I am in the process of upgrading the daily driver.
This is not my BOV as one would normally view it. This is the subcompact I use to make grocery runs, meet the other old geezers for coffee and bounce around town with the general intent on saving as much fuel as can be expected with gas at $3.50+- per gallon.
I have to clean it out before I can trade it in.
I was amazed at the amount of gear I had in that little machine.
Of course I had the 20 gallon tote filled with a week of food, stove, change of clothes, boots, hatchet, knife and a gallon of water. Then there is the extra parka and the sleeping bag. Jumper cables, flares, tow strap and fire extinguisher. That is the "normal" stuff everyone should have, correct? It was the other stuff that surprised me.
I shop at Harbor Freight a lot, with coupons, and one can not pass up their FREE STUFF, So I had 7 blue polytarps in the back of the car.
I also found the tool box I though had been stolen. Then I found the extra magazine for the PF9 in the console and a full box of 9mm in the glove box, along with more lighters, a fire steel, two folding knives and a multitool. My car features a built in cooler so I had 4 bottles of water in there. I am still trying to figure out why my binoculars were in the cooler.
I also found my extra camera and discovered where my 40x spotting scope went. (It was under the passenger sear)
I also found out where the chipmunk was nesting!
Then the thought occurred to me, I might have figured out why my gas mileage was down.:idea::idea:
