this is broken down into sections – disclaimer, I don’t travel light… you never know when the shits gonna hit the fan in the Rockies, this is of course when I am not going on a backpacking trip without the dogs and kids but that’s a dif list.

Clothing and bedding

This is a list of what we take, the wish list is at the end, as I add things to my arsenal I will cross them of the wish list

Clothes, based on the season and duration, I always take cold weather and warm weather clothes. Always take WAY to many clothes – esp if you have kids. For example, if I am going for three days and two nights I will take 6 changes of clothes – my rule of thumb is 3 days = 6 days worth of clothes

I have several new projects going now and the time has flown by. Most of these revolve around work but a couple are just for fun like this new little trailer we got last weekend. We LOVE camping and have outgrown the capacity of the jeep, 2 adults, 2 great danes, 2 kids and all the camping gear and I wasn’t about to trade the jeep (F THAT!) so we got a little utility trailer…

It is a 1940 International truck bed turned utility trailer… its pretty sweet, of course it needs some work but that’s half the fun. I have taken off the fenders (cant really tell in the pic but they were beat to hell) I am going to install a new axle, new suspension, sand and paint it to match the jeep and will put the same tires on it that I have on the jeep. Then it needs a new tool box to replace the one thats on it, a lid with a roof rack and then stuffed full of goodies like camping gear… should be fun, oh I didnt mention I am replacing the lights and wiring harness. Oh and new fenders… and thats just the trailer. Wait till I get into the jeep build… .
