Favorite nonessentials?

I see a million “camping essentials” lists online but having trouble finding “nonessentials.”

Like string lights inside the tent. Or a collapsible table for food prep when the top of a cooler works fine. Stuff you don’t really need but makes things easier or more fun (besides packing them up).

Nemo Switchback for Two

I have a Nemo Switchback sleeping pad. I like it. Trying to get whole family into camping. Bought a duo sleeping bag for my wife and I. Need a sleeping pad for it.

What I really want is a Nemo that’s a 72x60ish version of the 72x20 Nemo that I currently have. Maybe more folds or a comprise on size would be needed, fine. I don’t think this exists anyway.

Can I glue two together side by side? Would the gap between two of them really be that bad?

I would buy two or three of them if attaching them side by side isn’t too much trouble. Please help.

Where to Buy Just a Receiver?

My plan is to make a space cowboy Marlin 1895 in .357. The Dark Series is cool but I think it can be wackier. Maybe an SBR in FDE idk. So all I need is a blued receiver (and mag tube? Need to research more on how that works) and everything else will be aftermarket. Don’t need original stock or anything like that. If I bought a complete one that stuff is basically just going in the trash/hoard closet, ie a waste.

I can check my local gun show that comes by occasionally but is there a website that focuses on piecing out parts or anything like that?

Sword in the Stone = Blue Wizard?

Watching Disney’s Sword in the Stone and Merlin is rocking his blue dress and hat. Any possibility they went unnamed to not make an obvious connection to another classic tale?
