    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    If I were going to be out that long I'd get a much heavier bag than I have and use the heater to warm up the tent before sleep and then to warm up when I wake up.

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    I use a small Kovea heater on a wooden board (for stability) in my RTT. I put a small fan over the heater to circulate the air. Otherwise all the heat will get trapped at the top of the tent. The tent heats up very quickly...

    Jackery 500 or new group 31?

    43 amps on the Jackery vs 100 amps for a GP31 battery not much of a comparison. One could easily buy 10 years or more of Gp 31 batteries for the cost of one much less powered Jackery.

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Some pictures from a recent trip on the Camino Del Diablo. Other than putting 26" tires on the trailer, I need to figure out how to get it to ride level. I'm thinking a 4 inch riser either on the truck side or on the trailer side. Whatever works the best.

    Just a reminder, the tongue box is not dust proof. After 200 miles on the Camino del Diablo the box was filled with dust and the items I had on top were covered in sand.

    This is the first I've heard anyone able to tell us the stock tongue weight. approx 380 lbs. Makes sense

    This was a known issue for the older trailers. Hopefully the newer ones don't have that flaw.

    Mount “ditch spots” on tow hooks? / legality / clamps?

    I don't know why you would want to disable your tow points. Why not just mount the lights on the bumper and not make things more complicated than it needs to be.

    Garmin inReach for Papua Backcountry

    My son will be flying in and out of remote villages in the Papua backcountry. He currently has a Garmin SPOT, but I'm wondering if the inReach would better serve him for emergency communication. Do you want him to be able to communicate, say hi and I'm OK? Initiate a Search and Rescue (SAR)...

    I added some mudflaps. I used some spare 1 x 1 aluminum square to space out the tube behind the fender.
