I actually don't have a picture of one of the one's Spiffy mentions. Made from scraps layin around. If anyone would take a pic (with the label, if still on it, I would appreciate it.)
So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....

Points deducted from Gypsie! Making me cringe and avert my eyes from the screen will always get points deducted. -1 for the image, -1 more for punitive damages.

Sunshower here. The 5 gallon bag. I also always carry a 30 foot 1 inch thick braided nylon rope and a nylon towing strap with hooks.

Here 'tis, the original, limited edition, Gypsie Tote. Used mine on more than one camp trip.

Point for Westy for the cool carrier. Also, point for the Sunshower - but lots of people have them, so it may become a "standard" point.

Gypsie is still at -2.

My eyes! The image! It burns!

by my reckonin' I am only at a -1,

1 point for the $12 awning from pg 1
and
-2 for the offensive sling from pg 3

I'll try harder and keep the unmentionables unmentioned.

pjalau, I think Gypsie should get at least one point (I'd give more--->I'm just sayin) for the clever label on his personal invention. :profileright:

I'll have to come up with a picture of our camp kitchen set up but we have a kitchen box that houses all the spices, utensils, plates, nesting pots/pans...everything you need. It sets up on a nice wooden folding table. Hambone laughs at me but he uses it at least one time every camp out.

I'm gonna give another plug for a friend. Westy78 hardwired LED lights into his bus for camping. Easy on the battery and has red and white setings on the lights, perfect for camping.
