I FINALLY caved to the portable hot shower this past trip down. It's not a must, but damn if it doesn't make changing out of a wetsuit at dusk just a
little easier.
Seems like every year I got older, one more piece of "unnecessary luxury gear" makes its way into my Baja gear.

I know what you are enjoying, Jorge. 
I went nomadic at age 6....made my first camping trip to the backyard using Mom's bedspreads on the clothsline as tent for Randy and me.
Been improvising ever since. I am a passionate buyer of things Cabela!
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Almost all my gear has a backpacking or climbing equipment logos on it. If it doesn't then it has been manufactured/ customized so it will suit the
need. I started with a car then went to a small truck and now full size long-bed. We were very comfortable in a car now we very comfortable with lots
of toys/crap. I have trouble leaving home without the 15' X 15' awning, and a full kitchen.
The volume of comfort and mission critical stuff increases with the volume of the transport.

mmc- isn't that the truth! from one ice chest( for beer), sleeping bag, cans of beans, some cheese and tortillas, matches, surfboard and wetsuit. that
was it for years, though each trip something got added, like a fishing pole here, a second ice chest there, tent, screen room, dishes, etc.,etc. still
do it with a tent but it takes every inch of space in my full size truck to take all the "necessities" down.

In the late 70's we would hop a plane to La Paz with a Ice Chest. Inside were shorts, t-shirts, backpacking stove, coffee pot,fry pan and a sleeping
bag. Surfboard wrapped in a towel and duct tape.($90.00both ways) Get off the plane and rent a VW van for the weekend. All the things we needed, but
the beer, coffee and the snacks. The big question was south or west. We didn't want or need much. I remember we always had waves.
