Thanks Mike. Everyone I know is using thier fridge this weekend so it looks like I may be rigging my own wiring. What size wire should I run from the front of the FZJ80? If I calculate it right #14 or #12 would be ample for the 2.7 amp draw. Sound about right?

So I picked up a 45qt Engel with the travel bag at the Outdoor Retailers show. I'm leaving on a trip to run the Zions Narrows, North Rim of GC and then off to Farmington. I leave late tuesday night or the next morning. The problem is the Engel guys didn't bring the 12v DC power cord with them...

Take care in choosing the silicon you use if you go that route. A lot of silicon will yellow over time. Keep it just around the edges and you will probably be fine.

Outdoor Retailers show in Salt lake this week. It's a vender only show for the outdoor industry. Very cool stuff if you can get in. I'll be there Thursday.:victory:

mmm I love asparagus on the grill. Like has been said. Olive oil, Kosher salt, garlic powder and a little pepper. Even my three little kids inhale the stuff.

That 's a good one! Most people seems to catch the infection of one sort of vehicle or another. There are even people that love Bronco II's(I owned one but didn't druel over it). My 76 fj40 has around 200k miles on it and sits in the garage torn apart waiting for priorities to shake out...

I think we need to break out the old Land Cruiser Mailing List cleansing ritual to make sure his cruiser doesn't get infected with any remaining Roversyndrome. I believe besides washing all of our truck, he has to bathe in gear oil until the Rover smell is gone. Just kidding Rover...

Sorry to hear about the sale. Wish I had the money you will be asking for it. 3 kids in the 80 is getting crowded. Not that I ever go anywhere anymore between work and my wifes business. We had camping trips planned twice a month this summer....been 0 times.

Be carefull with superglue. They make a medical type that is pretty safe, but your generic hobby shop superglue has a lot of chemicals that you do not want in your body. I still cary a tube of it in my medical kit, but I go the route of other bandages before breaking it out. You should also...

I don't know how it is in Uganda, but in many places the issue with the boiling part is the lack of fuel and high rate of fire related accidents. I agree, without a well or a source of marginally clean water to begin with a well would be the natural first step.

I've had a lot of ice left in mine and in my buddy's Galaxy after 5 days. Sure there there was some that had melted, but my food was still cold enough. When I bought mine I had the chance to buy an Engel fridge for 2.5x what I paid for the cooler. I figure if I'm going out over 5 days I'm...

Working in the market that I do I can honestly say that if Watercone is changing $30-50 per unit and are marketing it as a "help the 3rd world" type company they are raping people. There is probably less than $2 in cost there. Add in another $2 in labor and machine time and you have $4 or less...

I've been using one of the early Pentax WP cameras. 5mp 3x optical zoom. I've had it for about 5 years now. It has survived several snorkeling trips in hawaii and a few 10 day float trips in Alaska. That and every other offroad trip and event in that time. I'll post a few pics when I get a...

The best thing you can do when packing your cooler for a multi day trip is to start with a cold cooler. It's like a car using most of it's gas to get moving, it doesn't take near as much to keep it moving. I usually have extra ice bottle that I keep in the cofin freezer so I toss them in for...

I am excited that Galaxy/Icee is still around. I know you guys got moved and during the whole name change there was confusion at the Outdoor Retailers show and then I heard from a guy in Colorado that you had gone under. I bought my Engel because of the reports of your demise and wish I had...

My Marmot Precip has lasted for 5 years and several 10 day trips with solid rain in Western Alaska. I'd buy another.

I could never do this. My parents and my wife would probably let me rot in there a long while. Good luck on a good cause.

Just an FYI. My wife picked up a few free coupons at Smiths Grocery store for $3 off any 2 bags of Kingsford Charcoal. While at Home Depot Saturday they had a 2 pack of 21lb bags (42 total lbs) on sale for $9. After returning to the grocery store for a few more coupons I bought 22 - 21lb bags...

so the kids were driving my wife nuts on sunday so I gay each of them a camera and took them for a walk around the yard and nieghborhood. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and content on a lot of the pictures my 3 year old son took. The first is one I took of Kyson bending tubing for...

I believe most PLB's are much higher powered and get satalite reception much easier. I would have been dead and not known where I was with my SPOT in Hawaii a few weeks ago. Same thing up a wide canyon here in Utah in January- my spot could not get a satalite locked in. I still use my spot...
