I had been to India and Nepal a few times,always wanted to visit the himalaya in every country they touched,Bhutan was the last and certainly the most interesting,how I imagine Nepal was 60-70 years ago,like stepping back in time.

I got a new truck.I wanted a way to transport my shark fishing gear to florida and be able to get a few hours sleep in the back.I looked at a bunch of different  options.Nothing fit my need so I decided to Redneck Engineer something.I bought a set of scaffolds.

Me and my buddy built some bed pads from layers of foam and bubble wrap for HVAC.

We loaded the truck yesterday for Florida.Its ugly as hell but I think it will work.

Cargo carrier for coolers and bait bags which are proned to leak blood.

Rods strapped up.

The bed of the truck will be where I sleep.My buddy will sleep on the scaffold.

This can be disassembled by one man without tools.

Maybe it will work

Hedgehog?, That would have been the Cheviot Yeti looking for Fallow fajitas, has no fire and leaves no trace, big branch shaker

The scaffolds survived their maiden voyage of 600 miles to a favorite fishing spot of mine.Everything was well organized  and we could change locations at the drop of a hat.I was very happy but it did get some strange looks lol.

I'm usually on the northwest corner.Along an area known as the emerald  coast.Only landed those two.I hooked into a monster tiger shark.He was too big for my fishing setup really.He eventually broke off on a reef as he could swim wherever he wanted with me attached lol.When I kayaked the next bait out I was nervous as I think he was big enough to eat my 12 ft kayak lol.The big one always gets away.This time I think I was glad it did.
