Ok, time to start getting things ready to pack up. Just wondering if there are certain things anybody is bringing along or is there anything that needs to be brought along.
For example, I plan on bringing a generator and my 125 Hobart welder in case I or someone else needs it. Many tools and spare parts also.
So lets hear some ideas on what to bring or are there things that some people won't have that someone else might be able to bring along.

if you're not bringing your own woman, and hope to pick up some Attica skank, bring condoms and beer. the beer is the only way to make those girls look good enough to want to use the condoms.

For what its worth, i believe the CG had power last year...
but given the condition of the campground, they might not have power this year...
Ill have all my tools along - my entire garage worth...
a spare 9" third, spare front and rear axle shafts, and thats about it...

I Emailed the campgrounds the other day. They replied saying there will be full hook up during Winterfest. No worrys for anyone else that may have been.

So the campground will have electric hook-ups this year. Should I still bring the generator along? I was going to bring it for the welder in case somebody needed it but if the campground has juice available I would like to save on cargo space.

if you have a Badlands flag, don't forget to bring it. (sucks having to buy another one)
Good time to pack that extra set of keys.
It is also a good time to put some carb/ FI cleaner in the gas tank for the ride to WF.

Does anyone have a SWR meter they can bring? I'm getting my CB this week, I'd like to have it properly tuned. I'll bring my Slimjim in case anyone forgets to bring they're extra keys. I have a penchant for locking mine in the truck anyway.
How much is the Badlands flag and what do I need to mount it? I was going to put a bracket on the rear bumper for it, 1/2 hole?

Flags are $5 and they need a hole for a 1/2" bolt. A 9/16"-5/8" will work.

Thank you sir, I'll make sure I have a bracket on the bumper for it.

I thought the flag was $5 and it was extra if you needed the pole also. I could be wrong, but it's good to be prepared for stupid expenses. I always just zip tie the flag to my cb antennae.

Maybe it was $10 for the flag and the pole. I know it wasn't any more than that though.
I have since cut off the part with the stud and tape or zip tie it to the radio antenna.

the flags are $5 for just the flag no pole, you zip tie it to something like the cb antenna. $10 for a 6' flag and $15 for a 7' flag w/ badlands logo

I put the flag on my stock radio antenna.
it doesn't have to be 'a flag', you just need something orange above the roof line of your jeep
go to your local lumber yard and get one for free.

and I keep mine under my back seat if Rev forgets his.
Also, if I can find it I have an extra plug, and play unit running a 2' magneted steel whip that I'll let anyone use if needed.

What about a bike flag that you can get at Target/Walmart? I've used that in the past but haven't been out there in 3 years either. Unless they are MAKING you buy theirs???

that's fine. as long as you have a flag, it doesn't matter where it comes from

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but if you can, bring along some coveralls (insulated or not), gloves, a coat with a hood, and insulated rubber boots. I guarantee you be much more comfortable around the fire.

PS: Some of those packages of hand warmers are really nice for those that are cold natured (like me).

So is it worth it to bring the generator along? Will the campground electric hookups be able to run my Hobart 125? If so than I won't bring the generator.

It's hard tellin' if their hookups are 15amp or 20 amp. I think it's going to be your call on the generator or not. If space is super tight, don't worry about it.

Ok, I don't think that I will be bringing the generator. I have a bunch of oil to bring now. My garage runs off of one 20 amp and I can run my welder while having all other things in the garage on too. So those electric hookups should be enough.
