Canoe set up for a good night’s sleep.
I outfitted my canoe like a Chinese sampan. That consisted of taking out the center thwart and putting bent willow hoops for a little covered-wagon roof over it. With so many alligators around, I was glad to have something more solid than a tent to sleep in. I have different little roof tarps to choose from depending on the weather.
For a cool, dark den to use my laptop computer, I use the aluminized tarp. If I don’t want to distract people Solar panels and fishing rod are at the bow. I have from the scenery, I toss a camouflage tarp over that. two Solarex 20-watt (peak) solar panels from the
MIT flea market and a few 6- and 12-volt gel cell
Here’s the sampan canoe with a bug net (at right), batteries retired from emergency room lighting which the locals call a “skeeter bar” because that’s systems. These batteries can run my lights, com-where the bugs go for a drink and a good time. I puter, sewing machine, and inverter full of radio and sleep in the middle in a chaise lounge folding chair. telephone wall warts for longer than I can stand it.
