Terry consider the floor space taken by 3 jerry cans compared to 14 inch diameter for one drum..... and will carry 2 drum.....both will be attached to the headboard in the space left after fitting a spare tire brackewt for those big 10:50x16..... the triangular space left by the veertical spare tire will be takenby a 12v tire compressor to facilitate airing up and down the tires as required.

The marston mats will cut to fit 79 1/2 inch cross wise over the fenderboxes as a bed for my weary bones and will double as traction mats when required... the rest of the box is taken with cooler, toolbox, jack-all, military towbar, chains, shovel, pick, axe and more chains.... Maps in paper and digital with a GPS on my tablet. Front rad guard will hold a section of 1/2 inch steel cable BUT no barbed wire. My original winch is now fully operational. Chain saw and expendables. Basic food plus extra grub in the form of USA ready to eat meals and freeze dried food . A period tank corp one burner naphtha gas stove and my naphtha will be in the two can holders at the back of the cargo box...extra engine oil in two POW in the tool box. With the tarp on the new bows I can comfortably sleep off the ground..... 5 gallons of home water and an exhaustive filtration system for replenishment along the way. A social equalizer and bear spray will be in order.

Fashionably wearing early 50s army surplus OD cotton Summer pants and coat..... with lots of pockets......

A change of undies are optional but no one else to smell me.....oh almost forgot toilet paper!!!!

Do you get the idea that I have been over thinking this expedition????

Now have to wait for the snow to melt and get out there before the bugs/black flies come out.....

Notice that all the "extra" equipment can be removed to attend a military rally!!!!

Going where ....... well a few have gone before years ago....so I can't use the Star Trek line.....

Care to tag along and see what your Iltis and army experience can do???
