We started with a 1947 jeep cj2a with a 1965 ford v-8 engine and a 1947 3x6 Bantam, jeep trailer with a aluminum dome top and built in camp kitchen at the tailgate. We would take 2 and 3 day trips into the CA-NV desert with 3 children (oldest 10) carrying only 5 gallons of water and would sometimes return home with water left over. One memorable trip on new years weekend we camped at 9,000 ft elevation above Death Valley. It was 10 degree F. DW was trying to wash the dishes but her dish rag would freeze when she would pull it out of the dish water. Our gear was not suited for this cold and we nearly froze. Next week we bought new sub 0 sleeping bags. Still have that same old jeep and trailer. Doesn't get used much!
