Getting close now. I have double burner capable of taking 10in and 12in pans. Might pick up a Skottle while there too, once I've checked them out.

Has anyone got any top tips for showering/toilets at these events? We normally bring wag bags and a porta potty for the Mrs. I was thinking of picking up a cheap privacy/toilet shelter when there. I tried to get one beforehand but couldn't find anything decent enough.

Yeah I would like to see them work too. Before I pick one up. I do pretty good with my 30 year old Colman white gas stove.

I mainly think I would like one to save space and make cleanup easier. You could leave the pots and pans out and just looks like you can wipe it clean. Hopefully they have some deals on.

Historically, plenty of Honey Buckets are provided.
For showers, I've done the Baby Wipe bath but may use my shower system. I've never set up the privy/shower tent, so I'm not sure just how comical someone my size is going to be in it.

Hey there, catching up on the thread here before departure tomorrow. I originally pre registered for a family campsite early on but with the snow days this year school stretched now the wife and daughter can’t come. So attending solo this year and on the list for the OB campsite. What night is the potluck going on? Definitely interested in meeting more OB members. I will be in the grey 5th Gen T4R with the roofnest. I will fly my red OB flag that I got at the off grid rally last year. Definitely say hi.

I’ll be there with my 2 boys. But trust me it will feel like I brought at least 4. We are leaving as soon as we can after the last half day of school tomorrow.

I’m glad we aren’t in the quiet section, they don’t know what that means :)

Give a yell on 146.460 when you get close. I'm up on Chumstick Mt and should be back in town around 1:30

We would like to apologize if our camp kept anyone awake, however we won’t apologize for enjoying each other’s company so much that we didn’t want our time together to end. Thank you to everyone who came by, shook our hands, hugged our necks and who promised to make plans to see each other again before the next rally- what an event! Please come find us on Facebook- Willamette Valley Overland Bound and get out there with us!
