Started today. I settled on a single 60-inch pullout drawer for the kitchen. It will be stainless steel and hold the Partner stove, Snow Peak grill, and a collapsible bowl/cutting board. Above the drawer (and stationary) will be a big cabinet opening for any darned cooking gear I want. I've...

Thanks. That was last year of course. We haven't had more than an inch in town yet this year. Looks like you are a little bit further north than I am. :) I spent today placing gear around in the van to determine locations for everything and I think it's settled. The big problem is that if I...

Hi, I've been off on a tangent playing with semi-custom 1911 pistols (since I traded my AT Chaser for a handful of them), but it's gotten cold outside and I am getting ready to start the van build again. Yes, there are some "bags with which one douches" on the forum, but there are more good...

So, to paraphrase your response...a rifle isn't practical for defense and 9mm handguns are "where it's at"? I would imagine your opinion on this matter might be considered to be an odd point of view to a lot of people. Clint Smith for instance might disagree with you. Or, was this post a...

Yes sir. Long gone.

I've been eyeballing one of these. Spent a lot of time shooting a more traditional flavor of the same gun as a kid. https://www.marlinfirearms.com/lever-action/model-1895-big-bore/model-1895sbl Mostly, I just want one so that my father craps his pants while ranting about the "shiny metal" and...

This build has been completed. Thanks to all that have been watching!

Sounds like a plan to me. My advice would be to keep the supply and return runs as short as possible, make sure that neither can be smothered by sleeping bags (etc.)in the tent, don't forget to put a carbon monoxide detector in the tent with you, and make sure that you can point the supply duct...

How many times can I LOL? That's the best MEME I've seen all day. Also, It's been a lot of fun trying to figure out how the forum works. After the upgrade. Again.

Please delete. I didn't know what I was clicking.

So, I went out to start the Jeep on Wednesday (after sitting for three weeks) and the battery was dead. Bummer. When I reinstalled the NOCO I hooked it up to the rear battery only. Dumb. Yesterday I took the Jeep apart and hooked up NOCO bank 1 to the starter battery, NOCO bank 2 to the coach...

You have a very admirable trust in fellow human beings. Specifically the ones that are closest to you when you are the most vulnerable. Best of luck with that.

I'm so sorry. :(

What kind of area allows rifles and/or shotguns...but not pistols?

After a couple of months of testing I've decided that nothing can compare with a Kermit Chair. Choose oak vs walnut. When you get it you must go through the entire chair and apply blue Locktite to all screws and nuts (while adding a double nut where possible). If you will spend the money and...

You sir, are a very smart fellow. I turned the saw on it's side one shortly after your post (oil port up/cap down) and guess what? No more leaking. I owe you a beer. If I had a child, I'd name it after you! Edit: Next child = Jason (or Jackylin) Mobydick-Conroy :)

After all the drama with the Propex over the last two years, it seems to have finally stabilized. I've turned it on at 3AM for the last two or three trips at elevation (when you wake up freezing at 3AM) and it has worked. The next two months will tell the tale. I expect that the Propex drama...

Glad you are following. I've been away from the portal for a while. Moved on to different hobbies for the foreseeable future. The Jeep is more or less "done". There may be a little this or that next spring when I gear up for camping season. We will see. It would be nice to have some sort of...

Amen brother. Any person that has ever worked in retail knows this (except those that are paid to mop floors...maybe). So, and this is the real question...do you think that the person or business that is selling you an RTT bought and imported for 2K deserves the extra 1.8K markup that they are...

Last weekend I used my Stihl battery saw to remove a tree from the road (in order to get to one of my favorite camp sites). Gotta say that my "Testosterone Footprint" has increased dramatically. Even though I've been storing it with the blade removed, it didn't take but a few minutes to install...
