    Camping Totes or Dry Food Storage

    That's for the best. You don't want a photo Biden/Trump staring at your potato chips. That's just weird.

    Wife needs indoor accommodations....what is worth buying?

    https://www.intechrv.com/models/sol/horizon/ The Intech Horizon comes in a "Rover" model. Worth checking out. I'm in a similar situation @ 6'5" ---- most of the beds in these things are for wee people...

    Best Safari style shirt for Expedition and Casual wear

    My advice it to solicit input from the larger-than-life demographic. It's REALLY hard to find shirts that fit. Most will fit around the shoulders/chest and arms but then are enormous at the waist; you have fold/tuck and it looks terrible as it works itself free. I find myself relegated to...

    Two Deep cycle batteries and inverter

    My Renogy 100 watt suitcase can't keep my two batteries up with just a fridge and lights. Go for the 200 watt: https://www.renogy.com/200-watt-eclipse-monocrystalline-solar-suitcase/

    Camping Totes or Dry Food Storage

    I bought the cowbell and awarded it to myself after dangling the Power Wagon off a cliff. Then my wife hid it for about 8 years ---- only found it last week. Luckily @StumpXJ was there and pulled the winchline for me; couldn't take my foot off the brake. Both rear tires off the cliff. (got...

    Looking for Good, Entry Level Knife Sharpening Kit Recommendations

    Dude, enjoy it. Knives are a basic tool. And/or a work of art. There are so many quality knives out there, some with personalities, some completely utilitarian. Some funky, some outrageous, some too pretty to use. But a dull knife is dangerous. And a really nice knife sharpened badly is a...

    Looking for Good, Entry Level Knife Sharpening Kit Recommendations

    I have some fine whetstones and a double-sided strop too. But it's so much more time consuming, makes me concentrate, and the Wicked Edge is more fun to use....

    Looking for Good, Entry Level Knife Sharpening Kit Recommendations

    Every blade will have a unique angle to its secondary bevel. Therefore, the nonadjustable cheapie sharpeners are the Devil to a knife. Devil. I've got a Wicked Edge with a few extra stones. You find your angle and make a perfect edge every time with very little learning curve. Or you can...

    Costway Fridge

    I've got the 44 in the back of my offroad teardrop. It's resting on a 1" dense foam bed and I wrapped it in the same 1" foam ----- in my 86 degree garage, the outside of the fridge was 73-74 degrees without the foam and 84 degrees with the foam.... It's been in there almost a year and still...
