DECEMBER 2003 DREDGE PICS Page 2 ( updated 12/28/03)

Camping set up....
A custom operational tent. It can be configured for any
weather. It is not raccoon proof though.
Going by the track marks a mom and baby raccoon got in
at night and stole my bag of trail mix.
Due to the extreme cold...I came up with an unique version of a tent
heater. It keeps the tent at shirt sleeve temperature.
The heater basically turns the entire tent into a convection oven.
The diffuser is at the bottom of the pic and the downward forced
airflow is by the fan above.
It is powered by the solar briefcase and 2 - 18 lbs propane tanks. It
stays on all night and most of the day in the cold....and can run
constantly for 5 days straight / total.

Too cold out there....I ain't going back
out for a while.
First she turns a perfectly good
bachelor pad / tent into a orderly
nest / thing....
and stuff.......
then she wants like half the gold....
partners are supposed to get like a
60 / 40 cut or something...
maybe 70 / 30 or something like
that, right ?
Mankind differs from the animals
only by a little,
and most people throw that away.
