___All good points Infamous. I had tentatively planned a 7 to 10 day leisurly trip through Gifford Pinchot National Forest from Sunset Falls to Carson for this month. My plans have been interupted by an upcoming forced move.
___As to how long the outfit provides, I have in mind it should last 'till it falls apart. Other than a camping trip, I have no expectation that I can carry more than a month or so of food for two. I myself figure I can live on what I find; this is partly due to a lifetime of camping & partly to megalomania.
___Seriously though, much of what is onboard constitutes tools for securing survival. With some little rope & a knife one can make shelter, cooking utensils, traps, collect fuel,etc.
___I have already used the electrical equipment during a power outage in an ice storm we had 2 years ago; the ham radio operator next door had no power & bailed to a motel 5 minutes after the power failed. The wagon is a convenient storage for a home survival kit even if it never goes out of the yard.
___After we get a few other wagons going, we can decide where to go; desert sounds as good as any!
