Don't know about HM, but I can verify what bilum said. Tepui Quality is great, and service is exceptional. I had a problem with my ladder, sent them an e-mail, and it was fixed immediately. I've also e-mailed them a few times with questions and always had quick responses. Even though I...

Here's a couple of pics to give you an idea. A short section of 4mm tubing is pushed into the nozzle and held in place with shrink tube. The connector is there just to give the shrink tube more surface area to hold onto. The tubing held even without shrink tube, but at 100psi I didn't want to...

Just wondering, but did your fridge come with two metal basket liners? That's typically how I load my fridge, I just bring the baskets in and load them up and carry the whole thing out. Or I load directly from shopping a few days ahead of time. You definitely don't want to try carrying a...

Sorry didn't see this question earlier. I used 4mm air line which happened to be a perfect fit for the existing nozzle, it's just push fit. The fire extinguisher hose unscrews with a threaded fitting but I wanted to keep the hose on there and use something non-permanent and easy to remove...

Here's another alternative that one of my coworker has in their cubicle, and as a bonus it's 12V. https://www.amazon.com/CoolMate-HC-CMC-500C-Personal-Misting-Fan/dp/B00KXJEY46 It's smaller and uses a piezo type atomizer which creates a really fine mist, but the fan needs to be inches from...

Everything discussed on this forum is a want, not a need. It's just that some people arbitrarily draw a line and decide that everything they have is a necessity, and anything they don't have is a luxury. One can make the argument that you don't really need a cooler either, backpackers have...

If you want a fridge, just buy it. It's one of those things that you won't fully appreciate what it's like until you use it. I bought a fridge a year or two ago and have never regretted it, actually the only regret was not getting one sooner. Yeah, it's expensive, but it was cheaper than the...

Thanks for the link. I looked into smaller nozzles, but the problem is the orifice diameter is dependent on pressure. Low pressure household system (<100psi) are limited in how small an orifice you can use, generally around .012-.020 range. If you go too small or the pressure drops, the water...

What is the intended use? For inside a tent or driving? If they're claiming 10 degree drop in temperature, that's best case scenario if you're in Death Valley in the middle of summer. You may only see a couple degree drop at best in actual use, and that's only if you're standing directly in...

I've never ridden one of those things, but I do see a lot of them around Can someone explain what are advantages of a SxS compared to something like a small suzuki or jeep? It seems they are very similar in size and comparable in price, if not more expensive, so why would one choose one of...

It can be a hassle at times, but it's still awesome. A lot of depends on the type of camping you do, the type of terrain you go on, what kind of tent you get, your vehicle, and a million other things. So what might be a complete waste of money for one person can be the ideal setup for...

My Tepui does the same thing. I don't know they use in between the aluminum frame but whatever it is doesn't support much of a load in between the supports. I added some interlocking foam pads on mine, not strictly for comfort but the noise of the sheet metal flexing when moving around was...

If you do any camping in warmer weather get a tent with the ventilation panels on the roof. A lot of the soft-shell tents have that feature available, i don't know about the hard shells. I just spent 4 days in Death Valley and those sky panels are probably the best feature on the tent. I...

I have a soft shell (fold out) tent and haven't tried a hard shell (flat) so I can only comment on the advantages and disadvantages of those. For the fold out style PROS 1. takes half as much roof space so you have room for additional roof racks. I mount a small rack in front of the tent...

My favorite way is to go buy an underhood fuse box/relay box from a junkyard car. Already pre-wired and labeled, and if you keep to the same brand as your vehicle it looks factory. I think the easiest one I hooked up was from a mid 90's jeep cherokee. One ground wire and one 8 gauge wire...

A good multi level LED headlamp should be the first thing on your list. Everything else is a luxury. Some people like lanterns, some don't, it's just preference. Personally, I like them if you're in an isolated group with no one else around. Maybe it's just nostalgia but sometimes I like the...

Yup, those are the ones. I probably have a couple of packs in my pantry. As I mentioned, they aren't that fast with the butane canister, but maybe propane would work better. They're great if you're in an RV or someplace protected, but outdoors I still use my 2 burner propane stove.

x2 on the asian grocery stores. Sold in packs of 4 for $5. Stove is normally around $20, but I've never seen the propane adapter for them. They're normally used as a table top warmer for hot pot style meals. I've used them camping, but any type of breeze will make cooking difficult, you...

This is how I do it if I need to mount it by myself on my land cruiser. I have a pictures of it somewhere, but it's pretty self explanatory. Snatch block, small harbor freight 2000lb winch anchored the reciever hitch of another car, and a big tree. I'm lucky enough to have a tree in the...

RE: stuck batteries. I just fixed a Mag light for a coworker with the same problem. The trick is to get a heat gun and heat the outside barrel where the stuck battery is. Just get it hot enough to get the aluminum to expand, then you can tap the battery out with a firm whack. You can get...
