for a weekend warrior, just use a cooler.. I did for decades and was completely content.. it was not til we started going on multi-week adventures and had issues with loosing food (customs opening everything up and not closing it correctly) or finding ICE (out in BFE, it can be time consuming...

If your really interested in comms when SHTF, HAM General License.. HF can get you across oceans and continents, and requires practically zero infrastructure to be operational if you got a battery and a solar panel. Also since you posted this in Search and Rescue, if thats something you may be...

There's a guy on ebay who will custom tune you a GMRS J-Pole ladder, I bought one from him long ago and it worked great for my inital repeater testing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/GMRS-HAM-UHF-5dB-gain-Repeater-Base-Antenna/112813555663

Your a gasser? Oh so the thing is Diesel Engines dont produce very much waste heat at all.. so much that w/out emissions gear you can idle a diesel engine all day long and it'll never reach operating temps.. so this is why Diesel powered rigs will go through the trouble of adding a coolant...

I'm planning something like this for my Diesel Westfallia project.. the advantage I have over you is I'm converting from air cooled to water cooled, so I'll be adding heater core w/blower.. I'll be using a marine one like this, uses less than an Amp of power...

its an aluminum triangle tongue, eh.. good luck extending that.. IMO lock and rolls are over-rated. I'm pretty sure they make jeep hubs for trailers.. go take it out as it is on some trails tho IMO, none of the things you are considering is going to make it dramatically better offroad, just...

thats normal.. its soldered on and cut like that so you can heat the core w/an iron. here is same connector w/out coax attached:

yeah I thought the same, refilling 1# just results in leaky LP cans and rusty threads, disposables wont last long.. if ur lucky you can reuse a can once before its garbage and valve sticks and leaks unless you attach a burner valve or something that seals it off correctly, or you can pay like...

https://imgur.com/ > Photobucket but for longevity purposes, it'd be best for you to mass re-size your images down to ~1080p resolution and attach em to your posts.. who knows if/when your image links will break if you put em on a 3rd party site.

Photobucket's a ******** like that, the photos show up for me because I have this chrome plugin installed, its pretty much required to look at any old threads from before photobucket decided sharing photos was not its thing...

USB-C PD can go up to 5A, but its not limited to just 5V like old USB.. it can go up to 20V, so 20V x 5A = 100W of power vs 5V X 2.4A = 12W topping out old USB.. with the same 2.4A cabling your old USB uses USB-C can get 48W, which is more than enough for any phones/tablets, its really only...

My wife just got a new dell work laptop, the sucker's oem charger is over-spec 240W through dual USB-C's... yesh, thats a hungry SOB, makes my MBP look tiny.. hope it runs fine off a single 100W even if at a slower speed.

Germans know how to put paint on, I'm not wrapped and this came right off: at some point you just gotta get your first ding and get the ******** over it.. mine was my son riding his bike handle right into that door in YNP.. I can still spot it in the photo or from across a parking lot, nobody...

Partner Stoves I see hardwired into alot of setups, I was gonna go that way when I re-do my kitchen slide out because the RV Burners I got now are very low BTU since they are intended for indoor use.. the'll also custom make you any length hose you want, I assume with whatever hookup fitting you...

I go skinny here in Colorado now, it does seem to necessitate deflating more than my last wide AT's I had but in the winter I've found its much harder to get stuck with the narrower tires, my light Jeep with fat all terrains could get its self stuck alot easier than my heavy SUV w/skinny all...

Running Solar panels in a series for higher voltage also results in less cabling losses on long runs.. it can make a huge difference for portable panels on the end of a 50-100ft pair of wires, as long as you put the MPPT charger close to the batteries. It also will reach a charge voltage...

Yeah the companion Honda model I bought can output full 30A if I pair it up w/another Honda, if I needed more output I could find a regular Honda genset to pair it with used alot easier.. and since I wanted to run AirCon off it I figured over-rating the plug would be better than under-rating...

All metals make a good groundplane, dont matter if its aluminum or not, just needs to be conductive... all your passengers will be fine. What are your range expectations? Ive got a big giant whip on mine but its also hooked to a HAM radio, for only GMRS one of the nice things about it is a...

Sometime in the mid 80's my dad took me out in his lifted Bronco, and got us stuck in a mud bog in the middle of a farmers field.. we slogged out of the field, back onto the road and a few miles to a service station to call a tow truck.. Tow Truck finally arrives, yanks us out buried up to our...

EGR Cooler was corroding and engine is ingesting aluminum? wth.. that sounds like some chinesium got into the supply chain... I had a 2.0L CR TDI, was a fantastic engine.. shame that one had such issues, but ******** happens.. not that widespread as it was only Diesel Transporters, chalk this up...
