Very nice. I'm inspired to build one now. Great project for the winter. Frank

I tend to eat granola/oatmeal/fruit and coffee in the morning, sandwiches for lunch, and a big "one pot" meal like pork vindaloo in the evening. Depending on the day, I might miss lunch once in a while if I'm busy hiking or exploring. But I try HARD to get bfast and dinner at a minimum. I...

Got back from SE Utah late last night. Saw Monument Valley, LOTS of wall art and ruins, including the Wolfman panel, Big Bob, The Hobbs wash ruin, Snake in mouth, the Doll house, and more. Seventeen hundred miles, lots of camping, lots of great times. Lots of sunburn, too. Pics later. Frank

If you buy a Shurflo or Flojet, get one with a pressure switch. It allows you to use it later as a sink pump. I've had one for ten years and transferred it to four campers. If you get one without a pressure switch, it will still work as a sink pump, but it's more cumbersome. Frank.

Looks like a big project to me. I think you can do better. Frank

The statement I was responding to indicated that Jackson Hole was hardcore. I disagree. But I don't disagree that there are a few in the hole that are hardcore. Mostly, though it's a tourist town, full of the very wealthy and the balance of people trying to eke out a living. No offense meant to...

Only if you're a tourist.

Not entirely. It's assembled out of USA and imported parts. Still, they're beautiful boxes, and worth the money. I wish they sold a larger one, that's all.

Nice camp kitchens- where are they made?

Just finished reading the thread. Thanks for the info; I'm going to do some more searching. This might work. Gasman, thanks for being willing to check it out for me. Frank

No, it's a Dometic RC4000. Looks like the A40 only cools to 20 degree below ambient, though. That wouldn't work. The Dometic is too small. Frank

Yup, I searched. Seems like I remember a propane fired chest fridge a few years ago. I've found one, but it's pretty small; I'd like one in the 50-60 quart range. Ring a bell to anyone? I haven't ruled out a 12V unit with the Danfoss compressor, but with the furnace, my CPAP machine and lights...

X2. Really nice, but I doubt it'd suffice for me. I'd need more room. Wonder where it's made- China?

Garmin Rino. It has a GPS and a radio. very handy when hunting with a group. Frank

I've been using the bottom half of a twenty gallon solvent barrel for years. I got it red hot several times to ensure that all the solvent (alcohol, in this case) was out of the bottom creases, and threw it in the rig. I use an inexpensive Coughan's grate over the top.

I carry a S&W 629 with a 5" barrel. I can shoot 44 specials out of it, or just about any other 44 mag ammo. It isn't little, but it's effective. I prefer a revolver for a carry gun, but I'm partial to good quality 1911's. I'd have a hard time having just one.

Buy it, strip the engine and axles, and take the rest to the boneyard where it belongs. What a pile. A cool pile, but a pile nonetheless.

Coleman made (might still) dual fuel stoves and lanterns that were designed to work well on pump gas. But white gas is more highly refined, and lacks some of the additives pump gas has. But if I was in a bind, I wouldn't hesitate to use pump gas.

You're very welcome friend. Have fun with cast iron, and try not to spend too much :)

Not to hijack your thread, but LeCreuset makes cast iron enameled pans that work great, don't need seasoned, and can be used to cook acidic food. I just bought a 2 quart saucepan with lid for nine bucks at Salvation Army. Lodge is the brand, unless you can find vintage cast iron in second hand...
