___I touched on this in another thread, but I thought I'd see if it floats on its own. Basically, a hand pulled/pushed wagon/cart designed & built to carry survival/camping supplies over long distance while maintaining a relative comfort level.
___I already have such a wagon & since I doubt many others do (if any) I though tto build some enthusiasm for the idea.
In the Science Gallery/Memmbers Category/Turtle I have some photos of my basic wagon sans all the equipment. Here is a list of what's onboard that I recall just now:
___25Watts of photo-voltaic cells, 100 AH deep cell battery, 12V electric winch, collapsable bridging(10ft), 800Watt inverter (converts 12VDC to 120VAC), freeze dried food, 10 gallons water, tent, canopy, tarps, 600 feet assorted rope & cord, nickel-metal-halide batteries & charger, multiband radio, GPS, axe, machete, shovel, bucket, tire patch kit, tire pump, hand winch, tripod, TV, video camera, blankets, cooking utensils, soap, towels, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, parachute, flag, flashlights, whistles... I'm starting to draw a blank.
___Enough to get the idea. Whether we raced or just went for a week in the mountains with our wagons, I think it makes for a jolly good time. Any takers?
