All air compressors, especially compact HOutput ones, have the same enemy - HEAT ! If you can, install a 12v fan for it. It will pay for itself in the long run.

I agree that small-ish containers are the way to go, unless you have a 1 ton. They are so much easier to sanitize. We had a toyhauler that had a 100 gallon tank. I wasted a LOT of water sanitizing it. And I did it for every trip. Probably wasted 1000 gallons every camping season. Waterborne...

Based on the pictures on their websites, I would say hands down to go with the Cruisemaster suspension. It looks way more HD than the other. Plus it is the same style as the Australian ones that they beat the living snot out of, & if it was a bad design, they would know. YouTube is full of...

So, sausage is done but I had what I would say is an EPIC fail. Using my logic, I figured that I should make the Buffalo Chicken Sausage first, because there was less of it and I wasn't sure if I had enough casings. I used what was available by me, which was a name brand fresh edible collagen...

One thing most don't bring up is inclement weather. I say this because most people don't take their rooftop tent on & off for each adventure. Where we live, many people go south or south west for winter. It would be very difficult to dry out a rooftop tent if it was put away wet and driven home...

My money say battery. It is either not being charged properly by just solar panels or It drained it so far that it is in a constant state of discharge or both. Next I would check all the wiring. Should be 10 ga or thicker, high strand copper. I would think the solar panels wiring should be the...

Hi Fran's, I actually served in the Army in Kaiserslautern Germany, Kleber Kaserne, 1981 - 1984. Yes, adding ice is actually a technique I used when making a big batch. It works great for keeping things cold. Doing it outside is also a great technique, if you can stand it, (high of 19°F here...

Good for you, to design & market your fix. This is what frustrates me about many USA made products, the refusal to improve their product or even to reply to a letter or email with something other than a standard thanks but no thanks response from someone who wants nothing more than to give a...

I'm pushing 60 now & gave up hunting. I used to grind some of my venison. One good season, I made a very large batch of sausage. I bought 40 lbs of bone in pork shoulder/butt. Cut it up in big chunks, ground it with about 20 jumbo onions, mixed my own spices in along with the venison. I ended up...

When grinding meat, it gets heated up as it forced through the holes. As meat heats up the fat gets more soft, as does any sinew & can get wrapped around the auger. It usually only happens when doing large batches. I've made a lot of ground meat, just never put it into casings with a stuffer. I...

Exactly as the title implies. In the near future, I am going to be making some Buffalo Chicken sausage and some Maple Breakfast sausage with carmelized onions. I have never made my own sausage before but am so looking forward to it. I have my own grinder and stuffer. I'm going to be using...

Options are always good. I can see the benefits of this. But for me personally, the cost kills it. I've been using fuel jugs for decades with no issues. I have used them for gas (red), diesel (yellow), kerosene (blue) & DEF (clear/opaque). They all also say " not intended or approved for...

We have 2 of the Outfitter XL Cabelas cots. Absolutely love them. It is the only cot that I can sleep as good as my bed on. But.....they are big & heavy. Like many, I am overweight but sleep like a baby on it. We also got the air mattresses for them. No bar in the back either.

Everyone has different ideas and comfort levels for camping. We usually use our 18' tow behind camper. Our style is: I try hard to cook things at home when weather is nice. Then vacuum seal it & freeze it. It works great for us, especially during bad weather. It nice to make up a plate...

I like to try different knives depending on what the meals will be. My go to knives are a BK&T BK-5, BK-15 & a Gerber Freescape camp chef santoku. When we are camping with the camper, I always bring a big chopper as well. It currently is a BK-20.

We have a Stanley Base Camp nesting cookset. We like it a lot. They have since came out with an Even Temp cookset but it doesn't have plates. I like it because everything stores in the strongest pot & protects all the rest. I took the box it came in & reinforced it with duct tape to make it...

Old thread, I know. I'm thinking about getting an Afghan kazan. It is a pressure cooker designed for outdoor use over flame or coals. https://www.mengrills.com/store There are videos of this in action on YouTube. Lol, just saw someone else already posted about it. Oh well, carry on.

Old thread, I know. When we purchased ours, there was pretty much 1 choice back in 2014. I ended up getting a 82 qt & a 50 qt ARB Classic, with the intention of using the 50 as a freezer & the other as a fridge. Turns out that we use the 50 by itself more often than the big one but it sure is...

We have 2 ARB Classic fridge freezers. Love them. 82 & 50qt. One or the other has been plugged in, in the house as an overflow fridge or freezer since new in 2014. They have been on many a trips as well. Love them. People who need a 120v cord for their ARB can find them on Amazon or 4 wheel...

I have to find a griddle for mine. Until I do, I have been using a HD thick bottom commercial cookie sheet pan. It works great as long as the lid is locked up at a 90° angle, if not, it slides around too much.
