 just like home.  Even the range bulls can't tear it up.  We sleep in our 
 little old 2-H with our suitcases in the mangers and we DON'T bring food 
 inside (bears can open a vehicle like a tin can).  >>

Actually I used to do that.  My first few rides.  I had two problems.  One 
was that horse urine smell.  Just can't get that out and it drove me nuts.  
Kept me up.   The other problem is I have a ramp load trailer with no escape 
door or side door.  Only way in and out is by the ramp.  I was able to raise 
the ramp by tying some hay twine to the side and bringing it up for privacy.  
Problem was everytime I had to get out of the trailer to go pee the springs 
made this awful noise when I lowered the ramp, even if I did it real slow 
using the hay twine.  This alerted all my neighbors letting them know that I 
had to go to the bathroom (again).

Since I do drink a few beers I gotta go more often than most, so at 3am, 
hearing my springs make that noise, it just bothered me and those around me.  
Wal-Mart has portapotties on sale this week, so maybe I'll go get one.  But 
what about that urine smell?  That's why I got the tent.  I'm able to exit 
and enter quietly.

cya,
Howard
