    Default Project: Bug Out Trailer

    So, story is I had way more money than I knew what to do with, so I decided I would build a bug out trailer.

    Well not quite. It is weird how I ended up with this trailer, but basically it is the fruit of 13 hour nights with very little to do but plan stuff out. A buddy and I planned it out. He did most of the welding. He ended up moving to Alaska. Another buddy bought it for his garage cabinet business. He moved to MO. And I bought it, and decided I would turn it into my camping/bug out trailer.

    Took it out a couple weekends ago on it's maiden expedition. Chatfield Reservoir. LOL

    Hooked up and ready to go.

    I have to plan out some sort of galley yet, as well as the water filter/storage system (16 gallon tank on the underside). I am planning a communications/electronics section in one of the side toolboxes. Tools and other spare items in the other side.

    I'll be having some canvas made for the rest of the top to make it somewhat water resistant.

    It started it's life as an M116A3 trailer (we are thinking a pressure washer or generator.) But the deck wasn't on it when it was acquired.
