You guys are going to spend all my money. I was perfectly happy with my cheap, off brand roto-molded cooler, but now I'm wondering if there is a small 12v fridge in my jeep's future to add to the Engel fridge already in my trailer. Right now I'm looking at compact 12v fridges in the 18-25...

Initial Review: Riley Stove Company "Compact All Metal Fold-Up Table" Specifications: Size stored: 15 x 23 x 4" Size deployed: 30 x 23 x 27" H (comparison - standard card table is 30x30x26h) Weight: 18# MSRP: $175 Source: Orville Riley Riley Stove Company P.O. Box 817 Townsend MT...

I figured out which leg was rattling when my Reliance unit was folded up and stuck a small scrap piece shop towel there to prevent hard plastic to hard plastic contact at that spot. Problem solved.

I called Riley Stove Company and spoke with Orv. What a nice guy. He asked how I had heard of him. I replied that I had posted in an internet discussion about camp tables years ago and had recently received an email that there had been recent activity. That lead me to the post about his...

I think I have used every type of tent imaginable over 60+ years of camping and now use these three: Kodiak Canvas 6x8.5 Flexbow VX Kodiak Canvas "Swag" tent ALPS Mountaineering 2-person Lynx tent (nylon) There is nothing like a canvas tent, but it does take longer to set up than the typical...

I like the looks of that table. How stable are the legs? Do they have braces? I can't tell from the product photos.

Update, 5/12/20: I used the siphon for several trips but eventually decided that even simpler was better so I added an air vent and brass spigot for a recent month-long overlanding trip (pre-Coronavirus): Link...

Yes, please post photos. Note: The siphons pictured above also do not require modifications to the Rotopax container.

I purchased my Front Runner Expander chairs and storage bags from http://www.sierraexpeditions.com. The items were drop shipped from Front Runner, but unlike purchasing direct from Front Runner the shipping was free from Sierra Expeditions and at the time there was no sales tax...

I don't pretend to know the "best" mid-priced kinetic rope, but I offer for your consideration the product line from Tactical Recovery Equipment [TRE] in Nevada. https://tacticalrecoveryequipment.com/ I currently own TRE synthetic winch line with their Safety Thimble II (designed by Blaine...

Since you are not equipped to do all of the necessary metal work yourself, perhaps you should skip this trailer and look for a better candidate. The money you save buying a cheap trailer in poor condition will be spent ten times over trying to make it right.

Are you sure that is a Canadian M100? Is the date plate still intact? There are some features missing from the photo of your trailer which make it difficult to distinguish between an American M100 and Canadian M100. The tailgate is not original. The grab handles found on the M100's are...

Ditto on pulling the tub to get at the frame and suspension. Do replace springs, spring hangars, bushings, shocks, seals, bearings, etc. Don't be too quick to plan your build around wheels and tires matching your tow rig. BTDT. You will change tow rigs some day and the lug pattern may...

This is not only old news, it is old fake news. I am from the area where the controversy originated. I am familiar with the individuals involved and with the situation. The first story linked in this thread is almost total B.S. as it relates to the situation in Shingletown CA. The second...

I like to keep recovery gears such as kinetic ropes, straps, shackles (soft and hard), etc. in a bag close at hand so that I or a passenger can grab it and go. A box may tough to get to in a recovery situation. I primarily use bags from Blue Ridge Overland Gear. Here's one set up ready to be...

To @LosAngeles: The Viair 400P-Automatic portable compressor you are considering is a good unit. If you don't really need the "automatic" feature (and trust me you really don't), you can save quite a bit of money by purchasing the 400P instead. (Currently $158 on Amazon Prime.) It has...

Three ideas come to mind: Wavian https://wavianusa.com/pages/nato-diesel-jerry-can Rotopax https://rotopax.com/2-gallon-diesel.html Scepter...

I have both Wolf Pack and Cub Pack boxes. I purchased the Wolf Packs first, half with the regular lids and half with the tall lids. I like them much better than the Action Packers, Plano boxes and milk crates they replaced. I purchased several sets of metal latches to replace the plastic...

I have a Kenwood TM-281A 2 meter in my jeep. There is almost no 70cm traffic in my area so I haven't missed it, however other regions are different.

My camp kitchen fits into a Front Runner Cub Pack except for the stove, which came in its own small plastic box. I had not thought of using square plates to avoid wasted space, although I'm sure I have every nook and cranny packed with something. The UCO flatpack grill appears well made...
