    Oil filter storage

    It just occurred to me that I could share my method of spare oil filter storage. It doesn't work for every size, but I've used one pound-ish coffee cans, well cleaned, to keep oil filters dry and dust free for years. It works perfect for Wix 51515 sized (Ford FL1A) filters, and many others.

    Top Reasons Why Your Wife/Girlfriend or Family Do Not Go On Trips with You?

    I've found that doing the work of picking up the supplies and packing the camper is the most effective way to convince a lady to go. If all she has to do is hand you a duffel and get in, she's pretty likely to want to go. Being a good cook and pampering her a bit during the trip doesn't hurt...

    Camping with Firearm-Post Bear Mauling

    Next time you're at the range, take a newspaper and a plastic bag. drape the newspaper around the revolver and take a shot. The bag is for picking up the multitude of pieces..... And practice fire safety- have some water available.

    Camping with Firearm-Post Bear Mauling

    Or any other revolver, for that matter. They all leak flamefrom the cylinder gap. Some more than others.

    Remington 700: Defective Trigger Issue

    I'd rather hunt with an M16 than use it for a battle rifle, since a jammed battle rifle can kill you. A hunting rifle with nothing in the chamber until pointed at the target can't. But I'm old school. The last battle rifle I liked was the M14. And I hunt with it (an M1A) still. :sombrero:

    Added Auxiliary Heater - now there's no heat!?

    Yup, on school buses they install pumps to help coolant flow to the rear seat heaters, otherwise they won't work. Jabsco makes one, sold by Grainger as PN 3PET5, selling for $245.50 list. It has a 3/4" inlet and outlet, so you'd need to adapt it down...

    Remington 700: Defective Trigger Issue

    The trigger group in the 700 is designed poorly, even if it does work well most of the time. The M16 is poorly designed as a battle rifle as well; the cure for both is vigilance in keeping them clean. That said, It's dangerous to chamber a round before you're ready to destroy your target. Seems...

    Water storage for camping, Reliance Aqua-Tainer

    I have two. They're heavy when full, but they seal well and have been pretty durable, especially for the price. I bought a spare cap and tap and screwed a barb fitting into it. I attached a hose to the barb fitting, and a sunshower shower head to the hose-instant shower. I put it on the top of...

    Fuel Bottle ????

    Ditto. I had one of each until I filled the larger one at a gas station (while fueling the truck) and forgot that I put it on top the tire. I paid, and drove over it, but it didn't burst. I'd say they're durable enough. Lesson learned? put the darned fuel bottle away immediately after you fill it.

    Oil Lanterns

    Depends on the size and how bright it's burning. Mine is advertised to burn 16 hours. Most will burn more than long enough to get through a weekend. I use a cardboard tube that just holds its diameter, with a piece of foam in the bottom, and cardboard over the foam, then the lantern goes in...

    Porta-Bote

    Maybe, when I was a kid. Can you post a couple pics? My dad had one that folded up. It was made of wood and some sort of plastic or rubbrized material.

    Oil Lanterns

    For the money you'll spend buying a lantern at Cabela's, you can buy a nice Dietz lamp and have enought left over for fuel. Check this place out: http://www.lanternnet.com/dietz.com.htm No affiliation, but I've bought from them. I'm sitting under a #80 Blizzard cold blast, and it's great. Not...

    If you build a trailer using an old cabinet from work-you might be a redneck. Nice recycling and work.

    belt mounted WWII pick

    Hope not. I watched my uncle poke a hole in the front tire of his Jeep with one years ago. He was stuck and trying to dig out. one slip, and psssssssssss...... He was pretty grumpy on the way back to town. He tried to get my dad to keep his mouth shut. Didn't work.
