Two ladies in Lubboock have hit on a clever idea for the ultimate insomewhat portable tail gating.  

Their idea uses a self contatined highly modified 8 x 20 Shipping Container. Frankly this is the sort of over the top idea I usually associate with an oil boomg. 

Speaking as an ex oilfield hand,one would need to mount this on a skid with the requisite pipe and ends on one end so it could be pulled up onto a trailer of an 18 wheeler. 

That frankly seems impractical. The better idea woud be a self contained  8 x 20 trailer that could be pulled behind a pickup or SUV with a frame. Or they could furnish an undercarriage of two axles and a frame to pull this but I suspect this is a rather heavy structure. A modified travel trailer with aluminum sides and again an undercarriage with an axle and tires would be better. 

Here is a view of the unit presumably ready to be moved. But honestly unless you have a Peterbilt and float at your house I am baffled on how this is transported. 

The video they furnish desperately calls out for a decent audio track the microphone should have been on the person speaking or better yet added later in post processing. 

But give the gals credit for a unique idea.
