If you're planning on a new vehicle anyway, and you are planning to have a trailer, why limit yourself with a van? Vans aren't generally designed for towing, and the gearing will be the biggest issue (if you're stuck on a van try to get 4.11 gears or something close to that). If I was in your...

Perfect! Thanks. I spent way too much time poring through pages of Coleman’s military surplus online catalog and found nothing that would fit. Looks like that medic bag is still available on eBay. Might have to get one and then sew Velcro under the flap. (I’m not sure about leather & buckles...

I just received a pair of the Duluth "Alaska Hard Gear" Stone Run Pants (slim fit) yesterday. My initial impression is that they are just about perfect for a mid-weight all around outdoor pant. If you're looking for something less baggy than the typical "relaxed fit" cargo pants but don't...

My Montana 700i arrived on Friday (its now Sunday morning). Here are my initial impressions coming from a 10-year old Delorme Inreach SE: What a pain in the butt to set up. It is not very intuitive and took about 45 minutes tinkering with various apps and utilities. Honestly I'm not even...

Thanks again for the detailed comments. It prompted me to do a deep dive on both of these pants and subsequently realize I already have 4 or 5 pairs of each of these pants. But with the Kuhl logo on them! haha. They are literally identical to the Kuhl Ryder (Lithos) and Kuhl Renegade (Aeros)...

I've got a pair and they aren't as tight on me as they are on the model. But I'm a "slim" build at 5' 10" and 160 lbs. I don't have huge thighs, so they work well for me. My biggest gripe is the fabric - the 96% nylon/4% spandex means they shed water well and have lots of flex and are quiet...

Just pulled the trigger on the 700i. I'm a bit nervous about the low backlighting issue mentioned a few times (I will be using this a lot in the vehicle and frequently wear polarized sunglasses).

Curious - which has a slimmer fit the Lithos or the Aeros? I find that with my Kuhl pants I'm tired of the baggy/boxy look and looking for something more tapered. I'm getting ready to buy my first pair of Fjallraven pants...I'm trying to decide between the Sörmland "hunting" pants and the...

If I had an unlimited budget, I think the Mini + Overlander would probably be a great combo. Throw in a Fenix watch and I'd be all set. I guess I need to get a hot girlfriend that runs around in a bikini, some skinny jeans, and a YouTube overlanding channel so I can get that stuff for free...

An interesting way to optimize but there's no way I'd trust anything with mechanical slides or pop-ups on an off-road trailer. I rattle and bang the bejeezus out of mine - ANYTHING (and I mean ANYTHING) that can break eventually will. I can just imagine arriving at camp and not being able to...

That's for an insulating blanket (the "welding blanket" I referred to in my OP). Seems like a really good idea to increase usability. But the blanket is as expensive as the oven! lol If I could find one that was sized appropriately I'd use a plastic tote, no worries! Just want something...

Thanks for the tip. My main purpose is to have the InReach capability for off-grid communications. The backup navigation is a bonus in my mind. I've had very few scenarios where my iPhone + Gaia or Onx has let me down, but I do like the idea of an all-in-one unit that does everything so that...

Just got one of these nifty Coleman camp ovens for Christmas and I know this little cardboard box won't last long. I've spent an hour or so searching for either a Plano or Flambeau type case or a zippered bag with handles that is the right size and have not come across anything yet. Has...

Reviving this thread to see if there are any more comments on longer term use. I'm trying to decide between the 66i and the 700i. My 10+ year old Delorme InReach SE finally died on my last trip (rattled to death on washboard roads around Death Valley, I suspect). The handlebar (or in may...

I wear “cowboy” boots all the time but for a camp shoe they don’t meet criteria #1 and 5 in my OP. (At least not for me, and I’m including a pair of custom made Luchese boots that are like glove leather in that assessment) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone tried these? I just saw a promo for them in one of the other forums I frequent... https://www.keenfootwear.com/p/M-HOWSER-III-SLIDE.html Looks like they check a lot of the boxes.... (except for being water resistant, based on reading reviews). I suppose some DWR spray could remedy that.

The primary advantage of the collapsible kettle is obviously how space efficient it is. I don't know about you guys, but my "Cook Box" is always a challenge to repack because space is so tight. Also having a dedicated kettle for boiling water keeps the morning coffee from tasting like last...

Ooh! I like your thinking. That might be a perfectly acceptable short term solution while I save up for what I really want.. four of these welded to the frame: https://www.etrailer.com/Camper-Jacks/Ark/ARK94FR.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with a local welder charging that, given the cost of living around here. It's just more than I am willing to pay to solve this issue. The big challenge with this trailer is that on 35's it sits up very high. I usually camp in uneven terrain...
