I have been fooling around with a 4X8 design, and even a 4X9 stretch, and I am still having trouble finding storage for everything. Am I missing something, or do I have too much?
Here is my list so far...
Cooler (1 large or 2 small)
Stove - I understand that propane is a problem at higher elevations... how high is a problem? (I spend most of my time at sea-level, where propane is great.)
Water jug.
General galley storage (salt, pepper, knives, forks, plates, pots, etc.)
Food for a day or 2 that doesn't go in the coolers. (bread, bagels, chips, etc.)
battery and charger
propane storage (any thoughts on the 20 pound tanks that get exchanged everywhere? It seems like fewer people refill - though I haven't been to campgrounds lately.) White gas has the same or more problems in terms of ventilation, security, etc.
Small grill - like the Smokey Joe that folks recommend
charcoal for a day or 2
small fire extinguisher.
Do people use anything beside tongs and a long spatula?
What size Dutch oven are people using? And what is required for safe use? My mom cooked with one of these.
folding chairs X 2
Table - either folding, or one that attaches to the side of the tear or both. (Need a small one to set the cocktails on.)
Lantern - I really like some of the paraffin lamps that they sell for marine use. I could make use of them on the boat as well, but it means carrying another fuel - kerosene or paraffin. As a kid we had a white gas/dual fuel lantern to go with the Coleman stove. the propane lanterns seem to burn a lot of fuel.
Then there is the pure bulk - like paper towels, and some bathroom tissue.
trash storage... should be able to get rid of this at most campgrounds, but then there is recyclables, and for the times you aren't at a regular campground. So some airtight container....
This can't all fit in a tear, can it?
