    Guinea vs Guinea-Bissau

    I'd avoid Guinea Conakry, pretty unstable right now. In the late 1970s I passed through there on a motor cycle from Sierra Leone to Mali. That was at a time when the US and Guinea had no diplomatic relations. I used dollars and some kola nut to make it through.

    Snow peak baja burner on propane tank. Anyone done this yet?

    My advice would be to try it outside. I never had any problems with the original set-up we used with the tank and adapter, but better safe than blown to hell.

    Snow peak baja burner on propane tank. Anyone done this yet?

    There is a trade off with propane but from my 10 years of using the Baja with propane I don't see it as a huge issue. A lot of our camping and almost all of our initial 3 year road trip Isobutane and especially the snowpeak variety of canisters simply were not available. Try finding that in the...

    3 Years Around North America, Plus a Few More

    Bought Back the Sportsmobile Been a while since I've posted - a long while - but thought you all may be interested in knowing how and why we repurchased our T1N after five years in a truck camper. This winter we spent 6 weeks in the southwest. A portion of that time was wet and cold. So wet...

    How do you level your rig when camping?

    I'd say the most we've had was around 2% east-west and 3% north-south. That's not too bad, and often the east-west is in our favor with the height at our heads. So, never really been enough of an issue to warrant having levelers. I have moved the truck on more than one occasion to offset a...

    How do you level your rig when camping?

    I don't level and never expect to. We spent 20 years under tarps and inside bivies on all kinds of Alaskan beaches to worry about a 2% incline in the truck camper.

    Snow peak baja burner on propane tank. Anyone done this yet?

    I've been using propane -- initially the green 1lb cans, and of late a 5lb -- with the baja stove for 10 years. I bought a Kovea LPG adapter which has a pressure controller intended for summer/winter adjustments, and also helps at different elevations. It works flawlessly. This past winter I...

    Jackery Solar Generator 1500: The Best Solution for Powering Camp?

    I couldn't make a toaster, much less a system like the Jackery. It's not just convenience, it's reliability and compactness.

    That's about 10 less than what I paid for ours in 2014. Must be riding the vanlife wave. Thanks for the link.

    Snow Peak Addiction

    I've mastered the one pot/skillet dinner over the years and wouldn't want a two burner anything. The Baja is fantastic for cooking inside or out.

    I'm surprised you confuse condescension with preferences, given that you seem to have a lot of opinions yourself. Cheers.

    Propane cooking stove

    Tradition! .... This from a couple of different sources "Traces of ash found in the Wonderwerk cave in South Africa suggest that hominins were controlling fire at least 1 million years ago, the time of our direct ancestor Homo erectus. Burnt bone fragments also found at this site suggest that...
