    TrailWerks Racks? $1600?!?!?!

    I really like the look of the rack. Guess I may have to whip out the tubing bender and get a little more creative with my overhead storage. For $1600 you could still powder coat your own for $200, buy a JD2 bender and die for $600, tubing for $150 and spend a couple weekends putting it...

    water cans...Plastic/Metal?

    Purchased the MFCs prior to the rule change. There are always several on ebay, but they want a pretty penny for them. I'll have to see if I can did up the military test protocol for the MFC and post it here.

    water cans...Plastic/Metal?

    i've got both the Scepter and the LCI cans and they are very close. Finish on the LCI cans isn't as nice as the Scepter, but they seem to be the same thickness plastic (based on wt.). My scepter has an oring on the air breather knob where the LCI didn't. It cost me a whole quarter each to...

    Mr Heater Buddy Heaters on Sale at Lowes

    They still had both models on sale in Lehi Utah last night. Lowes is funny. If they are still there in two more weeks they will most likely drop the price in half again. I bought one of those $50 oil radiator home heaters last year for $6. They had a whole pallet of them. I kick myself for...

    Recommend me a canoe (2 adults + 2dogs)

    I work in the plastics industry and trust me , we would have been swimming instead of pounding out dents. The plastic would have cracked open a mile wide with the degree this thing bent.

    Been To Utah?

    Moabs great. I used to spend at least one weekend a month down there since it was only 3hrs from Provo. Married with 3 kids now so I only get down there once a year. Good luck.

    Recommend me a canoe (2 adults + 2dogs)

    I've got two of the aluminum Grumens. One is a giant thick skinned beast that they usually have up at scout camps. Absolutely indestructable. The other is probably one of the "newer" designs as it is much lighter, but less stable from what I have experienced. I am actually in need of another...

    Expo First Aid Kits-- What to Carry?

    Years ago i used to have a very nice medical kit that I took with me everywhere. It was some EMT kit i got on a really good sale. It was far more than I would ever be able to use with the certifications I had at the time. I know people have stated tht you should only carry what you know how...

    difference in water and fuel cans

    No problem. I do this type of product testing for a living. I really wish it had worked out to use them. I really like the scepters, but the Nato metal cans are pretty good as well. There are a few places around that still sell them. Good luck.

    difference in water and fuel cans

    I explored this pretty indepthly a year or two ago. MY goal was to use the buylci.com water cans for fuel. They are very very close to the Scepter water cans. I ended up deciding not to do it. I researched out the military spec for the scepter fuel cans and recreated the testing on the LCI...

    DIY LED lights

    I cut them into 6 light sections and put each section 16" apart above my cabinets and they still light up very well. I would get the higher output ones for a few bucks more even though the ones I have would work fine under a vehicle. I won't have time until the weekend, but I might be able to...

    DIY LED lights

    I didn't want to post in on Safari's thread on LED lights. Those light strips are a great option. I figured I'd post up a DIY option that looks to use very similar lights and might give people the ability to customize thier own...

There is a long list of other items that are "just add hot water" that we suplement fish with for other meals. Stove Top Stuffing Idaho mashed potato packets...

    The last piece of Tuna I bought was almost double that per pound. It was no better than the stuff I had bought for $15/lb a month earlier.

    sushi recipes

    Thanks for the post kc0tma. I'm not a big fan of the Seaweed being on the outside so I usually reverse all my sushi so the rice is outside. I've been doing a lot with Eel, fake crab and smoked salmon. I'm trying to come up with a good source for fish here in Utah, but there's not much of an...

    4x4 Mini School Bus on CL in NM

    We used to have a mini school bus for our surfing trips in Maine in the winter time. We'd surf to 20 minutes then crash in the bus with a bunch of heaters for 30 minutes. Great memories. That bus would make a great platform to build from. good luck,.

    Beware of fake Safari Snorkels hitting the market.

    Great info. That would all have to be part of the Due-Diligence prior to knocking off or starting over on a product before the design and prototpying phases. I would have never guessed that even throughout the US that it would take years to sell off a few hundred units. So if the original...
