The time has come to upgrade from our $40 "World Famous" tent. I've been searching/reading here and on other forums for a while and can't find the tent we want. Requirments; ~ 9'X7' seems to be big enough for the two of us plus pooch and some gear, but still small enough we can usually find...

I looked at the Toyo M-55's today. They look like a good compromise between road and trail. (The application would be my 100, the 40 gets TSL Swampers.) Any thoughts? Why yes, yes this is a cross post. :)

I cannot believe I've been cooking for over fourty years and never had one of these before. I wuped up some masaman curry this weekend inabout an hour that tasted like it had been in the crock pot all day. I've seeing a vista of possiabilities opening up in the camping relm. Any advice from...

I like to try new stuff at home, where having a diaster means calling for take out rather than eating charred remains. Always trying to trim down my kit I decided that using a griddle on my BBQ would be a great replacment for a stove. Since I had a griddle my mom gave me, I thought I'd give it...

What would be a good bag to get my wife accostom to a smaller more form fitting sleeping bag? We currently use oversize traditional rectangular bags, lots of chills and drafts. I have a decent quality mummy I use on solo trips but I think she might find one confining since she isn't used to...

I'm a CO2 guy right now. But I'm considering an electric for the new rig. I'm doing a tote sheet to compare. What am I missing? CO2; Plus- Cost, around $100 to get started. Easy installation, just a bracket to mount the tank. Portable, I can take my current set-up from rig to rig. High CFM...

A couple of total nOOb questions. I start my tech test prep class next month and I'm trying to sort out what I need to look for in a radio. 2M seems to be a given, but I'm hearing that a dual band radio is desirable. Question #1- Why is dual Band so desirable. I see a lot of 2M/440Mhz...

Do you cook five course gormet meals in camp? Or are you more the open the bag and pour in the water kind of cook? Both have their merits and proponents. If there is no fixed camp I like to have some stuff that can be fixed in a hurry with little fuss or cleanup for those days when things go...

I have been looking at the Drifta products for a couple of years. Yesterday I e-mailed the owner asking if he had a distributor in the US. The bad news is no he dosen't. The good news is he would support a group buy. I was interested in the Car Back Kitchen but the Drifta 100,200,300 also look...

A couple of years ago we ran into a guy at the Empire gas station, just south of the Black Rock Desert. He and his wife had been camping on and around the Plya for the previous week in a neat home-built tear drop trailer. He was towing it with a SOA FJ40. The trailer was built to tow flat, also...

Just posting to say hi and introduce myself. Locrwln pointed me to htis site and after looking around I think it has a lot to offer. I have already seen one trip I want to take. A little background: I finished up building my FJ40 this fall, it is oriented more toward a trail rig. Lockers...
