Hey Andrew. Great set up. You remind me of myself in the early 70's. Graduated from high school and got a tent from an army surplus store and took off to seek adventures in big cities selling my art in parks and playing guitar during the hippie era. Have a blast in your youth and stay safe. Now retired and ready to go again grandpa. Peace!

Before y’all comment about my food choices I got better food as I went, I understand next time I will bring better food! But it was my first time and I was just thinking about cost... etc... I hope y’all can get past that part.

Hope you had a good trip. Make your own trail mix dried raisins almonds, pine nuts, cashews, zip bag. Canned fish is high protein & crackers, good. Fruits & veggies a better choice. Carrots and celery in separate glass jars of water in ice chest last well for fiber & carotene. Balance the good stuff with what you took. Good luck.

I was considering that. we have a larger one but it wouldn't fit in the car well. so I just used that one and it worked for the month that I was traveling. If I was going to live in it or travel for longer I would have a better setup! Thanks for the Idea!

Please eat more Oat Meal!!! , it will save you hundreds of dollars... Use mustard instead of sugar as a topping. Use the real whole oats. Use simply hot water., Do not boil. Please cook away from your car... Walmart has cooking shelters for outdoor cooking..., please get your self a rearview mirror that attaches to your glasses($17.00-21.00) at any bike shop. Be safe and take care. --------Urgent---------
