Right on thanks brother. Setting up a tent camp is a labor of love. Esp when you can hear the leaves rustle and the coyotes barkin at night. Thanks for watching!

A common ground wire is the best. But I ain’t got time for that. My lights have worked in the rain. If ya need a folding trailer to store in the garage, these are pretty much your only option. I only use mine 3-4 times a year. It’s fine if you aren’t depending on it for frequent heavy duty use. Thanks for posting.

Good call on the side overhangs. I'm going to give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

Tarp does make a world of difference keeping the warm air inside the tent. I have a Coghlan's grommet set I've used to repair the rain fly. I should add some of them to the bottom flap but never do. Last campout I simply tucked the bottom flaps underneath the floor and it worked pretty well sealing things off. Thanks for watching.

Consider me jealous, those pants are fire

Late 70s

It was a different time you understand...

I bought an apparatus called a Wolverine Film2digital Moviemaker. It scans your film reels and digitizes them onto an SD card. I think it was about $300 on Amazon but worth the priceless artifacts. My only complaint is, it would be nice if it had a freeze frame feature to acquire still shots; there may be a model that does? The individual frames themselves on the film are much clearer in analog than, say, after it is digitized and you try to hit pause. They make a freeze frame only machine for that purpose but I haven’t bothered buying one. Maybe some day?

@@brianh1161 Thanks for the information! Looking at search results I realize I have heard of these before.

@@DavianSinner Any questions let me know.

@@brianh1161 Will do, thank you!

There are companies who will transfer all of them for you. You can Google and several will come up. It seems like one is called “Shutterfly”. I have several old films from the 50s and 60s that my dad made and I need to get them transferred. 👍

Hi there Chris. I gave your mom her super8 films back on a thumb drive last year, not sure if she looked at them or not.

Still works. I only use it 3-4x a year. It’s not meant to cut your winter’s worth of fuel wood or anything. Just a good quick jobber for camping, clearing a downfall, yard cleanup, etc.

@@brianh1161 right I’ve just seen we’re people say the gears strip

@@Baylorschannel Thanks I will keep an eye on it. If it breaks I’ll let ya know

@@brianh1161 ty

Thanks, glad it was helpful! I have since wrapped those unprotected wires in several layers of electrical tape, best I could do for now. Unfolded the trailer just today and made sure to inspect them.

Eat well, laugh often, love much

Only one place on KZfaq to get your grainy, classic raw unedited footage of the county while taking care of your babies folks.

This clip is just a classic. Should have won an oscar.

Bill, you are the man! So pleased to get your seal of approval! Your chuck box design is great for this kind of camping, thanks for sharing the design in so much detail and inspiring us with all your videos. Consider this my tribute to the “Pungo Prairie ethos” I hope and pray your family is staying strong in this trying season…much love from PA!

A chuck box truly is a much needed tool for any camp. We have Bill to thank for the incredible thought and details he incorporated into such an essential piece. A true kitchen in a box

With this Craftsman beast - you bet

@@brianh1161is it worth the money? I’m thinking about buying one for use around the house and to keep one in my work truck for when I run into down trees in the roadway. I know it’s just a tiny 12 inch but realistically it should handle most skinny pines that find their way into the roadway

@@justinjessup6881 Mine is the 10" but for the occasional recreational use it's been solid. Definitely exceeded my expectations so far. We cut up 5 days' worth of wood with it when we camp in the cold months without a gas chainsaw permit (recharging each day). I bought a 4 Ah chinese battery for it. The 2 Ah battery that comes with it will let you cut up an entire 4-5" tree trunk and more which ain't bad but the 4 Ah will do probably 4-5 times that amount. My only complaint is the bar oil cap can leak a few drops over time if not perfectly tight. I always put it down on its side with the cap facing up. Thanks for watching.

Nothing beats the coziness of a hot tent on a snowy mountain

You two should meet up some time, having the same last name n all

Ehhh ... not real into meeting new people. Guess you could call me a recluse.

Fine camping gear is as precious as gold!

@@KDG1701 chuck box = soup for the soul…open the box, get out a pot and can opener, make soup

Shades of Nate…runs in the family I guess!

“Coming to theaters near you” My son made me post these. I don’t know why I humor him.

Harbor freight sells DIY trailer kits, check them out on their website. You provide the floor and sides. If you live in PA they are hard to tag but hit me up and I can advise.

I will be sure to harshly tell him our viewers expect better.

Honestly I wish I had the patience to have re-painted the entire frame before I built it, since I hear the paint doesn't hold up great over time. But since I keep this thing folded in my garage 95% of the year it's something I'm willing to live with and hope it holds up for a good number of years.

@@brianh1161 True, I just painted all my hardware, using Rust Oleum Farm paint called Harvester red, in a can from Walmart, matches close to the original red of the trailer.

@@AmericaFirst069 Good on you for taking the initiative, I bet it will hold up for a nice long time. That said, if you devise anything clever to reinforce those flimsy fenders, let me know!

@@brianh1161 What bothers me about the fenders are is that they wiggle too much, and make noise. So I was thinking about putting a bushing in between the inner part of the fender, and then running a machine screw, and tighten with a nut to stabilize them.

@@AmericaFirst069 Yeah that’s kind of the idea I’ve been mulling around, a bushing with a bolt run thru my wooden trailer sides to the bent flange edge of the fender. Another thing to disassemble though.

Thanks! Credit to Bill, it was really enjoyable to have along for our camp this year.

Checks in at a featherweight 61 lbs loaded 😆. I believe Bill said his weighs 70 or 75 lb.

Have you ever researched camping public land in MD? I hear they have some large tracts with plenty of sites. Or maybe even other states ... WV, VA, OH, etc.?

@@KDG1701Not yet but maybe I should, pilgrim!

Welp, it’s a tent, so no insulation. But if the stove is burning, it’s room temperature
