It is a folding Coleman table I picked up years ago at Walmart (or someplace like that). It folds into an 18" x 24" x 2.75" thick (I went out and measured) package and doesn't take up too much space. Opened up the top is 36" x 24". It is a good sized table for cooking on, but it takes up the...

I thought about an inflatable, but decided against it. Would still have to put it on the roof of the Jeep.

Hormel does sell a "reduced sodium" can of corned beef hash (I guess I should have googled it sooner). Says it has 25% less sodium. But it is the full sized can (twice the size of the little cans I bought). I guess I could use just half a can at a time, but once it is opened I would have to...

I agree - it is a lot of salt in those little cans of corned beef hash. I would be more than happy with a lower sodium version (in the small cans). Is there such a thing? Let me know. But thinking about being out in the wilderness & digging into a little plate of hot CBH, a toasted English...

My Mom used to cook corned beef and potatoes - it was one of my favorite meals. When I'm on one of my adventures and cooking, I like to keep it simple. Lots of canned food and prepackaged stuff (like alfredo noodles in those little packets and a can of canned chicken). Definitely not the...

Let's see... per lil' can of corned beef hash: 22 grams of fat, 870mg sodium & 340 calories. Maybe one or two cans max/week for breakfast while overlanding? Sometimes this just hits the spot though, especially when on the road. A lil' can of this, a little side of freeze-dried hash-browns...

From Harbor Freight - aluminum and $79.00: https://www.harborfreight.com/500-lb-capacity-aluminum-cargo-carrier-92655.html?_br_psugg_q=hitch+carrier Their steel ones are even cheaper. I'll concede a slight loss of quality of this HF one over the Pakmule carrier, but at about a $700 difference...

Am I the only one that likes Corned Beef Hash? I'm getting ready for a long (for me... about 3 weeks long) overlanding trip in about two months, and it'll be just me in the vehicle this time. So I'm trying to get smaller sized food (servings for one is what I'm trying to say). I don't want to...

Boys and their toys. I'm not into golf, but I get it. It is a good thing my wife doesn't know what I've paid for some of my Jeep/trailer/camping/gun stuff. And that's why I get paranoid sometimes about my stuff getting stolen. And having to spend the night in a hotel when towing my trailer...

That is sad that even at an event such as Expo East, vendors were burglarized.

I've been very happy with my Coleman two-burner propane stove. I've had it probably 20 years now, and have never had an issue with it. Those green one-pound propane cylinders seem to last a long time (for me anyways) and they're easy to squirrel away (they also work with my propane lantern...

Good point. Don't you hate it when bad guys try to make you the bad guy when you catch them? Then change "If I catch you, I will shoot you" to something not involving firearms. If I catch you... "I'll put a hurting on you"? "I'll kick ****************"? "You'll experience intense pain"? "You will...

Maybe running a large chain through one of your rims (if running slotted or spoked rims) and through/around the trailer's leaf spring or suspension, and a large lock. It would make a thief looking for an easy target move on, but if someone was determined, they sell heavy duty battery operated...

I have both a folding stool and a metal HF folding stool. The metal stool stays in the shop, and the folding plastic stool stays in the trailer. The plastic folding stool is only 2" deep, so it takes up hardly any space in the trailer. I can't remember where I bought the plastic stool, but it...

I think with my intended usage (cooking for 1-2 people) in some ways "less is more".

Please briefly tell us more about the Mercedes diesel engine swap. To include tranny adapter, install, and how it compares to the previous engine (I'm assuming the 4.0) as far as power and drivability, gearing and tire size, etc.. I talked with a company at the Bantam Jeep Festival who do the...

Maybe. I just stuck the shelf in the middle so I'd have maneuver room above it. It might not have burned as bad if I had it in the upper slots. I swear it had probably been decades since I last used this Coleman oven thing, so I was reacquainting myself with it with the blueberry muffins.

They use slipper springs on the Harbor Freight trailer frames (which my trailer is based from). They may be rated for a good bit of weight, but they have no flex, so your trailer (and trailer contents) takes a beating. Switching them out to a longer spring with a shackle really made a...

So what did I learn from all this: This little Gas One stove is more than adequate for cooking anything I might want to cook. I'm not putting 3-gallon pots on the stove to boil; it will pretty much be just me most of the time (and at most one other person). Heating up a can of something...

I thought I'd have time while the oven was preheating to mix up my muffin mix. Like I mentioned, it got to over 500 quickly, so I turned down the heat while mixing up the mix and putting it in the muffin tins. A couple tips for camp cooking (even though I was doing this on my back porch): Use...
