I still am in disbelief that Ford doesn't offer a pickup truck, fullsized or not, with locking rear and front differentials. Dodge has the Power Wagon, Chevrolet has the Colorado ZR2 & now the fullsized 1500 ZR2. I think they are missing out on market share. Once you have a 4x4 pickup with...

The trouble is, that they keep stop making things so often, sometimes what someone has & works great, is no longer available. I have a 38" wide air mattress from Cabelas for their Alaskan Guide XL cot. It works great. I am 5'6" & 247. A year later we bought a second cot but the only air...

If you have an ARB Fridge/freezer: Do yourself a favor, just do it : get yourself the Arb plug kit with fuse and 18' of 10 ga wire. The plug that came with the fridge unscrews and screws into the ARB plug. Don't cut the wire if you have extra. But don't kink it, roll it into a circle and gently...

We have one of those big 36" folding cooking grates. We love it for exactly that reason. Cooking over open fire when no fire ring w/grill is available. Another way I use it is to get 2 of those big disposable foil type oven pans, fill it up with charcoal & light it & put grill grate over it...

If none of the above work, my money would be on the trigger switch. My son has a bunch of ego equipment. His lawn mower stopped working, it was a broken wire. I could have fixed it for him but they sent him a new mower. No batteries, no charger, no side discharge chute, no bagger, no blade...

If you have money that you just don't know what to do with, there is some super quality stuff here. https://bushcraftspain.es/

I'll try, I'm technology challenged, stand by. Hopefully that worked.

This is interesting. Kinda like a mini version of a walk in cooler. I saw one in person once. It sure was cold. He used 2 window a/c units. Walls were at least a foot thick. Not sure if he removed the thermostats but they seemed to run nonstop while I was there. Good idea to keep batteries...

I just watched a great YouTube video of someone who took bed sheets and made them 100% waterproof. I was impressed. Lightweight too. He used a 3:1 ratio of Naptha & 1 whole tube of 100% silicone caulking. Dissolve the silicone into the Naptha in a non-reactive container, soak the sheet in it...

We use a Thetford cassette toilet. Works great. No issues, empty before we leave Campgrounds or flush down toilet at gas station. No stink. I disinfect it with bleach. I use the orange additive to a clean tank. Only issue I ran into was at the Hoover Dam. The guys with the machine guns (...

There is keeping things frozen and then there is freezing things. We have 2 ARB Fridge/freezers. They ARE NOT designed to freeze things. They are designed to keep things frozen or keep things cold. They are designed to put cold or frozen things into, not to drop the temperature of items from...

It drastically helps if you can put the empty bottle in freezer for 20 minutes before refilling it.

If you ever get tired of the weight of it, don't be afraid to experiment. When we got married in 1985, I was unemployed, just out of the Army. We only had enough money for 1 night at a hotel in Niagara Falls. So we drove to Alexandria Bay State Park. We got there at 10 pm. Someone was in our...

That picture of the person with a mask on with their head inside the bag is friggin priceless !!! Only thing I have seen at that level is : a video of a person swimming in a chlorinated public pool and also wearing a mask, both above and below the water line . People are awesome !!! It will...

We have traveled cross country on more than a few occasions. We are 60 now & still do it. Our success is a 3 person Cabelas tent with full coverage rainfly also coated with Nikwax. Seen heavy storms, no leaks. Air mattresses and a portable toilet. We keep it in the tent at night. No issues, no...

Nope. Something that is supposed to be even more reliable, a 3 year old furnace in their house. I mentioned it because carbon monoxide is carbon monoxide. Buddy Heaters also produce carbon monoxide. Tents and campers & truck caps are a LOT less square feet, so bad things can happen a lot...

We are still loving our 19' ZR2 diesel. 21k so far. Love the torque, love the lockers. Once you have a truck with lockers, you won't want one without them. It's like a winch. They seem expensive at first but if you ever have to pay for an extraction - even 1x, they will pay for themselves and...

Old thread I know. This is actually a very personable topic, at least for us. We had a close friend die of carbon monoxide poisoning. All 3 fail safe's failed IMHO. Every one of them was working properly according to the fire marshal's investigation though ....figure that one out. So, we have...

I am certainly no expert but have been maintaining lots of batteries over my 59 years. I have almost $1000 worth of battery chargers. Seriously. The ones I use the most and like the most, believe it or not, is the HF Viking 4 amp charger maintainer. It is the only one that charges my batteries...

I did prick the casings. All of them. My recipes are just like all my others, no recipe, just use what I like. For the breakfast sausage I bought a big bag of sweet onions, cooked them down and carmelized them, put to the side. I bought 2 packets, enough for 5 lbs each, of Backwoods maple...
