The car
24 June 2023, 00:08,
RE: The car
I can't paint it camo, it would stick out like a sore thumb! It screams "survival vehicle".

I did drive a camo pickup truck for about ten years, back in the 80s and 90s so I have had that experience long term. It had two faults.

1.When you were parked somewhere everyone and their dog was looking it over.

2. When it was moving no one saw you and people were constantly pulling out of side roads in front of me, crossing into my lane thinking it was vacant, and trying to rear end me.

I am going to keep the little car for now. It's paid for, cheap to operate and runs well.

I am not camping and roaming like I once was so I really don't need the hauling capacity I once required. Up until covid I was spending about 20% of my life sleeping under canvas. The restrictions of the pandemic nearly killed off the reenactment circuit I once followed from historic site to historic site. Many of the local and small museums actually shut down and have not reopened.

A reenactmant camp/demonstration site is not like a modern camp, It requires gear. Canvas tents, cast iron for cooking, 18th century clothing and sleep gear. It's all bulky and some of it quite heavy.

You can do a lightweight version, which I did for many years, but that is really roughing it and I am too dang old for sleeping on the big rocks. I once camped for a long holiday weekend at a French site on the Mississippi River with nothing but the pioneer clothes, a canvas tarp, two blankets and a sheet metal skillet and I had a blast! I was a young kid of only 50 then.
