I guess I am a bit of a mountain man
The hard part wasn't staying warm while sleeping... the hard part is venturing outside of your fart-sack in the morning... brrrrrr

Trailer was almost to small for this job. Tires didn't rub even over loaded
Impressed! You are pulling that load up a vertical wall!!

Dump run. Our area has no local pick-up so we take our household garbage to a collection point. Gives me a chance to get out the trailer once a week.
I removed the spring-over lift I had done a couple of years ago.

Love that trailer Johnny. I have been trying to come up with a similar canvas top for my M100.
I just discovered that my wife had bagged up all of our winter coats in a garbage bag and set it on the porch when we were removing the old insulation. Guess where it went.........
My black Carhart, Columbia Titanium........
She just smiled at the thought of buying new stuff.

Wouldn't this be more like "What did you put your Military trailer in today"?

a bit of firewood

Saw this one on another off-road forum:
My first M100 would sink like a rock. It has a lot of holes in the floor and several on the rear wall. It's an ex-USAF trailer (note the Strato Blue peaking though) and they must have installed some equipment in it. The dark areas are not rust - it's undercoating, which is not very fun to get off. Failure to do so, however, leads to a merry blaze when the mig welder sets it off.
My other M100 and civilian jeep trailer would also sink like stones, because they have tailgates.

1.5 cubic yards of top soil made her squat pretty good today. Made the 80 work harder. Needed 4-low to get up the road to the house.
Not necessarily "in" my trailer, but rather "on" the trailer.
6X10 dog run. Luckily it was just about a mile away from my house.

Yep, it's true. I just don't care that much.
No pics handy at the moment... My trailers are used more to haul fuel on group runs than anything else. or to haul fuel on longer runs with just 2-3 rigs.
I used to use 5 gallon jerry cans and load 155 gallons per trailer. More recently I have been usually hauling 2 55 gallon drums in a cradle assembly with gear in between them and on a platform over the top. Occasionally I haul 3 55 gallon drums per trailer.
I discovered that the drums survive the trip much better in cradles. Gravel or small river rocks that find their way into the trailer (they WILL find their way in) can wedge under the drums and puncture them when you just lay them on their sides in the trailer.
And a cradle assembly keeps everything in place when you roll the trailer. We have laid them over in uneven terrain, while brush busting cross country and in rivers coming off steep banks. With everything secured in the cradles, no damage to trailer or cargp and zero spillage of fuel or gear. But so far I have not figured out a stout enough cradle to hold three drums per trailer.

It was neighborhood clean-up day, where the city disposes of stuff if you bring it to them. Scoured the garage, attic, and yard for stuff that needed disposal. Having the trailer makes it easy.
