"If you head down to the dollhouses, the only way to water is the 1,000 foot hike. You won't bring up more than a couple liters if you need water. STEEP a.......r little uses. Only have to get it out 1x a day. Plus, I can take 1 extra gallon at the beginning of the trip. Also have the NATO fuel cans and filler spouts. Great cans for the roof since they typically don't leak. Still need to dig out old trip photos and scan them in."
Thanks! I will have to copy and paste to my mom and see exactly where she is taking us. That is a great idea on the H20 containers! I have two five gallon containers and was looking at getting a third but I like your idea better. It made me think about two of those collapsible spouted containers in the 2.5 gallon size. It will make daily filling easier, as well as packing. I plan on bringing 14-15 gallons for four people for four days. Thank you so much for the borrow offer!
I have been doing the configuring in my head and begun the purchasing. I ordered my extension basket bolt-on roof rack. I have the car top carrier for the rear stock rack. The basket will be for the tools, recovery bag, misc crap tool box, gas, chairs, portapotty and such. Fitting the coolers, water, and food in the back is going to be a PITA but with the collapsibles, I should have more options.
Am I missing anything else? Gotta check the tarp grommets and leads this weekend.
