I came across this this morning. Enjoy the nostalgia of a simpler time:

This, along with various vintage pictures of hand cranked Victrola record players shows that folks have long appreciated music while camping ; probably from the very beginning....haven't fond any pics of folks listening to cylinder recordings while camping , yet.

Image link from the above post...

The large horn is the radio's external speaker.

Roy Chapman on one of his china expeditions...

BTW thanx for the linkage; I look at old pics sometimes for ideas that are long forgotten...

Enjoy!

2006 Jeep Rubicon, TJ; 4.11 gears, 31" tires, 4:1 transfer case, lockers in both axles
For DD & "civilized" camping; 2003 Ford explorer sport, 4wd; ARB & torsen diffs, 4.10 gears, 32" MTs.
Ground tents work best for me, so far.
Experience along with properly set up 4WD will get you to & through places (on existing, approved 4WD trails) that 4WD, alone, can't get to.
