It's been awhile since I last posted. The winter was spent working and conducting cold weather experiments (shelter, footwear and clothing).
Our car died...and let me tell you that you haven't lived until you've had a towering Trinidadian Honda Technician lean over you and tell you somberly in his thick accent "I'm sorry but your car is dead. I can't believe this car has worked so long! the Honda Gods have sure been looking after you!" A surreal experience to be sure...
HAHAHA!!!
Accordingly, we were forced (yes, FORCED, I say!!!) to purchase our dream truck ahead of schedule. It's a 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD (off road) pickup. For you techies & geeks out there, it's a V6 auto transmission - meaning we get the six foot box. The truck comes with everything you could want and some stuff you probably don't. Good safety features, including 3 airbags per passenger: front, top and side). Yes the stereo rocks. We drove it home rocking to Dire Straits for 400kms! The TRD Off Road package means it's designed for towing loads and travelling - well - off road!
I never said I was eloquent.
We'll be putting a canopy on it soon, thus making it our ultimate bugout getaway vehicle, including T's "armored tent" so she can sleep peacefully in the great outdoors.
Yes, it's comfortable, strong and a great ride...that's why we bought it!
You'll be seeing our getaway truck featured in our survival, travel and recreational adventure posts coming up!
