Yup! That was Gamora, and Liana was driving my Frontier.

I caught your first name being called out while the X ascended the rocky climb near the beginning of episode two. Looks like a great time!

Glad you are enjoying the videos!
I see you just got into trailers. Though you might be interest that my trailer is what is know as a foamie. Started life with a stock 1195# Harbor Freight trailer. beginning weight was 375lbs. The body from the floor up is 2" pink foam wrapped in 10oz canvas, no wood or metal framework. I have since added a 2" tube spine to spread the pulling load across the whole frame and to strengthen the tongue. I added a soft ride spring kit which adds longer, lighter sprung leaves. It also does away with the Harbor Freight slipper spring and replaces it with a shackle style spring. I recently added a 3500# axle. I think it now weighs about 550lbs. empty, about 850lbs loaded. I did away with the Harbor Frieght 12" wheels right away. They just did not work for off road duty. I replaced them with 13" wheels, as big as I could go with 4 lug, and they worked wonderfully for all my trips. When I did the axle swap, I went to 5 lug and the 15" wheels.
See you on the trails! George.

George is there a build tread for your trailer? Never seen foamies before…

Not really a build thread, but does cover some of the build info on this trailer #2 Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers • View topic - #2 (tnttt.com)
I was doing a YouTube build series but my hard drive crashed about 3/4 of the way through unfortunately https://www.youtube.com/@bugouttrailers7964 . Maybe someday I will finish it if I ever build another #2.
I did a quite extensive build thread on my first build #1 here Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers • View topic - #1 (tnttt.com) .
I have built 4 foamies and am working on my 5th one now. It is however being built to tow behind a bicycle.

I wondered why you didn’t finish the YouTube series. I was enjoying following that.

Yeah, it sucks. Still a lot of good info there so I left it up thinking I was going to build another unit pretty quickly and be able to finish it. At this point I don't know when I will get around to building another square drop. I have a couple other designs I am looking to build before that.
