FIrst off, thank you so much for looking into this for folks to enjoy. There were some methods that were missed however. Unless you are made from buckets of money and countless time, I can't see you being able to test everything. Here are some other options to consider though. #1. Coleman fuel...

Valid point, and one of the reasons I haven't landed a new tent yet. My Coleman bags are over 15 years old, so hard to say what's going on with them now...

Flannel sheets work well as sleeping bag liners to add additional warmth and comfort.

Mind you, I am considerably heavier than that. I an old Coleman king size 30 degree bag that I like with Mexican blankets. The 40" width is nice and roomy, even for me, and it's tall enough I can tuck my head inside the bag should I desire to do so... The liner is something similar to flannel...

Just FWIW, I have been looking for a good quality instant tent, 10x12ish with at least a 6' interior center height. Looking at the reviews of the Coleman, and Ozark Trail models, I am getting a bad feeling about these tents. The idea here is to minimze futzing with poles. I have no qualms...

Ability for shorter people to set up, or at least help set up is VERY important for my wife and I. My lovely bride is 5' 0" so yeah, if it's too tall for her to help, and needs 2 people, it's not an option for us...

4 room tent is going to be stupid huge, heavy, and hard to set up even being an instant tent. I think the closest you are going to find at a reasonable price is going to be something like the Ozark Trail 20x10 Dark Rest Instant Cabin Tent. Mind you, I personally dislike Ozark Trail tents, but...

I've always had wobbly ankles to a sort. So yeah, I really do need ankle support. For now, I simply power through the pain of lacing my boots up, and mind you the secondary diagnosis caused by the degenerative disk disorder is arthritis in the lower back. I am not sure how much longer I am...

On my initial sleep study, I couldn't go a minute asleep without an apnea event. On CPAP, on the sleep study anyway, I went to zero events with no mask leakage, with some leakage, I am averaging 3 over 8 hours. Depending on the severity of your apnea, a mouthpiece will do it, but with mine, I...

I've never gone into detail on it, mostly because I have a causal suspicion, but no real proof, but I am definately mobility limited due to degenerative disk disorder. This creates a sitaution where the sciatic nerve gets pinched on a positional basis. For longer walks I HAVE to use either a...

I chucked my last electric after it broke 10 years ago. Sorry I don't recall the specific model. Pretty sure one was Poulan, and another was Remmington. I know not great, but I have seen LOTS of other saws on the market from other MFGs and the electrics I saw all seemed to be as poorly made as...

Electrics need power. Battery electrics simply aren't there for any serious log cutting power wise, so corded would be the way to go, meaning you'd have to haul a generator, gas, extension cord etc... Electric chain saws tend to be built to a MUCH lighter duty standard than gas, with LOTS of...

True enough. I typically cook for 2, however when I do have extended family along on trips we use 2 white gas 2 burner stoves. Pollo Asado isn't my favorite camp dish, however I have been known to make Carne Guisada on the Coleman. (I'm a Texan). Like I said, the Skottle looks like those...

I first saw a Skottle in a video shared on Youtube this morning. My main thoguht was why suck up that much space? It looks like one of those things they use to cook meat for street tacos in Mexico. Not a bad thing, just seems like it is overkill for overlanding or camping.

So as I have mentioned in other areas, I have been contemplating a fridge for this rig, but something I am thinking here, for right or wrong. #1. I am not going to take a 16 year old light duty pickup truck accross the world, especially since parts and repairs aren't likely to be available. #2...

110 liters is 116.23 quarts. That's roughly 2 60qt coolers, and that's HUGE.

This list is much harder to come up with than I had imagined. Not because I don't know what to take, but my situation changes depending on the trip and who is with us. My wife and I tend to be the ones with the camping gear, and while we insist those that camp with us bring their own tent...

I'm glad to see you got yours done and in use. I still haven't started mine. Still considering going with the over rail / sideways bed idea. Glad to see another '04 - 08 F150 owner making a go of it as well... Love these trucks, hate that 5.4L engine though.

Until my truck engine rebuild and custom camper are done, I have / will be continuing to have the following setup. I am 6' and when I bought the following, I was over 400lbs, I have dropped a considerable amount, but still need bedding that will hold over 300lbs of me, plus my wife, so... #1...

That looks awesome, but about 20" too narrow for my application...
