    Portable Charcoal Grills

    I'm so juvenile, I know. Every time I see a big pot of beans over a fire, I think of the fellas farting around the campfire in "Blazing Saddles". "How bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?"

    INEOS Grenadier

    I am totally impressed with the development of this vehicle. Never thought I'd jump from my Land Cruisers, but it's looking likely.

    Gentrification of the Land Cruiser

    Tell me about the tank. It's probably my biggest complaint abut the 200.

    Any Suzuki Sierra owners on here?

    Do we know each other? From a few years ago; we don't really tow it much anymore, mainly because we don't use the camper much anymore. I agree. The Zuk just works for me too. Nimble, simple, cheap, honest, and exceedingly capable. I have another one with a rusted soft body, and a perfect...

    Any Suzuki Sierra owners on here?

    Man, that's a beauty. The body on mine is in great shape, but the blue paint is pretty thin; it needs a repaint. Trouble is, I'm really not fond of the blue.

    Any Suzuki Sierra owners on here?

    Not sure what year Zuk they are from. I bought them from a fella in Japan years ago, back when there was an eBay in Japan. Probably 500 bucks when all said and done, with shipping. But, it's the ultimate solution, and my daughter is a lot bigger than when we first got the Zuk. Mounts right to...

    Any Suzuki Sierra owners on here?

    All, I recently fitted a OEM split rear seat to my '95 Suzuki Samurai. Great seat; taller back, and also has headrests. But I'm a bit befuddled with how the retractable seat belts with shoulder belt mount. Can anybody shoot me some pictures of how the seatbelt are fitted in their vehicles? I...

    Sewing Thread....A discussion on making your own adventure textile gear.

    Love this thread. Like many, I've been wanting to learn how to sew heavy duty stuff for years. The last straw was this year, when I went put our little Whaler in service this spring, and looked with horror at my expensive canvas top that was brand-new last year: a mouse had apparently gotten up...

    I have one, but I've never used it. I figure I'll treat it just like cast iron, with lots of butter.

    I've been screwed over by Campsaver enough times to say, never again.

    Custom Built Suzuki Samurai

    At $25K, you're gonna be seeing that ad for a looooong time. The only thing crazier than the ask is the fact that the owner said he has $38k in it!

    Which Fire Extinguisher?

    I think I've written about them here before, but I am a huge Cold-Fire fan, for a lot of reasons. First, the mixture is plant-based, and gentle. You could spray it on a person, and not chemically burn their skin; that's huge in my book. Second, you can buy the concentrate, and refill your own...

    Love that G-works regulator. What size LP bottle is that? Get a lot of hours out of it? That windscreen is some nice work; the precision is excellent. Well done!

    Love those knives. Carl does some nice work.

    Snow Peak Addiction

    I love/hate mine. It beats burning the lips, but it's not a vacuum between the two walls, so it doesn't stay hot for very long. The cover helps, though. What kind of sewing machine is that? I just bought a Sailrite Ultrafeed to start modifying some of my own gear...

    Man, that's nice!! Out of curiosity, what's the diameter of the bottom inner screen? With the tapered sides, maybe that's the 22 cm screen that I still see for sale. As usual, a tip of the hat to you...

    I've thought about that for years. Been meaning to take onto the local canvas shop have them make something up...

    Maybe this will help sway the love for the big pot; it really is a clever design: As an aside, I think the lid tongs SP makes for their Micro cast iron pots will also fit on the tabs of the pan, although you gotta spread them pretty far apart. I tried it once. I love the Micros too, especially...

    Nah, I pretty sure they made a 22, although I don't know why I say that. The only remnant of that pot is that you can still buy the 22 cm bottom screen for it once in awhile. Would love to see the 24...

    Well, there is a unicorn out there, somewhere. SP also once made a dutch oven in 22 cm size. I have never seen one. But I've been looking for one for about 6 years now... Maybe I can talk one of the long-time SP owners to part with theirs??
