Is My Trainer Gonna Kick Me Outta The Truck?

Exactly true. We grew up getting dirty playing outside in mud n such. Ate food that sat on stove all day @ buddies house. I rarely get so much as a cold, or flu and am not "allergic" to diddly squat lol Funny now days you see big bottles of hand sanitizer even in fast food joints front and center! lol germaphobes

I brought my laptop my clothes (enough for about 8 to 9 days) a toiletries bag and my cold weather sleeping bag ( it's bigger then my duffle gag) my trainer had no issue. We just move my bags to the passenger seat when it's time to shut down.

You won't get kicked off my your trainer based on what you pack. You will get kicked off if you don't get along with each other or if you really suck at driving.

I would definitely not leave home with my things and I brought in two bags as well when I did my training with my trainer. They gave me a weird look and told me the exact thing. "As long as you don't mind sleeping with it." I said no problem, but it got in the way like he said. Its the balance between being comfortable and having clean cloths. That rolling your cloths idea works though, I got it from a military guy that show me that you can pack twice as much stuff if you roll all of your cloths. I have a lot of toiletries as well and you can't and make that stuff smaller so, it can to be with the cloths. I just use the cloths bag as a pillow and that worked fine for the most part. The one thing that i was happy I brought was my Anti Monkey Butt for my chafing butt. The calamine powder helped me from not chafing because it was REAL bad on that first day. My trainer was making so much fun of me on the first day, which was fine because I was have made fun of me if I watched someone walking into the gas station the way I was. Man, I miss those earlier trainin' days. Good times.

Hey Jessie,...thanks for ruining my lunch. Good grief...

Neither of my sons will crap in a public toilet, clean or not. They must get it from their mother because I have no problem. LOL

Anyway, growing up we went camping, fishing and or dirt bike riding virtually every other weekend. Mikey the youngest, maybe 10 at the time, wouldn't crap for days. Then he would get home, lay a foot long plus coiler in the toilet and run around all proud of himself, asking everyone to come over and check it out. I'm guessing he probably gets that part from me. LOL

I hope G-Town don't read this at supper time, he's already lost his lunch today.

My 1st time out with trainer I had everything in one great big large duffel (think hunting duffel and you get the picture). It was not the best choice because I could really position it in the bunk where it wasn't in the way.

My 2nd trip out I brought several smaller bags. Pants and shirts in one, underwear and socks in another, etc... in any case, I had 5 small bags. I could line them up along the wall of my bunk and had plenty of room to stretch out.

Just another option to consider in the future.

LOL! Oh, I probably have hundreds of Mikey stories alone. Like I said, virtually every other weekend. One particular Thanksgiving for instance. We were remote camping out in the desert. I guess I wasn't really paying attention, but Mike apparently hadn't changed his underwear for the entire 5 day weekend. I know he changed clothes but I guess I never even thought to ask. We get home and Mary is sorting the laundry pile out in the garage. See, she wouldn't even let in the house until we'd stripped down and jumped in the shower. LOL

Anyway, she noticed Mikey only had one pair of underwear in the pile. All I hear is "JIMBO"...I'm thinking oh oh, now what? She tells me what she found and asked me if it was true. I'm like, heck I don't know...but look at it this way. Now you can tell how much fun he had by the size of the skid marks. She didn't think it was as funny as I did for some reason. LOL
