Take it Easy

We thought we should should share with you exactly what we are traveling/living in. We took out the back seats and created and built a custom storage unit that turns into an expandable bed (With a lot of help from Dad Hendrickson). Pretty Neat! It has one bin for our shoes, one for our bike gear and emergency car equipment, two for cooking supplies and food, two for clothing, and more.  The rocket box is stuffed full of our camping gear and backpacks. Lauren sewed some curtains to put up when we sleep and put mosquito nets in the windows behind the driver/passenger seats. It has boards to extend the sleeping space and a table that can be removed from the vehicle and set up in a campsite.  Frankly there are lots of little details that are too hard to explain in writing! It has a broad rang of uses for the circumstances we plan on encountering!

  1. The car tent you obtained looks like it works great.
