[Bluerauder]

Thinking back to last year's event at Carlisle ... gotta make a list of things that might be needed --- Here's what I plan to bring.

1. Case of bottled water, soft drinks
2. Cooler and Ice
3. Two folding chairs
4. Marauder "Rebel with a Cause" Banner
5. Some extra bungee cords
6. Portable DVD player with MM DVDs (some movies??)
7. Sunscreen (I blew this last year :o )
8. Marauder hats (Blue and Black)
9. FRS/GMRS radios (might be good for contacting members on the show grounds)

Any other ideas ..... whatcha bringing?

I am shooting to arrive at the registration building around 11 AM, Friday, 5 June 2009. Should be in the MM Show Area by 11:30 AM. :up: Probably will depart around Noon on Sunday, 7 June.

Charlie: Can you put some davits on your MM and hang the SMART car from 'em? Like a lifeboat?

I think an A-Frame and a roll of twine might work just as well.

[bosscougar]

Camera, charged batteries, & plenty of storage/film. 'Nuff said.

Full brim hat: Ball caps don't cut it. I'm already a redneck by location/inclination, no need to advertise it.

Spare shoes. If you haven't been at Carlisle in a downpour, you haven't truly experienced Carlisle (this is #12 out of the last 15 years for me). Everyone has dry clothes at the hotel of course, but having to wear wet shoes for 2 more days really bites. And for the record, I have seen it rain and flood so bad, one vendor was going around buying pallets from other vendors for his customers to get above the standing water in his spot.

Roll of trash bags and masking tape. I use 'em to put greasy parts in and then tape the bags shut. Trash bags make wonderful waterproof containers for digital cameras, wallets, cell phones, etc. when it rains and you are still shopping for parts. I've even made a poncho out of a 55 gallon one (and sold a bag to a passerby!) I carry a few in my camera case or backpack.

Backpack for shopping list, parts reference lists, small parts, and the aforementioned trash bags. Carry a drink & fast food (poptarts & apple for me). Keep hydrated and the blood sugar up (I hang out with several diabetics).

Light jacket. You won't believe me after the last two years, but I have been there a time or two when the morning temperatures were in the 50s. The forecasted low for Tuesday, May 19, is 52F.
I live in GA and work outside, so my blood is already thin from daily temps in the high 80s or more. By June, I get shivering cold by any temp under 67. YMMV based on what you are used to.

Finally:
Trailer hitch and tow bar. (I'll show y'all pictures why when I show up). Some Ford may want to follow ya home if the price is right.


See ya there!

[Mr. Man]

Guess they don't sell Krystal and Russian caviar at Walmart. Just thinking out of the box when it comes to fluids and salty snacks.

[Mike Poore]

They DO, Eric; but just at the trendy ones, near the large metro areas, where the yuppie's shop.

Out here, where we bend stuff straight, it's just pretzels, jerky and beer nuts. :D

See U guys Friday......can't wait...:burnout:


UM, Charlie? No need to lug the case of water. K?

Now what shall I bring on behalf of the site? Should I buy a couple of giant coolers and stock them full of ice? Then fill it up with the waters and refreshments?

[SID210SA]

How about an umbrella...maybe some sandals, a towel to dry off with, I think some one mentioned batteries, chargers. just to name a few

[Ms. Denmark]

Paul, coolers and ice are a great idea! I do hope some one has a boom box to bring. I also hope we can use the grill that Ts-pa is bringing. If so, more hot dogs?

[Blackened300a]

Lets see how Friday pans out, then Ill take orders and pick up whatever it is we need.

Thanks to MM.net for the support!

Oh BTW, We have the 50/50 raffle and at the end of the event, we could raffle off the coolers.

[Ms. Denmark]

Sounds like a plan!^^^^^^^^^ A big thanks to you Paul, and mm.net!!

Actually I was raised in the midwest and yes, it's pop. But in the Northeast it's soda. ;)
