First GL win and retrieval (sorry no deuce)

[dirtyfingernails]

I'm new to GL and won my first auction recently. I picked it up today. Very easy and fairly close (about 1.5 hours). I won 200 shelter halves. I didn't realize that it would be so many!! It filled up one of those large boxes! Anyway, I hope this counts for a road trip. Now what am I gonna do with all those tents?

That's a very nice trailer you have there!

As for the shelter halves, I feel your pain. I sold a pile of them on eBay years ago, $20 per tent (two shelter halves), but I had to round up all the poles, ropes, and stakes to make the tents complete. You might start looking for a source of cheap components like I did, and sell like that. OR, you could make donations of tents to all the local Boy Scout units. They go through gear like you wouldn't believe, and would appreciate the tax-deductible donation.

One, they make GREAT military truck seat covers!
Two, I am with Maddawg, give some to the Boy Scouts, I have done that for years, help keep kids off the streets!
One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

I need at least one to recover my drivers seat. If you want to sell a few let me know.

Thanks for the input. Mike, the trailer looks good in pics, but it has a lot of patches--I know, I put them there. It is an excellent trailer for hauling though! Perfect size and weight.

I'm judging the book by the cover in this one instance and I'd agree, the trailer looks great.

Those shelter halves also make great windshield covers to block heat or frost. Used to have one snapped on my suburban, then a couple more to make shaded space beside the truck. A couple of those extendable poles, some anchor ropes, instant shade.

Also as a windshield cover on both my Humvee and my 5 ton when in the guard. When under cammo nets, keeps the sun from glinting on the glass.

I will take a half dozen of those if yo decide to sell some. Enough to make two tents and then misc. uses. Show the kids how we used to go to the field.
