    diesel fuel filter / water separator

    Rick, look at the list I posted. Most of those filters are $10 or less, depending on which one(s) select. The 3770 filter head is getting hard to find as-is. But it's easy if you just go to the Perma-Cool site and order their 1-14" threaded filter head, it's a little bit more than the $24...

    Open fire cooking setups?

    I do have a forge, but I didn't use it to make the tripod, just cut off 3/8" eye bolts and then welded them onto the end of the rod. I did use the forge to make the dinner bell, but that was just to heat the metal up so I could bend it into the three angles you see in the pic. Good luck.

    Generator grounding

    Don't ground. I don't have the NEC to quote from, so I won't (should be in section 250). Basically, it's safer to not run a separate ground on portable gensets. I know, I used to do it too. If I can find the specific reference tomorrow at work, I'll post it up. Good luck.

    diesel fuel filter / water separator

    Can't help with the heater part of it, but here's fairly decent list of fuel filters that show which one have drains etc. Don't like Napa/Wix, just cross to your favorite brand and go to town. Good luck.

    Metal NATO water can issue

    Sounds like you have two, almost brand new, jerry fuel cans, minus a few minutes with a spray paint can. You can't reliably fix those for less than two brand new MWCs from LCI, IMO.

    Open fire cooking setups?

    The firepit weighs around 100-120 lbs, it stays in the back yard where you see it; it's only moved when we need to mow the back yard. The tripod and grill are easy to transport; the grill comes apart so it lays flat, the tripod, no more than three 1/2" bars about 48" long, no biggie. Thanks,

    Open fire cooking setups?

    Did someone mention cast iron? My firepit set up in my back yard: firepit made from materials donated by the local Southern Pacific railroad, grill that fits over the firepit, tripod to hang a cast iron dutch oven and a dinner bell. All homemade. Good luck.

    Gerber Military Tactical LMF II - A.S.E.K. Knife $59

    I difference I noted (I got the SAE spec from work - PM if anyone wants a copy) is that the SAE spec calls for a leather grip and sheath, neither of which the Gerber LMF II has, but the original ASEK does. Just what I saw in the 2-5 seconds I glanced at it while saving it on my HD. I don't...
