** =  enough for the campph


**1.  shower(s) could be taken with less than one and a half (1 1/2)  liters of water. A bit to moisture and the rest to rinse after a good lather with Dr Bronner's Lavender. But for those wasteful peeps who haven't crossed Asia Minor in a mini-van, hitched to Tan-Tan Plage or lived in La Guajira or are just plain clueless, two (2) liters should do any body ample without straining the custom evaporator system. I will bring three (3) just in case (`~;


**2. 3-burner cookstove doesn't mean three burners can fit into the 10' ManCave trailer and cook, she fills up quickly. It means that I have a tiny trailer up in the mountains at the peace love joy ranch above BRC waiting to see if she is still in shape. It has a solar swamp cooler, see *3, a small bed, storage and a cookstove. It does need a new propane hose, tanks and perhaps a tire or two after sitting for two years.  Send positive thoughts her way so she can make another trip.

**3. Man Cave has a TurboKool solar powered swamp cooler if all goes well with her. 

**4. You've seen them everywhere,,, hot, cold, bottle on top, small refridge for the halfhalf and honey below. Make coffee tea noodle without the hassle.

*5. Thermal lining material for cargo containers coming from Europe bringing the good grape. It is mylar bubble wrap and if put around a cooler, it will extend the life of a block of ice from one day to 3-5 days. But,,,,,things are slow in the good vino drinking world. There are not enough poor unemployed drinking fine grape, and I have been having a hard time getting these 8 feet wide 20 feet long sections of magic material. I have some for the info roof and some to make cooler wraps, but if someone might call importers in your area to get more they are called thermal cargo liners, mylar bubble wrap, and though they cost mucho EuroCents over there, they are on a one way trip to here so ... the importers want to gift them away from their warehouses. Well worth the effort, seriously.
