Thanks also to Andy & George for filming & editing. I know from experience how much time and effort that stuff takes....

Actually, it took less time to prepare for it than it did for me to present it.
I created an outline, starting with the first foil as an overview, then creating some bullets for each item.
My wife converted this to power point slides, which she uses often and I almost never do. I helped her find a few pictures to add to the power point slides to make it look more interesting. She printed the handouts (don't tell her boss).
Before we left the house for the rally I grabbed every thing I had that was mentioned in the slides for "show and tell". I found out just how heavy my generator and Pit-2-Go really are when I held them up!
I had around 5 hidden items in my copy of the slides to jog my memory. The rest of it I just rambled on and "winged it".
I think my experience and passion for dry camping made it easy to do. I did stumble along at times.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for saying so. In the beginning I had no idea what people would think of it. I never thought it would go past the West Coast rally attendees, but I know some copies have been shipped out of California.
I think George did the most work. He did all the video editing and also added the fade in/out in the upper left corner of the individual items. He also found better images on the web than I did. I'm sure that took a fair amount of time.
But if Andy had not recorded it, then we would have lost it all.
