George’s Mini Vardo Project
George one of our readers spotted Katy’s Don Vardo and emailed me to let me know he was in the progress of building his own little vardo and would enjoy sharing his project with us.
Using a home built trailer using classic and modern building techniques and style. Based on traveler’s and “gypsy” wagons from Britain and France as well as sheep wagons from the western U.S. George is keeping this to the absolute minimum in size and weight. George doesn’t plan to live in it so it can be thought of a base camp.
You can view more pictures and follow his project at his Paleotool’s Weblog. I will also do an updated post when George completes the vardo, so stay tuned.

I wanted to add a (nearly) finished photo as an update on the vardo project. It has been used from New Mexico to southern California, back through the midwest and up through the Dakotas. She crossed some serious mountain grades back in the southern Rockies and is now in the final shakedown finish-up-loose-ends phase of the build. There has been lot of great feedback and ideas both via the ‘net and from the road.
