Hehehehe!
Well, to be fully understanding of all the stuff talked about on the
Forum, you need to be the owner of both an Engel and a Waeco fridge, have a dual battery system supported by two generators (Yamaha and Honda) and a Solar Panel, drive both a Toyota Landcruiser and a Nissan Patrol, and run a variety of tyre combinations from BFG, Cooper and Bridgestone, to suit individual driving conditions.
Then you get into really detailed stuff and need to have both a Garmin (Doug's preference) and a Magellan GPS as
well as a PDA running Oziexplorer, CoPilot and TomTom, with input from at least one bluetooth GPS receiver. Then because this display is sometimes a bit small, you need the backup of a Laptop which runs Microsoft Vista but with the ability to also run Windows XP for those "legacy" programs. Map reference for the Map reading applications should not be restricted to one, but at least two sources from both NATMAP & HEMA so you don't get lost.
Now while you are camping in your Black Wolf Turbo tent, or OZTENT, in a remote location away from where you left your
Kimberley Kamper Trailer, you need to decide if you will fire up the Cobb cooker, or make do with the contents of the Dreampot which you initiated that morning.
Phew!....there are plenty of other "must haves" you must have as
well, but I have just realised I don't actually own a Dreampot, so I have to go out and buy one "in case".
As I said, "welcome to the mad house!"
