Nothing is really big. Anything I should take into consideration?

Vibration to where your hands are -
I *know* there are anti-vibe 'things'
out there, but even when you're 
familiar with chain saws - **and if 
you're not you'd better have a keeper
tell you about them** - one has a 
tendency to ignore long-term 'results'
from short-term use. My ole hands
benefited from fancy bike gloves with
gel palm-pads just for using an ordinary 
weedwhacker - but they don't have 
any anti-vibe 'cushions' on cheap 
residential models, and maybe not on
the others, either ....

I don't know if it is possible, Don, but something like a rice cooker or a
crockpot could be working on your food while you travel, if it can be
secured. Doesn't take much power. They might even run off the cigarette
lighter.
