    22 BS thread

    Nice! I’ve got a 10/22 takedown stainless that I put into a Magpul Hunter stock and topped with a Vortex 2 MOA reflex site. It comes with me on every camping or hunting trip during rabbit season and has taken a lot of rabbits. I was on a desert Jeep trip last winter and camped one night at a...

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    Remind me of Muck boots ankle boots. Comfy and easy to slip on (not as easy as crocs) but not very breathable for long wearing. Great if you’re camping in mud tho. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Action mobile/BAE expedition truck, not mine on BAT

    Holy crap - I just watched the walk-through. With all the 24v-to-12v-to-120v-to-220v converters, inverters, etc. I'd be in constant fear of either forgetting how things work, or blowing a fuse and not having any idea where the problem was. Seems WAY too complex to accomplish the task. LOTs of...

    How to swap out the thermistor in your Dometic CFX

    I agree, Dometic customer service for these fridges is abysmal through normal channels. Something to consider when buying one of these high dollar items. They are just too big of a global company and don’t seem to be focused on this overlanding market here in the US. I’ve heard Wayco/Dometic...

    How to swap out the thermistor in your Dometic CFX

    I don’t think that applies to these fridges, as they are designed for vehicles. According to the Dometic rep I talked to, they can be turned upside down when off but should not be operated at more than something like a 30° angle. Btw the way I got a hold of someone is literally by...

    How to swap out the thermistor in your Dometic CFX

    Yes, you're right - I should have made that clear. My initial research indicated that the correct part is #4450001983 (aka "22-3B-103F100D") but as you discovered, it is not available in the USA. I actually spoke directly to a Dometic engineer and with the Regional Sales Manager for Dometic...

    Material for bucket toilet & disposal

    +1 on a cassette type toilet. I use a very small Dometic unit that will last me 4 or 5 days before I have to empty it. With the proper additive to the flush water there is very little smell as long as the gaskets seal properly. And it feels more like home, albeit smaller. I also use a squeeze...

    GMRS antenna on smaller vehicles

    I never remove the top - too much dust! :) Also getting the antenna up high clears it from attenuation cause by the body metal and all the passenger cars. I used to have it down lower and would notice a big drop in signal when in traffic (such as passing through LA traffic on the way to the...

    Quick & Dirty water dispensing pump for Scepter MWC

    I used one of those electric ones but I’m trying to reduce my dependence on constantly charging stuff. Manual coffee grinder, manual water pumps, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quick & Dirty water dispensing pump for Scepter MWC

    I got a great deal on some LCI cans not long ago and have really been enjoying them for carting water. The do not impart flavors to the water, even when stored in desert heat for a week or more. The only downside is that they are awkward to handle. So I came up with a prototype dispensing...

    Cell Booster options

    I strongly encourage anyone looking at these kits to also look at the options from Nextivity. I have the Cel-Fi Go M and it blows the doors off the Weboost that a friend of mine has in his vehicle. Granted, my setup cost about 2x what his did ($1300 versus $700) BUT, it has the following...

    GMRS antenna on smaller vehicles

    I'm running a Wouxun KG-1000G with a Midland 6db antenna (5/8 wave, I believe). I made a mount for the antenna at the rear center of my Jeep's roof by extending a steel plate off the Rhino roof rack. I'm also running an RFI CDQ7195 LTE antenna over a folding RFI bull bar mount for signal to...

    Engel MT35F Freezing when on low

    Just make sure you test temps after you replace the thermistor. Thermistors are relatively generic, but can have different levels of sensitivity. The replacement unit I managed to find is actually 7º off. In other words, the Dometic control board displays a temp that is 7º higher than the...

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    I've been wearing Xtratuff boots on boats for years. They are narrow, so if you have wide feet, they are not great. Also, for around camp use, I'd recommend a Muck boot (low) before I'd recommend the Xtratuff (more comfy, easier to get on/off because of the neoprene collar). That being...

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    I think if I can find a pair of crocs without holes, that might be the solution. That being said, these look interesting... https://huckberry.com/store/greys/category/p/64351-the-camp-slipper-boot

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    hmm... closer but a pain to get over your heel (at least the ones I've owned have been). I camp in rocky/dusty areas a lot. Flip flops just don't really do it for me because my feet get filthy

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    Thanks. I have a pair of those same bates boots and actually use them for upland hunting sometimes. They are very light. But I still want to get them off my feet after 15 miles in them at the end of the day. I may end up some some crocs if I can find some without holes (criterion #2). I hate...

    Upland Hunting - General

    On the way to a weekend camping trip here just inland of the CA Central Coast my wife and I must have flushed a thousand dove from the side of the little one lane mountain road on the way to our camp spot. Now the wheels in my head won’t stop turning and I can’t wait for the season to start...

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    All my life I’ve been looking for the ultimate camp shoe. Still haven’t found it. What are your favorites? Let’s limit the choices a bit: Vehicle-based camping Summer and fall conditions Criteria: 1. Easy to slip on when climbing down from the RTT in the middle of the night to take a leak...
