Ok, it's kind of weird I don't know where to put this but general vehicle maintenance seems closest. Back when I was in the Army, part of a wheeled vehicle maintenance unit we had these soft sided drain pans for emergencies. Basically if you're working on a vehicle and something unexpected...

I think it depends on how much use they're going to be having but I don't think you need to go too overboard with the straps you get, the $15 kit at the hardware store will be fine; your're not hauling 2 tons on a semi. Like people said, the sun and weather can destroy them after being exposed...

My Tepui had some of the lowest condensation I've ever had in a tent. But I always kept the windows open a crack.

Nice! My grandpa had a 3 burner coleman that ruled our family reunion camping trips (along with a massive griddle that sat on it for making pancakes). I might have to track down one for big future trips.

Running a website for a product you no longer distribute pretending it's still a part of that company is extremely shady (and probably illegal). Regardless of when it was registered or if you promise not to use it to spread disparaging information. It's textbook trademark infringement...

I think the biggest thing I forgot to consider with a RTT is how often you plan on driving away from your base camp. Every time you need to move your vehicle you need to pack/unpack your tent (and possibly bedding). I usually take pictures of sunrise/suntset and sometimes I'm driving to...

"Preppers" (I use quotes because I now consider the term derogatory, referring to bored suburban dads on message-boards rather than people who actually prepare for emergencies.) You're exactly right. For camping meals I'm usually preserving within the week before the trip and the trip itself...

I recently started switching from an RTT back to tents again too: Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL Backpacking Tent + KingCamp Ultralight Compact Folding Camping Tent Cot VERY compact, VERY lightweight Cot fits inside the tent to keep the mozzies off you. Tent can be used both with the vehicle and if...

I like going with the stackable containers. Divided by groups of gear so I can just grab and go camping based on what I need. Tent+Bedding Box Kitchen Box Non-Refrig Food box Portatoilet+Shower box Misc Box Make sure it's all cleaned and ready to go when you pack up so you just throw the...

If you use the Precision Take Off option it's better to have something high contrast for your landing location. That way if you auto-land it's a bit more accurate in bulls-eyeing your roof without it rising landing on an edge and falling off.

Those Dometics temperature gauge don't very accurately reflect the temperature of the cooler too well, it varies a ton depending on location in the box and I think their temp sensor is mounted on the coldest point against the refrigerator coils. They let in a lot of heat through the top so...

Good headphones not only provide great sounding music, they can also block out noisy neighbors too. If you really want good sound quality headphones are your best bet, plus it will give better sound blocking the neighbors rather than "overpowering" them. Personally Sennheiser is my brand of...

LOL! Mine too.

It's actually not that hard at all. Look on the side of your phone or tablet for a special button labeled "Power". Problem solved. If you can't turn that button off the problem isn't with the service providers.

I love that "pour over" is considered a gourmet way of brewing coffee now. :ROFLMAO: I grew up watching my dad do gourmet "pour over" coffee with a plastic filter holder and his tub of Folgers in the morning. Almost every generic Mr.Coffee and industrial sized coffee machines cranking out brew...

Interesting idea. You need to shade your windshield in the heat, solar panels provide shade behind them. Why not combine the two? I think for a sun shield inside the car the option you linked is about the best you'll get; charging USB items. If you want more serious power output I think I'd...

Well for help channel 9 has always been the de-facto emergency channel. It doesn't have to be a "Help me i'm dying" emergency channel. I've heard people using it just for safety and status updates for the local area, "Road X washed out, please bypass" "Vehicle stuck and needing a tow at area...

I've got the same thing all packed into a Stanley Adventure cookset https://amzn.to/2SGJRAs and love it! Although my purpose is a bit different. Usually in the pre-dawn mornings I go do sunrise photography and brew up 2 cups of coffee to take with me in a screw-top, vacuum mug. But some...

LOL! It totally depends on what you're doing and how much water you use/waste on your trips. I come from a backpacking background growing up. Desert backpacking, where you have to haul multiple days worth of water. So hauling that water weight on your feet makes you very "water wise". The...

But do they even have the 10L? Sometimes it's more important to get the specific size needed rather than the biggest+best deal. Personally I'm moving away from 5gal jugs just because they're so unwieldly when in camp. I'd rather have two 2.5gal, or even just one since on short trips I rarely...
