And I'm aware I'm doing this late: hence why we have a backup monkey hut if we cant get this setup in time. It won't cover the uhaul but itll at least shade our tents ! Honestly, since the truck will be swamp cooled, maybe I will talk to him and just end up telling him to use a tent and shade, per T...

I have plenty of extra 20ft peices of rebar, a rebar cutter, and a rebar bender: so that wont be an issue. As for all the other stuff (conduit, connectors, etc): I work in construction (hence the aforementioned rebar and what not) so can get those things same day from our various vendors (minus the ...

Also, everyone seems to agree that the cross-poles will make this all work a lot better.

The top bucket is built like a standard bucket cooler, ex...

Hello guys! New to the forums, tried to find the answers online and on the forums but could not so here I am! I apologize in advanced if this in the wrong place or should have been its own post. I've got my normal figjam bucket coolers built (Thanks Figjam! :D ) and they appear to all be in working ...

Hello Everyone! This is my first post so thank you in advanced and I apologize if I make any mistakes. With that out of the way.... My buddy and I have rented a U-haul and will be using it as a relaxing/changing/rest area separate from our tents (swamp cooler, magnetic door, etc). We are trying to b...
