        Next blog post. Went north on highway 37, saw some bears and got a good video of them. Ran out of oil... but i saw the pressure gauge fluctuating pretty quick, its still driving well a couple weeks later now. My venting to atmosphere solution to my oil consumption has covered my car and trailer in oil.

              Do you have pictures of the inside of your trailer, also how much does it weigh?

                Yes, but they are buried in my phone somewhere, ill have to find them.
                Empty the trailer is exactly 1000 pounds which is heavier than my original goal. Completely loaded is 1950 pounds. I try to keep it around 1800 (water and fuel is the big variable)

                          They looked sweet but i dont know anything about them. We saw one later on and there was no one around so i took my older son into it and we looked around a bit. Nice view from in there

                              The land trains were built for scientific exploration of the rugged tundras, they were build to carry all that the crew would ever need and be able to go anywhere. I believe they were also used to deliver supplies to remote villages for a little while. They are most commonly known as being the wheel/tire donor for Bigfoot 5.
