Same here. I started with pretty much bare essentials and then stepped up to a 6x12 cargo trailer that is multi-use (bbq in summer, decoys in fall/winter). I've done 3 contests out of the trailer now and I already find myself looking for another upgrade to a toy hauler or porch trailer to make it more enjoyable for the family/friends that come with. The tents work, the trailer works, but to me it's become something more than just a competition. It's become a weekend getaway to enjoy time with family and friends and meet a lot of great people.
