I have two 135 Watt Solar Panels on top of the Trailer. You can see one over the door on the right. They work great. I am running a AC 9 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator and a water pump, and both AC and DC lights on it. Next Summer, I plan to try to get 2 more 135 Watt Panels, then I could run anything I'd need off it. Where you run into problems is with Water Heating and Air Conditioning. I have used fans all Summer instead of the Air Conditioner and have been comfortable.

Nice camp Calvin, the only thing missing are the shade trees. Here is another of my hobbies that keeps me busy when the snow and ice keeps me home.

Nice lockback Calvin. I made one similar to that with elk horn grips. I gave it to a friend in Cape Cod. The knives in the picture are the only ones I have left from about 150 that I've made so far. I'll be making more, assembling and finishing I should say, this winter. I buy all my stuff from Jantz some where in your state of Ok.

Jantz is at Davis Ok., south of Oklahoma City in the center of the State. I live in the Eastern part of the State which is about 200 miles from Ok. City. Jantz has some good materials to make knives out of. I like the knives you make. I love the work of Craftsmen. but I'm not talented enough for that.

Nice knives guys. I used to collect knives. Back when I was young, carefree and did not have a mortgage. I do have a few custom knives and a bunch of numbered factory knives. My prized knives are my D'Holder and my Al Mars.

Looks like everybody has a good hobby. My other one is bass fishing. When I'm not working, I'm either fishing or doing something with firearms.

For me, fishing and firearms, go together. I have shot many a water moccasin and turtle while fishing.

Tony, to post a second picture you need to hit the enter key to move the cursor to the next line then copy and paste your next photo like the first. If you do not hit the enter key it will post the photos side by side instead of below the first.
About your camping, is it camping if you are in a house?
