Prof, that's an instructive quote from the Bible. Isn't that where John smashes the liquor store window?

Thanks, but 4 people have already donated to the HenWay. I thank you all!

Ok, I'll bite. What's the chainsaw for?[emoticon]


Sometimes it is for getting to your campsite...other times it is (more importantly) needed for getting back out!

When we boondock, I like to enjoy a campfire, using the electric chainsaw (stealthy) to cut firewood. And do some good old fashion wood fire cooking. saving LP fuel to stay warm at night in the mountains.

My 'Must have' for remote Boondocking... an alternative way to get back out, in case the RV has any problems. (Dirt Bike, ATV, Jeep, camping buddies etc)

Brent ... excellent point! I forgot that on my long list I posted above.

We have been talking about an aluminum front rack carrying a small scooter. (We want it on the front, as the front is underloaded just a bit and don't want to worsen the situation by hanging the scooter off the back of our Class C.)

I also noticed that one poster mentioned bringing along an electric chain saw - another excellent item to bring along when boondocking.

Excellent feedback and great suggestions, everyone. I'll compile a list and post them in my blog.
