    your gear changes over time - obsession maybe ?

    First of all with my Jeep TJ which I bought new, it took me 10 years to get it where I wanted it there isn't much left stock on it (besides the I6). Which included three years ago when added an 1100# box trailer specifically built for the Jeep with a Tepui RTT on top of the trailer. My wife and...

    Starcraft Comet Extreme Review

    First, that looks like a comfortable setup! I've heard a lot of positive comments from owners of A-frames. I as well had to google the water tank falling out! One guy's comment was maybe we should all go back to driving cars and staying in cabins? :) I also have the XO Jockey Wheel. It's way...

    Post pictures of your Roof Top Tent's Interiors

    My inside setup: 1) First of all, I bought a thin blanket that I wrap around the RTT's supplied pad just to help keep it clean. I then originally put a 1-1/2" gel topper inside a small double-sized sleeping bag (to keep the topper clean). Very comfortable, however it was too thick to leave...

    Anyone have a Sheep Camp / Range Camp?

    I walked through one at a show one time. Lots of room. Would be great to park on your own property for one, and use anytime of the year.

    Introduction and our Northstar 650SC

    The camper looks great, and I can totally see that setup over a travel trailer living in the western states with all of the secluded places that you can go. Plus, awesome pictures! I would use that all the time. :)

    Experience of Sleeping in a RTT?

    Best night's sleep ever and it puts a smile on my face. It's like sleeping in a tree house with great air flow. I have added extra padding besides the pad in my Tepui. Much faster to open up and close vs. a ground tent. Plus, with my last ground tent, I had gone to cots, which I've also...

    Post your Camp Awnings

    ^3 ft. is probably minimum. I probably have that to 4', but then it depends on where the sun is. As in my first picture above, we had morning sun going on so the other side of the ladder was in the shade with plenty of room for two chairs. A chair goes on each side of the ladder if it's raining...

    Post your Camp Awnings

    Here is a tarp I found that is made by Grand Trunk that rolls up into a small bag. It happens to fit to my Tepui Ayer RTT. It just came with tie down ropes, which I had two poles that are too long for the ropes, but it works as-is and even in wind with just one rope to each pole it holds up. I...

    New Stove from Jetboil

    I did some camping in Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky, and I put the JetBoil to good use. Wow! The ability to simmer foods is awesome! I make my traditional fried pizzas and with the old Coleman, I'd tended to burn the crust, but not this time! I make the pizzas like a pancake, where I cook...

    New Stove from Jetboil

    I checked the pot in mine and I didn't see any dents on the bottom. The inside has a couple of scuffs, so I put in a couple of paper towels to sit between the pot and the grill, but I'm not worried about it. I will use the frying pan most the time, as my wife and I don't cook large meals while...

    Abandoned/derelict sites

    Thanks for the link. To me, if the NPS is going to stop letting people from using/leasing them, then they should remove the buildings. What blight that is.

    Need Canon T2i Tips and Tricks?

    ^It may be blasphemy, but I disagree with telling someone new to shoot in raw as I don't think he'll have to post edit pictures from his T2i to get them to look good. Frankly raw images are huge and time consuming to deal with, especially if he takes a lot of pictures. OP, I have experience...

    Overland Expo West Photoshoot

    ^Beautiful pictures! I tell you I'm jealous of you guys that live out west. I have a similar setup and I would camp all the time out there... I'm looking forward to your pictures btw.

    Tools for Adventure - a new outdoor gear store in the Pacific Northwest

    As said, nice clean site! I like sites that have unique stuff that is hard to find over the gazillion imported products that Amazon and big box retailers sell. I noticed that the grill that you list is actually made in Idaho. I love USA made products and I will pay for it. If your market is...

    New Stove from Jetboil

    Dan, they do not separate. There is one hook up for the propane that feeds both burners, and the two burners are connected by a hinge (with a pipe in one of the hinges that runs from one to the other for the propane).

    New Stove from Jetboil

    Yes, any pots can be used. The supplied JetBoil pot I used for boiling water is made that it fits over/around the grates so it won't slide off. The supplied frying pan just sits on top of the grates like any pan would. With my Coleman Fold N Go I used several cast-iron pans.
