Looks like your 'plan' is pulling itself together nicely. Even noticed ya have the rake
set so you can give yerself a final neaten up on the way out the door.
:applause: , :thumbsup: , :thumbsup: !

Gotta keep the hair in shape while out in the woods!

Actually every one that camps should carry a rake to clean up around the fire pit area prior to building a fire.

So off on another adventure .

Going to have to come up with a plan to keep dust out! It’s coming in the back door when rolling down gravel at 40 mph!

We were visiting a buddy who was Antelope hunting near the South fork or the John Day river (Oregon).

a quick fix for dust leakage is 2" masking tape over the door seams just before you hit the dirt roads. i also tape over the air vents inside.

Thanks for the pix!!! Beautiful country out there. Looks like your Camp-Chef
did a good job toasting your pie iron & contents.

Yeah that’s my plan for now. I already do the vents. Next trip out into the dirt I’ll tape the doors.

It sure does! I usually don’t pack it but I had a big group to cook dinner for. This weekend I’ll be using it again for a large cook too! More on that adventure later!

Welded on a swivel jack to replace the stock one. The low height and short tongue & short tow rig have made for some pinch situations.

dirtsailor, Howdy;

A few memories you've allowed to surface, Crab boat and work boat races from the Chesapeake Bay
and some of the bumper stickers that the 'older' folks wore on their trucks, "If God wanted boats to
be made of fiberglass that's what he'd have made trees of."
The steam boats remind me of "The African Queen" nice quiet chuga-da, chuga-da, chuga-da ...

Thanks for the memories.

Installed my solar panels. Didn’t want to roof mount but it made the most sense.

Removed the stock tongue jack. Looks a little naked without it!

Added a tongue box. Nothing fancy Harbor Freight Haul Master. It will house the battery and that’s about it. Maybe some random items.

Yes I will be adding some venting before installing the battery.
