    Open Bed: Storing/Mounting solar components?

    In this day and age, just make sure everything is secured good. Out of sight out of mind. People love to take what's not theirs. As far as the solar panel/s, if you have a bed rack, you could mount it on top of that. And unless someone is really tall, or looking down on it, no one will even...

    Expert opinion needed?

    Honestly, as much as a couple decent sized coolers can cost these days, it's not that difficult to just get the fridge/freezer. It truly is life changing, to not have to play the ice/water soggy stuff game. We bought ours when the ARB was pretty much the only game in town. Right after our...

    Can Cooker Jr.

    Stew came out absolutely amazing. I used a 3.5 lb roast + 2 packages of stew meat, a bunch of potatoes, a bunch of carrots, a package of celery, a bunch of onions. It was so full, I had to press the top on. For liquid, I used 2 cups beef broth and 1 cup Dr. Pepper. For spices, I used Montreal...

    Camp Chef Mountaineer Stove

    It sure would be great if everything was Made in the USA & better yet if everyone could afford to buy them but reality says different. I came close to buying one of these when they first came out. Reviews gave me cause for concern over quality. I contacted Camp Chef and was assured that they...

    My vacuum sealer journey

    So, this new sealer works awesome. So much faster than the old one, even when it was new. It sealed in 3 seconds or less once the sealing light comes on. I just did 8 bags, so that is 16 seals. Heat bar was not even hot to the touch afterwards. Fan seems to be continuous, which is fine by me...

    My vacuum sealer journey

    Well, that was fast. It arrived Saturday evening. Box was in perfect condition, surprisingly. Last thing I ordered, box was totally destroyed, in 2 pieces with about half a roll of packaging tape holding it together. I was amazed that everything was in there. Upon removal I saw that Teeter taped...

    My vacuum sealer journey

    Around 1990 I purchased my first vacuum sealer. It was purchased in W big box store mart. It lasted about 2 years & died. Didn't really like it and it wasted a lot of bag. Next I purchased the biggest Professional sealer from Cabelas. It was awesome & lasted up until recently. I guess that's...

    Can Cooker Jr.

    Thanks for the review ! I am really looking forward to using it. I ended up buying the Can Cooker Jr & the bottom 2 piece rack, that was not included. It is the non stick version.

    Peg Hammer Options?

    What I did: I simply got tired of not having a heavy duty dedicated hammer/puller, so I easily made my own. I bought a wooden handle 3 lb mini sledge hammer, a hd eye bolt with lag screw type threads, drilled a hole slightly smaller in bottom of handle and screwed it in. It is slightly larger...

    RTT on your 2" hitch or on the ground - the Hitch Tent

    I'll tell you what would sell, (probably so well that they would always be out of stock), is a high strength folding aluminum platform (in small, medium, & large sizes) that you could put your own ground tent on. The small would for 3 person or less. Regular campers, overlanders and people who...

    Whatever happened to Meal Pack Pemmican bars?

    If true, just another sad story of how people and legalities ruined yet another business. I read an article about how HD Motorcycle took a friggin high school to court over the use of the word Hogs !!! Can you believe that ? I mean really, where is the intent to defraud or make money from the...

    Let’s see your solar/fridge/slide out setup

    Space is definitely at a premium with the ZR2 though but it works great for us and is nice to get 22 -28 mpg vs 6-10 of our G-56 Power Wagon.

    Let’s see your solar/fridge/slide out setup

    We have a ZR2 diesel, cap & Cargo Glide 1000xl bedslide. I mount and strap down our ARB'S to it. Usually just 1 but sometimes both the 50 & 82 at. I just use the cargo glide as our fridge slide. It works great. Below, I just switched out the HF 2000/4000 watt modified sine wave inverter...

    Off-price camping gear ideas

    Most of us are gear heads. And regardless of your financial means or lack thereof, it feels awesome when you find something that works excellent and is very economically priced. I have found that with Stanley adventure gear & products. VERY good products at very good prices. I own the 2 bowl...

    Choices For Camp Rig

    I'd say that the trick is to make the most of what you have. Maximize it to work great for your needs. Every vehicle breaks down and can get stuck. Know your vehicle, it's limits and your limits. So many people don't get out there because they think you gotta have all the bells and whistles. You...

    Rigid Tool Boxes on sale

    So, yup, went and picked one up today. Thanks. My stores website said they had 11 in stock & that they were $24.98. Got there & shelf was empty but said $19.98. The unfortunate incident occurred when I asked an employee for help. He said if it's not on the shelf then we don't have any. Then a...

    Rigid Tool Boxes on sale

    Yup, that's a great deal. I will probably pick one up for a doner. I need to figure out how to make a sturdy base plate mount for my bedside, that is easily removed but strong enough to hold 2 medium size & one small size. Love these boxes.
