    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    So, you don’t see any difference between sporting a pistol at a remote camp site vs a place of business within city limits? Interesting. Also, never said that “armed and dangerous” was my intention. You said that. I guess you are asking if I think I would be more likely to be forced to defend...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I didn't read much of the thread. Too long. So forgive me if this has already been discussed. Just some of my thoughts to share. Doesn't make me right about anything. Always wanted to get my concealed carry license but haven't got around to it. Each time I hear about some public shooting...

    RTT size?

    I will also vote for bigger. I am six foot and need to stretch out to sleep. My RTT (hardshell) is 79 inches long and I can just barely fit diagonally. A second person would render it useless. My second RTT (folding canvas) has a mattress that is 83 inches long. World of difference. If you...

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    I've noticed that there is always a puddle of water in the bottom of the Adventure Trailers tool box after running the Propex. That must explain why. After a good bit of Googling, it seems that the Diesel and Gas heaters are finicky about elevation (over 5000) and maintenance (carbon buildup)...

    How to camp with dogs!

    I tend to worry about my pooch. Always need to know where she is, what she is doing, etc. Kindof a pain at camp. Especially after dark. The best discovery I have made is to get her own sleeping bag for camping. When it starts to get dark I will plunk it down in a camp chair. She will wait until...

    Camp Stereo

    Sennheiser is going to release a new set of truly wireless ear buds this month. I plan to pick up a set and give them a try around camp. I have had the IE8 wired buds for years, but stopped using them due to the cord (and my iPhones failure to have a convenient 1/8 inch headphone jack). I'm...

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    Good info. I hadn't thought about changing from Propex. I do have dual gasoline tanks in the van for a total of 40 gallons. You sir, have given me something to Google! What is the general consensus about the reliability for gasoline heaters? Better or worse than a Propex? I don't mean to hijack...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    And you now have a new, faithful worshipper. Me. That is a great idea. How long do you need to cook that? I'm not sure if I want to marry you, or camp with you. But...it's definitely one or the other. Or both. Very impressed sir. That is very impressive camp food.

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    I've got a question for you peeps. I currently have an HS2000 in an Adventure Trailers toolbox (older model tool box). Now that I am moving to a van, I am thinking about selling my current setup and purchasing a Propex HS2211 so that I can permanently mount it under the van. Of course, I would...

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    A couple of notes from a guy that has been running a Propex in an Adventure Trailers tool box for an RTT for two seasons: I have never extended the combustion intake/outtake more than the lengths contained inside the AT toolbox and always used the heater while sitting right outside my tent (on...

    FS Galvanized Jeep Kitchen (now called Overland Kitchen)

    Hi Yall, I'm going to sell my galvanized Jeep Kitchen because I'm moving to a van and need to build new drawers to fit a Snow Peak IGT. Located in western Montana. The company is now called "Overland Kitchen", but it's the same thing. It is important to note that my model is galvanized sheet...

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    Lol, sounds like a life spent playing with a Propex. I feel your pain brother. To be fair, most of the time I haven't been able to get my Propex to work it was because I was half-in-the-bag when I set it up. Finally found out that one time I had set it in a place that blocked one of the...

    7-pin Wiring Issue/Question

    When I was a younger pup I managed a small stereo shop doing 12 volt work and then progressed to wiring up cop cars, fire trucks, search and rescue rigs, ambulances, etc. This doesn't make me any sort of expert, but I can tell you that just about every trailer wiring setup I've seen (both...

    Camp Stereo

    Thanks for being gracious fellows. I really felt like a jerk after spouting off. Gonna have to blame it on the Budweiser. :confused: Please don't let my antics kill the thread. It would be great to find a small, battery-powered device that would play at a reasonable volume when camping alone. A...

    I used to use the Propex in a second-hand Adventure Trailers "toolbox" with the Jeep. But, the Jeep has been decommissioned and I'm preparing to install the heater in a van.

    Snow Peak Addiction

    I have a double-wall Ti SP mug, and it's a nice mug in the sense that you don't need to worry about rust, or breaking it...but I noticed that if you fill it with very hot coffee and let it sit for a while it will certainly burn your lips when you drink from it. Had assumed that an insulated mug...

    Camp Stereo

    My last post was a little bit snotty. Maybe more than a little bit. Sorry about that. I hadn't thought about the fact that it may not be easy to get away from other people in other parts of the country...or the world for that matter.
