east, where the real estate is more crowded. You can't just light campfires anywhere near the yards in my area, someone will show up to see what's burning.

A steel drum with a bunch of burned trash in it, a giant american flag hanging from the trees, lots of old tires, Junked-up hide-away bed couches with no cushions, and lots of JUNK! Assorted crap and abandoned junk that no one can use. It looks like shit, but it gives personality.

a good location would have clear skies at night so you can see the stars while doing your work.

i usually start by putting a sunburst yellow in the freezer. i'll take a festival green and put that badboy on the grill for approximately 30 seconds.

i'm a big fan of the stock tip / wd 40 straw mix caps and voila!

you've got a nice jungle!

All the people who pay like 10+ bucks for cans of jungle green should take that one to heart.

That's really most of the shit that's in the little hobo camp in my yards...It doesen't look like anyone uses it anymore, though. It's been unkept for a while. There's multiples around, though

on a jungle side note, if you have lots of old lemon yellow rustos and you make the jungle concoction they spray fine with skinnies(older cans) and are thick too boot.

sorry kabar, back to your scheduled programming...

Hey, I'm not bitching--this is a grafitti board, after all, LOL. Okay. Oh, don't forget a FIRE RING made out of something, either rocks, chunks of concrete, an old Budd tire rim or something to contain your camp fire.

what about your cardboard and wooden palettes tosleep on? canopy for rain shelter? a table of some sort is a good idea. cover too. what about a hook or two for gunboats? a good piss spot (my jungle has a drainage ditch, it's perfect.) i cant think of anything else....

im not big on the whole permanent abode near a layup or yard, but when i go bench i usually bring the following:

my milkcrate for sitting or fence benching
a book
maybe some music, but then i cant hear the ground rumble or the chain or signals as they head closer
a peach iced tea or fanta
sometimes a piece of paper and pen or even a microcassette recorder if im feeling fancy
of course my digital camera and a disposable for package trading...

thats the fr8lover recepie. i got this spot by the bushes behind a small produce store right on the mainline. i set up shop and enjoy! winter time i have a depot i can sit at a picnic table and try to keep warm, they got a fence and thats where the milkcrate comes into hand.

I got an abandoned concrete salt factory. The electricity's been on for a couple years??? So, chairs, a small fridge, table, tv, radio. All of lifes necessities. But, it's a favorite heroin addict hang out. Had to masterlock the door and shit.

Parlaiment---That sounds more like a squat than a jungle. Pretty cool though. Conceptually, I think of jungles as being more "outdoorsy" than a concrete factory building. I've seen several under freeway overpasses, and a couple that were built over building foundations left when a big building was demolished. My jungles are all pretty much open to the weather, although I have one with a permenantly rigged blue plastic tarp and another one where I used a plastic drop cloth as well as a blue tarp I scrounged out from underneath a load of illegally dumped tree branches. I wound up using the tree branches for firewood and the tarp for a tent. Hell, yeah.

That sounds cool as fuck...I wish I knew where some shit like that was...There was this huge television factory Where I lived. At one point it was the largest Color television plant in the world...Anyway My friends and I would get fucked up and run around exploring this place all Summer long. It was the hugest shit I'd ever seen. They tore it down to make way for some technical college campus or someshit...I love abandoned factories/warehouses/obscure structures...Etc.
