    Third generation solar panels

    I run a solar panel from Cabellas to run 2 12 volt light bulbs in my shed. It works very well and now that I got a good panel I never have to worry. I have a similar set up I will use in AZ in 2 weeks for my yearly trip. All it will have to power is an electric blanket and the dash cam in the...

    Lithium Jump Packs

    Some of the greatest discoveries came from an idiot having his beer held for him. Maybe you had $10,000 scotch.

    Lithium Jump Packs

    I think you would kill it rather quickly. The system needs electricity and it would be inadequate I would think.

    Lithium Jump Packs

    So, the general consensus is that the Anti gravity is the way to go, right?

    **Tepui RTTs and Accessories**

    I think that if Tepui had 10 OD tents made and had the IT guy note it on the site that it was a trial run with limited availability that they would sell them just fine.

    Zodi instant shower

    I bought one off of Ebay and when I got it, it was damaged. The burner would barely stay lit. I contacted the seller and he made it good and Zodi Sent me a new shower which works correctly. I filled a bucket from the cold water tap and ran the shower out of it. The water was warm. I like it...

    Using a camp shower - rules/regulations for water usage or disposal?

    I have never heard of anyone having anyone question them about bathing in the boonies or dishwashing. I plan on standing, butt naked next to the truck with the Zodi shower washing my blindingly white carcass and let the water run on the ground for the desert critters to enjoy.

    Very good ideas.

    Shower floor in the field?

    What do you all use for the thing you stand on when you use your portable shower in the middle of nowhere? No one wants to shower while standing in the mud you would produce or stand barefoot in cactus spines.

    Best toilet for frequent dumping?

    I agree. I do not buy the BS the "greenies" try to spew about how bad we are. Our crap is cleaner than most animals who don't get disease prevention like humans do.

    Mineshaft air monitors

    Most of the mines I get into are in AZ. Off hand I can only think of one mine in ID I can get into. This one is a fluorite mine. The view is spectacular but taking pics is close to impossible.

    Mineshaft air monitors

    MT, ID, and AZ. I never go in water. Water hides stuff really well like 1,000 foot deep shafts. Plus, like you said, water makes gas and stink. I have no sense of smell (right now) so I need to avoid water.

    Mineshaft air monitors

    So far I have never been to one where there was not clear evidence that there was little gas danger. I think that at this point in time I will just have to stay more towards the open end or pass up any that are questionable. As for pics, this little ************ almost got me in the face underground...

    Tepui Tent RTT

    I diud about 100 miles today with the tent on top. 35E in the Twin Cities sucked with that thing up there. Those evenly spaced lines caused an even small bounce which shook the hell out of me.

    Third generation solar panels

    I think your specific application will make a difference in what learned people can provide for an answer. I myself use a 10 watt by Coleman to charge and maintain a deep cycle which runs the lights in my rock/trapping shed. So far so good. I bought another one to take with on my adventures to...

    Mineshaft air monitors

    I am not sure where to put this, so if one of the mods knows of a better area for it, please move it there. Does anyone use an air monitor when you explore caves or mines? If so, what device do you use? So far I do not use anything except experience and instinct. I would like to extend my...

    Post your camping / gear lists!

    Here is mine. This is typical of my lists. This one was for AZ. It was used to show where stuff was to be packed. It is not written in stone, but if something was moved, it was amended on the list. #5 GALLON WATER CONTAINER or COOLER WITH BOTTLED WATER #ALLERGY PILLS, HEADACHE PILLS, DIAREHA...
