A lot of brothers go camping on a bike for week long runs. A back pack full of clothes a bed roll, small tent. You just got to be willing to rough it.

@janetfolkerts5827 Ай бұрын

You refrig/freezer chest would probably operate more efficient if held in trailer where doors are open for air flow, the inside of a vehicle turns into a extreme hot oven and will put a lot of stress on the r/fzr. Also love the idea of the a/c in the man's tow trailer, with the solar on your roof, it is a great idea to install a little window a/c to make it into a sleeping area when needed, Have fun !

@Fat_Cat_747 Ай бұрын

Great you will be at Sturgis ! I am just picturing you and Diana having drinks on the rooftop bar of the Bumpin Buffalo in Hill City, across the street from the Mangy Moose. So many wonderful little towns in the Black Hills. I hope you'll ride the 1880 train and also take a side trip to walk around Devils Tower ( Close Encounters of the Third Kind ). There's a camp ground right by it and it would be awesome if you took your projector and gave campers an evening show of the movie ( which is something of a tradition there )

Take a piece of 3/4 plywood and hinge it to the sidewall of your trailer. When you take your bike out take the plywood down and inflate your air mattress and you are set. You could even put a mini split on the trailer.

Eric, I had that happen with the nail on my big toe. If you don't relieve the pressure and drain it, it will stay like that till your nail grows enough to carry the blood out rom underneath. (That's what happened with me.)

@oldvermonter2813 Ай бұрын

My husband is a carpenter and this happens every once in a while :(. Sounds gross, but he sterilizes a pin/or something similar with a lighter and pokes a hole in the nail. You need to let the blood out. Not sure if this is what you do after 5 weeks, but he does this shortly after the injury.

@billwilliams44 I know that, but the blood under the fingernail will be there for about 8 months before you can clip it all out when the nail grows. My toe nail was just like his fingernail was before it fell off. Then it took 11 months for a new toe nail to completely grow back.

You need to customize your trailer. Pop a couple windows in it and a power roof vent. You could even maybe add an ac unit somewhere. Camp in the trailer. I would.

Good video bro. Yeah, you could just do the basics on that trailer. You already have a power station, solar, 12v fridge and a generator. Just need to install a max air fan on the roof, get a collapsible cot, bug screens on the side door and ramp door. Optional but should be considered, a portable A/C and port it out through the floor or sidewall. That'll put you a comfortable spot. All this applies only when you're using Danny's truck to pull Trailer Swift instead of your Bigfoot. Adventure on my friend.
