Get some more kit
Based on limited research that covers only a few decades I have come to a conclusion. One of the most optimistic publications in modern history is the mail order catalog. For me going back to the time before I could even read I loved when the catalogs came in. Trying to decipher what was being offered and at what price point taught me a lot about commerce. And I learned that I could not afford to own all the things that caught my interest. That principle remains. There are so many videos, now, that show what people add to their personal vehicles. Essentially catalogs of what the market has to offer. What I take away from these videos is that some people have two much money and time on their hands. Watching someone who has taken the time to add what seems like unlimited storage to the rear of this camper van leaves me with the question what is that person trying to assure. You cannot take it all with your buddy. I have learned that the market continues to innovate and that with enough money you can turn a standard vehicle into something from a dream. As long as I dream is technical. Most of the gear that is available for sale comes from the dreams of the military who also want it all now. I still do not have a correlation between whether or not these customers are former military people but I am working on it. Back to the contents of the videos. With the right racks and straps you can carry the equivalent of a small house on the back of a vehicle. Not sure why you would do this but it is probably part of the hobby. Or a mental illness. The tendency is out there in almost every special interest group. Do you have enough tools in your truck? Here I have a catalog. Does your new camera have enough gadgets in the kit? Here check the catalogs. I do not own a bowler plane but I am certain that the same rules apply. You can probably get your boat or plane to the point where it can no longer move. The better to display all the kit you have bought.
