    It's a tiny home kitchen sink. Easy to overlook.

    I have an old russian vdv aluminium mess kit i picked up years ago at a gun show that i use the pot of as my washer. The cup is great for eating out of or making my morning coffee in. The canteen is great for keeping water handy (gallons are cheaper then bottles) and the pot can be used a lot of diffrent ways and is great for rinseing stuff in as well. Also is good for boiling water ontop of with an achohol stove and cools quickly if i dont have a microwave.

    Best $20 i ever spent for how much use i get out of it.

    Git a 6 D cell maglite. Always have it within reach. If you git an LED conversion kit, it will more than pay for itself in battery costs.

    That is funny!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, all year round.

    Don't forget to leave some money in your budget for extra cash! I hope you have several major credit cards with available credit. I am prepared to get myself home from anywhere in the country on my own dime.

    Worthless; don't need or want them.
    They only make me off balance and falling over.

    Any decent truck stop will clean the showers well enough that they are not needed.
    Over 10 years out here and the only place that I got foot fungus from was at one of our terminals.
    Southern Texas... go figure. I haven't showered at a terminal since then.

    I have never had a problem from a major truck stop chain in that regard.

    My feet are the second to last thing I wash in the shower.
    Lots of soap on my feet, and never a problem.
     
    DoubleO7 Thanks this.

    There is no point in using shower shoes. You're gonna store them in your shower bag where they touch everything anyway.
