Turning while Camping
I sorta like the idea of Mac's where you turn just enough to pay for the
trip. I met a fellow at a camp site on Barren River Lake in Kentucky this
past April who carves fish from driftwood he collects. He told me since
retiring 3 years ago he and his wife have basically lived in campgrounds and
his carvings paid for 50% of his campground fees. Now if I could make enough
to pay for the fuel, I'd gladly pay the camping fee.

I wholeheartedly agree. I still remember camping in Yosemite Valley,
and seeing the setup at a nearby campsite: two families pitched their
tents face to face, surrounded the space with tarps, and sat inside
playing cards.
Want to do woodturning? Stay home. Or you could construct a large
enclosed trailer, with a complete shop inside. Besides selling your
turnings to the campers, you could probably get additional revenue by
putting beer ads on the outside surfaces. For the sarcasm impaired:
TIC.
Considering the cost of fuel and the mpg of most of those rigs, it may
come to beer ads on the side for many of them!
