Our first trip as a "steel tent" we used a five gallon dry wall mud bucket with a heavy duty trash bag in it with kitty litter and a toilet seat on top. We had an ice chest, camp stove, a propane heater that mounts on the tank ( did not use when asleep) and queen bed on cinder blocks. You will need some way to bathe or stay down wind.

HAVE FUN/b] :lol:

Sorry, no pictures. But we did have folding beach chairs and curtains made out of sheets. One of our favorite Carolina Beach Music Bands was playing in a baseball stadium and we were able to park along the fence across the field from the stage. We proped the window open with a stick and enjoyed the band while in bed drinking beer. :D

You don't have to do much to use your tin tent. Just go and enjoy.
