Same thoughts here, I wish Garmin did something similar.

SPOT announced a new device, the spotX, that not only does two-way messaging, competing with Garmin InReach, but also has a built-in keyboard. From my brief read, I see the following key pros: Finally does true two-way text messaging. As a built-in keyboard, which is fantastic. Less...

Everyone knows that AC and Propane make you uncool. DC angry pixies and liquid cooking fuels all the way! :)

None of the links for the three models are working.

That's a great price.

You can not use metal in a microwave, nor plastic on a campfire. Maybe Pyrex glass would work?

I think that a bug-proof sub-room would be fine. i.e. I would be very happy with 270º rain and sun coverage, but only a small area that is bug proof.

I need thicker, studier, cookware that I can bang around from white gas stove to campfire and not worry too much about cleaning with whatever is handy. And a teflon pan for eggs and such. :)

I quite like my Lagostina cookset: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/lagostina-camping-cookset-0763585p.html Usually comes on sale for 25% off.

Even with a hard shell, after multiple days of rain with no opportunity to try it out, it slowly gets damp. Use a portable heater to blow out the humidity.

Sure. Really depends on your experiences. I (and my tiny lady), often camp all winter in various shelters. Down to past -25ºC/-13ºF, with nothing special other than a thick foam pad and down comforters. Sure, the initial shock of warm skin against cold bedding is unpleasant, and it would be a...

More down! (And more cuddling.)

I still don't understand the need for heat during sleep.

Not that great when the wheels are spinning at high speed, but the rig isn't moving forward… :elkgrin:

Looks neat, I just ordered one.

That's a very good point! I'd add that I keep very warm sleeping bags in the truck, for each occupant, regardless of whether I expect to be out overnight. They can also mean the difference between life and death in the case of a traumatic injury. A.

I also wonder why I would want a heater running while sleeping. It's lovely to be tucked into a big pile of 950 fill-power goose down, breathing crisp cold air! Even better with the girlfriend. We sleep like babies. She very much hates getting out of bed, when it's cold, so I will eventually...

Daytime poser shot… :sombrero:

Bought a pair of Cibié Super Oscar LED auxiliary lights: Now to wire them up and get some nighttime poser shots. I also purchased a set of Depo replacement headlight assemblies, so my lights will point in the right direction.

I was thinking that it would not be difficult to hang a mosquito tent from the awning, as well. Post pics of your setup, please!
