Camping with the Small

I am going on a family camping trip in a couple weekends and think about taking the small egg.  Transporting the egg itself is not an issue as I can carry it myself.  The problem is that we camp on a sand bank along the river.  Thinking taking the nest isn't a good idea due to sand getting into the bearings of the casters.  Do you see any issues with the egg just sitting in the sand?  Planning on only doing low and slow so temps wouldn't get crazy.

    I took my xl camping back during the summer and it sat on a dirt/gravel and even partially on the wood that outlines the campsite with no problems. I agree with the sand in the wheels, believe I would stay away from that. If transportation is no issue you could take two cement blacks to sit it on.

    I would take a small camp shovel and a few cinder blocks to build a base and allow you to get it up to a normal level.

    You can't roll the nest over sand if the small egg is in it. Carry the egg and nest to the cooking site. Use a couple of pieces of wood to put the nest on. Place the egg in the nest.

    No issues sitting on the sand

    or on the pavement for that matter
