Crazy or stupid?

Are you crazy or just plain stupid???

Thats what I kept hearing over and over again as more people learned of my in trunk mobile office while camping in Oshkosh last week. But hey, what else was I supposed to do!? I didn't have a laptop, external drive, or money to buy either one! So being limited by a 256MB CF card, and owning a 400W power inverter, and enough parts for a spare PC I did what any other sane photobug would do and settled for this!

P.S.- The scoffing ended as I burnt all of my 500+ images to a DVD and then became thier DJ for the rest of the night![/quote]

I would be worried about heat causing some sort of damage

could you close your trunk?

Canon Fan · Jul 1, 2004

Yep could close the trunk just fine! Fit in there like it came from the factory! Heat was not a problem high temp all week was only 72*F. The biggest prob was sheilling stuff from the huge magnets on my sub-woofers :shock: bad bad things COULD have happened there :?

Great work and good thinking!
However, I'd dearly love to see a pic of the car battery, was it in a trailer you were towing?

Well, actually, maybe. We have almost two weeks vacation planned over Labor Day and haven't decided exactly where we are going yet. I have been pushing for the Black Hills and Badlands but the wife seems a bit hesitant. You'll buy the beer huh?

I'd haul the beer to the Badlands if it were on a week of a full moon. That's one place on my list but I've only got 5 days out of a month for real moonlight and beer drinking photography
