Since I am retired and have been a lifelong camper; I spend quite a bit of time looking over then sometimes beyond the obvious accessories trying to find items that can improve my camping experience... sometimes they are just conversation items, other times they lead to questions about my sanity... very occasionally they are good ideas...
Accordingly I sometimes see things in the movies or on the web that tweak my interest...
I was re-watching the "Hobbit" the other night and decided that perhaps a door bell might at least provide a conversation piece in camp...
A visit to amazon provided the following 4" bell (the 6" version looked like it might be too big to pack conveniently);
I will attach it using a hose clamp) to one leg of the canopy (which supports my tent)... I tried it and its loud enough to wake me up (which, thinking about it, might not be that great an idea)...
It should let the occasional visitor ring for attention instead of having to yell or holler ...
(hopefully this will not result in a body cascade as happened in the movie...).
What unusual/strange/odd/off the wall things have you tried or do you use (successfully or unsuccessfully) ???
Enjoy!
