    Diesel powered cooktops/water heating

    Coffeeeeee...Mmmmm! Gotta have the Java!:coffeedrink: If I can ask a really NEWB question...How does the water, the potable water specifically, get heated via the engine without coming in contact with antifreeze? *embarrassed...*

    Cleaning Synthetic rope...

    I have a couple large-ish (about the size of your wrist) diameter synthetic recovery ropes. They get dirty and dusty while on the trail and wondered what the best way to clean and preserve them is? Soak them in a bucket of water and then air dry?? Anyone have a good solution??

    Awesome find on EBAY!

    McGuiver fuel... These are what the military terms "multi fuel". They will burn on almost anything combustable...ish. Though obviously some things work better or have less chance of causing an issue than others. They are also DREADFULLY uncomfortable to ride in. Loud, bumpy, and all the...

    Mercedes Diesel Engine on Ebay

    Nice and hard... Nice engine...beyond a doubt top notch German oil burner. Only problem is the electronics. Since this is a new, stand alone engine you would have to hunt down all the sensors and wiring. True to typical German engineering this is an extremely complex motor to wire if you wanted...

    Awesome find on EBAY!

    Big...REAL BIG. There is one similar-ish on the Gov-Liquidation site. It is a rolling tool truck on the same 5T platform. M944A1 Mobile Shop Equipment Truck. 2239 miles and 167 hours on it!!:drool: Heck, It even comes with TOOLS! I've never done the Govt Auction thing but this is cool. Starting...

    Hardigg uses?

    No Ham or even spam... I never got into the radio hobby...just wasn't my thing. Though I can see how you would appreciate the tuff and weather proof atributes of a tuff case.

    Deep frying a turkey...

    Drink Water!!! Wow... I am drooling so much right now I may dehydrate! I also learned that licking the screen is not a good way to enjoy a tasty looking turkey! Thanks SO much everyone for all the great info. Keep it coming...

    Hardigg uses?

    venting... Both the 2750s and the odd ball green one have one way vents in them to relieve pressure. This is done initially (I think) since most of these are bound to spend a part of their life on a military plane, if not getting thrown out of one. So they need to be able to vent. Just went...

    How would you outfit this custom LJ?

    Camper shell... Trust... Using a camper shell in conjunction with a halfcab? That may be hard to pull off since the shell would be covering very little area. There would likely be water intrusion issues that may be hard to remedy. Just MHO...if anyone can figure it out though its JS. :sombrero:

    Hardigg uses?

    Size matters... Excellent point. I have two of the Hardigg 2750s. They have extendable handles and wheels like luggage. Nice if the surface is hard enough. I also have a couple of the Pelican 1550s. They are a great size IMHO. One will likely turn into the kitchenware storage...

    Hardigg uses?

    out on a limb... Without saying to much... I think the axium "Reuse,Recycle, and repurpose may conflict with big "B's" Fraud, Waste, and abuse.?. Being a natural scrounger I have found a zillion ways to improve the conditions here in the sandbox. As I write this I am sitting on what used to be...

    Deep frying a turkey...

    Playing pretend... Lets pretend that I know little to nothing (more like less than nothing! Haha) about cooking. Not hard to do since I really don't know much. If I went and bought an average sized turkey (or just breasts..blush?) and was going to do this... I wash the turkey? Then rub it down...
