[dsn_klr650] thoughts on new creation? & pelican cases.

[Ron Haraseth]

Mark, if I get you right, you will use the bike/case for one attachment of a table and need another for support.  I carry a piece of 1/8 in melamine hard board in my soft pannier for use on the ground, but for your purpose, I would suggest an adjustable leg. I also carry one (sometimes two) collapsible hiking poles.  Primarily for fly support for my hammock tarp both for when in the trees and when no trees on the ground.  For table top, I would suggest plastic polyethylene material (cutting board material). I also use it for hiking (old knees) and on my last trip it was loaned to a riding partner who needed a cane. (He broke his ankle first day, but kept riding the whole week - story for another day).

(first thought small! chains & hooks? BUT! I want it Higher on the case to stand next to it, Down low on the case I would have been able to hook the chains to the top. of the case.  OK ATTACK the issue
