Maybe I missed it but what kind of cooler did you use ?

Just got back from a 6 day family trip at the local campgrounds. While hardly Expo material. Did get to use the trailer for the first time and also several new pieces of equipment. With the Jeep stuff that we plan on doing..........A Galaxy is in the works..... But with the family stuff, 110...

Thanks for the link Titan. Again as a newbie I am still trying to learn this stuff. So many tents to choose from it is hard to make a good choice without some help. Opie, yours looks good but I think is a bit to big for my RTT plans. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks for the support folks. As a newbie I am trying to learn as I go and share my experiences. Some of this stuff is probably old news to many of you. But reading the comments makes me feel confident that we are at least heading down the right track. Thanks for the addition sources !!

Going along with the equipment /store post I wanted to share/ask a few things. Our equipment seems to be working out fairly well for a multi night stay in one place. I do however think that I made a few mistakes if one wants to be a "mobile" camper. Staying in a new rustic spot each night...

A few observations on several recent purchases/store reviews/camping trip. First off my experience with Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, Gander and REI. All the store visits were within the last 30 days in and around the Detroit Michigan area. 1. Bass Pro. Nice store with plenty of Nature Scenes built...

Anyone recall Herters ? My dad and myself used to go to the Utica Michigan store. That would have been back in the EARLY 70. Maybe even late 60`s. They had some cool stuff.

Found this on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Gallon-Electric-Pump-Hand-Dispenser-Water-Bottle-Gift_W0QQitemZ150324280077QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item150324280077&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 If...

Thanks for the links Corey. Sent a message to the water shack to make sure they had the pump and the correct bottle for it to thread into. No response yet but hopefully soon. In the mean time I`ll give eBay a try, thanks Darton.

Just an FYI, after reading your eval on the 5 gallon pumps. Got in touch with the vendor, Jack`s Tool Shed. Out of stock and no longer available. Did a Goggle and found the same result. The hand powered pump is available however. Not as cool as the battery one but better then nothing...

First off, do not want this to turn into a 12v vs. ice. Gonna be an ice but between, Engel, Tropic and Yeti. Want something in the 50 quart size but here is the best I can do. Engel 65 $265 http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=4430 Yeti 45 $279...

Thanks guys for the help. I have to admit to being somewhat of a newbie when it comes to this stuff. Know where I want to go, just need a bit of help in getting there. I`ll take a look at the Coleman propanes, snag an extra mantle or two just in case. Now who would of thought of transporting...

Thanks Corey, I was kinda hoping that someone would say that they are tough and rugged like the Partner stoves. Do you think the globe is fragile glass ? LED`s are very long lasting but there inhent design makes for a poor light source. Be it the light wavelength or the lumen output. Plus LEDs...

Saw the Partner Steel Company lantern on their web site. A Google did`nt bring much. Nor did a search here on Expo. http://www.partnersteel.com/camp5.htm Anyone use one ? How is the light output ? Are they going to be a tough as the stoves ? Thanks !!

Kodiak showed up yesterday. :wings: Now looking for a several folding cots. Space is a premium so a cot that folds into a small package is a plus. Liked the SlumberJacks but they don`t fold. Leary of the Colemans. Any recommendations ?

The Fed Ex man is supposed to be here today or tomorrow. I`ll set it over the weekend and "break it in" .

[/COLOR][/B] A good question as chances are mine will be hauled outside also. FWIW I got the 6055 from ebay NEW 6055 10x10 ft Scout Camping Kodiak Canvas Wall Tent Was the title. competitiveedgeproducts Was the seller They have a 365 or best offer. 325 got it. On the Compet. (non eBay)...

Thanks again for all the help Expo forum folks have given me in choosing a tent. After considering the many choices out there to what my needs are. Have come up with a compromise of sorts. While the Kodiak and Springbar 10x10`s are a little big and heavy for SOME of my uses. They do work...

This is something I will do. Called the Local REI and by the end of next week they will have the summer stuff set up on display. Thanks again for everyones help !!

Wow great advice guys. Just the information I was looking for. Not being very tent savvy it can be hard to understand what features can meet my needs. Or what features I need. With these replies I can now do some knowledgeable searching. One wet, cold weekend with a hard to set up leaky tent...
