[at-l] question: how's my $300 equipment list?
Aren't you missing the Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunk to carry all this
in? Here's one on ebay you can pick up before heading out:

ViewItem&category=11236&item=6524020654&rd=1
All you'll need then is a hand truck from Home Depot/Lowes and some
heavy-duty chain to wrap the trunk to the hand-truck and you're in
business. I like the Milwaukee 600 Lb. Capacity Convertible Hand
Truck, Model CHT600P and the heavier the chain, the better. Check in a
farm supply store, if you have one around.
You'll also need the George Foreman Grill and a Ronco Juicer. And a
HAM radio that runs off old-style 6 volt batteries.
