Dry Camping...How Long?

[Richard Gercken]

Having watched "Jeramiah Johnson" again last evening I'm thinking this is
the closest any of us will come to being "Mountain Men" and it's close
enough for me. Being alone and self sufficient is an illusion but a fun
one. I enjoy the forum and learn from it but with the price of diesel being
what it is will probably stick with the light weight trailer. I dry camp
off road and a Bird would sink to the frame. Really like you folks and
agree that Birds are the best if you can afford them. I do keep the dream
alive anyway.
