People have been building platforms like this for camping beds for awhile. Especially in the dispersed camping crowd. They use the empty space underneath for storage. Some of them get pretty fancy.

And they have a very smug superior view. One of the big chemical plants I worked at they would hire a bunch right out of school. I know of at least two occasions (I was present) and heard their were a few more of these wiz kids almost blowing up/burning down the plant.

They seem to think their couple years of book knowledge is far superior to us grunts (pipefitter/welder) decades of real experience. Saw one of these bozo's get in a argument with a couple very seasoned chemical workers. His comment was ''I'm in charge I went to XXXXX College, what college did you go to''? He got canned a couple hours later when the chief engineer took a look around!

Use to be a old expression of whats a very dangerous thing. Answer a 2LT with a map. You could also say a new engineer with a slide rule, (old answer) now superseded by a new engineer with a computer!

Since you claim to be a builder, I certainty hope so. Haul some more sheets, Homie.

It's useful to me. I may haul one or two sheets per year. When I build my addition, all that stuff will be delivered, like when I built my house 16 years ago.

I'll take the opinion of those willing to pay for my services, many going on for over two decades, over some freeloading losers on the internet.

It's statements like this that prove how little my detractors actually know about me.

I've grown tired of the "I know you are but what am I?" low brow, juvenile, shallow retorts by YadKuNNNt. At least the insults he gets from us have some thought and creativity, wit, etc.

He lacks imagination and creativity.

This is a big YawNNN fest.

I was camping in mahogany flats in Death Valley and a guy had a setup like that. It was just him and his dog traveling the country. Seems very practical for camping trips. Especially if you’re 4wd and off roady. There are so many forest roads and places to boondock.
