In Tacoma on the freeway a pillow in my lane was caught underneath my Westfalia. About 20 miles away a car drove up on my left as the passenger shouted at me that my van was on fire. I pulled over instantly and saw smoke in the rear view mirror. When I reached the rear of the van, about 8 feet behind the car was a pillow in flames! It did no damage to the WarmerWagen, which gives yet another example of how to keep warm. If you are out of matches, attach something that will burn to your muffler and drive several miles till it ignites-ingenious! Then pull it away from the car (a pillow works great), pile on some wood, and we have a campfire! Robert See WarmerWagen-the sequel to "Quest for fire." Not to be confused with Qwest. >> I believe this email was intended for the list-at-large. I certainly don't want to keep such a wonderful idea from the rest of you. I for one will stock a set of pillows for those emergency campouts. Care should be taken so you don;t end up with a BrownerWagen. BenT in San Francisco |
