Lots of commercial fisherman, as well as the Earthroamer class of overland vehicle use diesel stoves for cooking. The new diesel ceramic stoves are as clean as any other stove. The advantage with diesel is one and only one fuel on board for cooking, heating, and transport.

Propane concerns seem to be twofold, extreme cold (which affects the propane's ability to boil and flow), and extreme altitude, which could be considered over 10,000 or 11,000 feet. Considering that many of the folks who overland likely don't do so in the kind of cold weather that makes...

Hard time doing up bacon, eggs, and pancakes ... AND keep the coffee going for hungry mouths with those! I make a distinction between hiking gear, and overland gear ... and IMO those are geared for hiking, a bit too small and kind of flimsy.

Can't go wrong with a Coleman, but if I was recommending stoves that I had personal experience with, I'd only recommend a Partner. Partner (IMO) is in a different league than anything else out there. It's been posted a bunch of times here, but the Partner line-up of products originated with the...

It is if you're a supporting sponsor of the Expedition Portal forum, which Mainline Overland is. It's actually his (and other sponsors) generous sponsorship of the forum that makes your free access to the forum possible!

Same question as above regarding shipping cost to Canada?

Besides parking structures, I find that living in places like the Pacific Northwest, where rain is a constant from about October to mid-March, the moisture always finds a way in past the zipper on the cover, and the Velcro covering over said zipper. And if that rain happens to last a week or...

Is this U.S. only, or is shipping up to Canada possible?

I'm not seeing anybody question you or disagree with you? I think it's pretty clear, reading this thread, that folks understand padlocks are part of the "official" bear proof moniker for a Yeti coolers.

Definitely don't download at maximum zoom for 95% of the maps you put into memory. For off-road topo and road maps, you don't get much extra for maximum zoom, and often you get nothing at all (perhaps most importantly, you avoid the two day long download times!). I never go beyond 15, and I...

I wouldn't call that "a lot" of modifications. It's really just the typical fit-up associated when two dissimilar brands are brought together for the first time. It's rare that such a combination of two distinct manufacturers results in a flawless set-up right off the bat. One usually has to...

Yes, I see what you're saying, as with any company experiencing growth, they did bring in some extra cash for expansion ... but the Seiders brothers are still with the company, still have ownership shares, and would certainly not be involved in the manufacturing a rip-off cooler while touting...

Looks like Yeti filed suit on RTIC Coolers just a couple of days ago. https://dockets.justia.com/docket/texas/txwdce/1:2015cv00597/762663

Yeti was founded, and is still owned by Roy and Ryan Seiders ... so that would make the "allegedly" false.

The propane hose that came with my 22" Partner stove isn't a "normal" propane hose. It has a small spring loaded pin in the end of the hose that attaches to the stove, a pin that has to be depressed in order for the gas to flow. Normally, screwing the hose to the stove depresses the pin. If I...

I carry the Moka Pot and a stainless steel double wall french press. Supply source is a Partner kettle. All stainless/aluminium, easy to clean, indestructible, and both make a cup of coffee that rates as "the best" IMO.

The Goal Zero Light A Life .v2 lamps are out now. They're brighter, smaller, and apparently have a longer bulb life than the .v1 lights ... with a price that's the same as the original. I've got three of the originals, and while they're excellent ... they're also big, and take up quite a lot of...

I use the 12V portable Fantastic Fan in my CVT, with a Yeti 400. You can't leave it running constantly, and you have to keep it on the lowest setting when it is running, but I get lots of run-time with it. But even on the lowest setting, it remains the best camping fan on the market. It blows...

Having emailed them and asked that exact question, it was explained to me that the "out of stock" simply means there aren't any sitting on the shelf ready to send out. I was told to order one despite the "out of stock" message, and that one would be sewn up and on its way to me within a week or...

Just received one of the latest batch of 22" bags for my Partner. Great quality, and super-fast delivery. Couldn't be more pleased with Blue Ridge service.
