Box In

Not completely done but in place.

Needs some hardware, but basically done. decided to use strap hold downs to keep it in place. As usual, I designed with lots of clearance to get it in and out. After shoe horning it into place I found that 1/4" larger and it wouldn't have made it.

It has one drawer and a shelf above. It took three sheets of 3/4" MDO so you can guess what it weighs. Oh yeah, I fiberglassed the corners and resin coated the rest for waterproofing. Yes, it has a stoplight too.

Complete with emergency rations. Each box contains 9 dinners, 3 breakfasts and 1 dessert. I figure the dessert is the only one you can actually enjoy eating. They probably include it to get you back into the store to buy more desserts at $10 each.

Got a small stove for all that water I'll be boiling. Needs a wind shield and some sort of heat shield for the bottle.

Notice that the one in the picture doesn't need any propane to cook mac & cheese.

Next are the rod carriers. Saw some nice ones on a truck the other day, only $500. Check it out.
The Titan Rod Vault.

Think I can come in under that with PVC but no wager.

Stay cool.

Deployment

No, I haven't reuped. 

Here is the tent deployed. First time putting it up without the factory rep showing me the ropes. 

With a little help from Travis, we got to a "out of the rain" state in about 20 min. 

This involved putting on the "annex room" and attaching the floor for the first time. 

Should be able to cut down on that time with practice. 

Ready for a sleepover. Next is to finish the box. 

First Phase Done

Got the rack done and tent mounted. 

Next is to finish the box. My old firefighter buddies would be delighted. It is made out of 3/4" plywood, 2x4s and fiberglass. 

Tomorrow I'll try to post again with the tent deployed. The box will be a few more days yet.
