    Let's talk about buckets

    I got a collapsable bucket from REI but returned it as it was plastic and I wanted to replace the stainless one I have. Discovered the stainless one one was better as I can heat water in it on the propane stove. It travels in the Trasheroo when camping so it really does not take up much space...

    Land Rover LR4 Stock Tire Sizes

    I have 18s on my LR3 with steel rims from Lucky8. Good fit and won't break if I come down hard off a shelf.

    Front Locker is it needed?

    I have had a few ex-military vehicles and they all come with selectable lockers front and rear. Sometimes you need them and sometimes you don't. I would rather have them than not, for that time when the path changes. My LR has the ability to engage them when the vehicle feels the need and I...

    Croatia - Military things to see...

    We have relatives in Croatia and they would prefer not to be reminded of the war so when we visit we do not go to sites like this as interesting as they might be to many Americans.

    Gas - Plastic or metal

    Strictly Nato cans, metal, don't leak, don't smell. They travel well and don't burst if dropped. Seems there are various opinions on this subject.

    Wheat straw dishes for overland glamping?

    Actually for fire starters I use sawdust and paraffin in a paper egg carton section. Have also tried the paper from our shredder and paraffin. It's like a big candle, burns about 10 min to start the wood.

    Wheat straw dishes for overland glamping?

    Mostly I use paper plates nested on a metal plate for strength, same for paper bowls, in a metal bowl. Easy clean up and not very expensive. When we could have fires I would toss them in after eating but now I just put them in the Trasharoo (in a plastic garbage bag) and carry them out.

    Hood Mounted Solar!!

    It's only 100 watts? What is that in actual watts that it puts out, there are always losses from sun angle and wire gage and length. Lers see some real life specs.

    Hood Mounted Solar!!

    I already have a black out panel on my LR and I use a foldable panel for solar that can be moved to actually be in the sun while the vehicle is in the shade staying cool. Lots of $$$ to have possibly ineffectively placed solar panel.

    How NOT To Hand Winch

    How could they go wrong with their soon to be widows standing by probably betting on who gets the house.

    Wife doesn’t want to camp with RTT anymore

    I was told that the RRT was originally an African thing and because of the possibility of being face to face with some very hungry animals it became popular. Here it is more for convenience. I had one and now use an OZ tent or just sleep in the Rover if I go out by myself. It won't fit on top...

    New Defender News

    I traded out my mag 19 inch wheels on my 07 D3 for steel 18 inch wheels. At least they won't break and leave me stranded.

    Freeze dried hash browns - who else likes them?

    I kind of thought it might be a bit of a problem to 'cake' them, guess I'm not the only one. thanks

    Freeze dried hash browns - who else likes them?

    Since we haven't left the house in months we are going through the camping food so it does not expire. Although the freeze dried hash browns won't anyway, we decided to have some for breakfast at the house. What is the best way to get them to form a 'cake' rather than be loose when cooked in a pan?

    Out with the Cruiser in with the Rover

    I sold my 1973 Pinzgauer 710M and bought a 2007 LR3 HSE. Love the Rover but still miss the Pinz on occasion.

    Fuel on roof. Fore or aft?

    I have a LR3 and carry my two 10L cans where the spare tire used to be under the vehicle. On the rr I carry my extra water in two 5L Scepter cans. I sometimes do carry extra fuel on the roof in a holder I fabricated, on their sides (it is lockable) to cut wind resistance. They are Nato cans and...

    An Axe - Seriously?

    I have used/carried an ax for decades but found a bow saw (for firewood, dead branches only please) to be more useful and easier of store out of the weather. As I get older (74 now) my aim is not as accurate as it used to be and I am a bit wary of the danger I pose to myself. A saw is more my...

    I do like coffee but SLC is a long way to go from Denver for a cup of Joe. Best of luck with your gathering.

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I think your idea is very well done. I made one that attaches to my roof rack from flags that were used to advertise an apartment complex that were being discarded. Bright orange, but for the price they work great. Your tarp is a good idea and considering what you have invested it makes sense to...

    New Defender News

    I was parked next to a new Defender yesterday with my 07 LR3. I spoke to the other owner and we were comparing the two. I thought the D was a bit small and did not have enough interior space, it was confirmed (without malice on either party) by the other owner as they also had an 08 LR3 at their...
