    Survival Stoves: Optimus vs. Esbit vs. Soda Can

    I had an MSR Dragonfly for a good while but had to sell it a while back when I was out of work; $80 puts a lot of groceries on the table! The stove worked well, and had it on a few backpacking trips and camping trips. Do you have a name on this one? I'll have to try the double cube for boiling...

    Survival Stoves: Optimus vs. Esbit vs. Soda Can

    This is not meant to be an end all be all review of stoves, merely a review of what I have on hand, and could carry in a B.O.B. The stoves tested were an Optimus 8R, vintage 1972, a brand new Esbit tablet stove, and a alcohol soda can stove. I used a Control Company 4127 to record the temp of...

    LX450 + CHINOOK CONVERSION

    Hey, I had a chinook project at one point in time and have left over parts, namely the sink and stove. You are more than welcome to have them if it would help you out with your build. I'm in Flag too. Let me know here, or via PM. Gavin

    FJ60 VS FJ80 advice

    Perhaps some advice from someone that has gone between Westys and LCs? I would skip the 60 series, 80 series, and Westy and go to a 100 series. If you cannot afford the UZJ100, then at least go with a 93 and later FZJ80. I really loved the rock solid reliability of my 1991, but it was so damn...

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    I just saw this post and had to respond. I ran in to this couple in a Wally World parking lot in Flagstaff after they had been rear ended on the Navajo Rez. I spent the next few days with them helping them get their rig fixed, and driving them back and forth to a few spots while they waited...

    Tell me about Turbo Tents Please

    The Turbo Tent that Jonathan and Roseann have is pretty cool, but that sucker is really bulky when all packed up. It did well down in MX on a trip we took, and at OvEx. I would go for the TT over the coleman version. I checked out the coleman version myself, and was not impressed by the...

    Military Water Can sources

    So I bought a few of the 10L cans for my parents as they cant heft the larger ones. Shipping has been very slow, but they do warn you ahead of time that they are a small business and it will take up to 10 business days to ship. Mine took longer, but as soon as I called them, they had the...

    Looking for a new family tent. Help please.

    We just bought a Big Agness Big House 6. Easy to set up with 2 folks and two young children running around. No garage for us though. We've done the springbar before and while it was a good quality tent, the packed size and weight was a drawback. We've also done the cheap coleman tents before...

    WTB: 2004-2006 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x4

    So, with the Westy for sale below, and some good prospects from buyers, I'm now looking, in earnest, for the replacement vehicle. Specifically, a 2004-2006 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x4. I do not care about the trim pacckage, but I do need cloth seats and the automatic with the V8. Color doesn't...
