Default Camping in the 70's

Have a look at these:

My brother had 2 or 3 different VW camper vans. Way underpowered, but cool, especially if you liked it when hippies would walk over to check the thing out.

I prefer my 5th wheel. Old geezers that used to be hippies will sometimes come over to check the thing out.

Check out the little stove/cook kit in picture #6. The SVEA 123 white gas stove inside the aluminum enclosure was NEVER meant to be in an enclosure of any kind. EVER. ALL SVEA 123 stoves that were used this way eventually overheated and exploded in a massive fireball.



All of them. Every one. Including mine. That's how I know. But that's how it was done when I first went out on the trails
