David Zemla BUILDING A TIME MACHINE OF MY OWN CONSTRUCTION Bug Out Hauler Build - Part Five and First Outing Recap

Best laid plans of mice and men… The Bug Out Trailer build began in earnest six months ago with two key goals in mind. Supplement the miniscule bed capacity of the Gladiator as well as function as a base so I could disconnect and explore local trails without having to tear down camp. It would need to carry an RTT, a fair amount of water, a few bikes and maybe some sort of kitchen. An added challenge would be a rack that could change heights to accommodate cargo as well as drop down so sixty pound Lab could be hefted into the tent once set up. The first few weeks consisted mostly of drawings before any metal was cut and by Christmas of 2021 the basic chassis was mocked up.
