    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    I got around to building my Snow Peak kitchen drawer a couple of years ago. Here's how it turned out. The above is a more recent picture after I fitted 1/2 of a Partner Steel 9-inch kit into the 6-unit IGT. Using the house propane tank up top is much easier in the shoulder seasons because...

    propane tanks

    Some tanks are made to lay on their side (usually for RVs, forklifts, etc.). They are very expensive compared to upright tanks. I have a 20 lbs. forklift tank mounted sideways on my roof rack and it is vapor service like a standard upright. Some sideways tanks provide liquid service...you don't...

    OB Approved Chain Saws

    I have the same Stihl saw and carry two of the largest capacity batteries. The saw is no joke....it will make quick work of 9 inch lodgepole for firewood. I find that two fully charged batteries and a sharp chain will fall, limb, and buck three 9 inch trees. Plenty enough for what I am doing...

    Overland Trailers

    Here is a shot from last year of my trusty old AT Chaser. I am in love with the annex on the tent more than anything else.

    propane tanks

    I decided to go with a 20 lbs. aluminum forklift tank. I typically fill it twice each year (for Propex and Partner stove). If I have to use a propane fire pit during burn restrictions I tend to go through 20 lbs. for an overnight trip. Don't have to worry about it rusting and it doesn't sit any...

    Your Camping Tables Recommendations...

    I have the Front Runner Pro table mounted under my FR Slimline II rack and I love it. It's pricey, but since it's always on the Jeep (takes up no space) I use it constantly when working on the Jeep, camping, etc. The stainless top gets a little grubby but sanding it down each spring and coating...

    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    Sorry, I haven't been on the site for a while. I would use two Baja burners. When using the dual SP stove in an IGT you can't use the windscreen anyway. The only upshot of the dual model is that they sell a ready-made case for it. As far as I know they do not sell a case for the Bajas. I had to...

    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    This is my JeepKitchen. It works and is mostly convenient. I've discovered that I don't care for having the fridge on a slide. Better if it is set in one place and easily accessible. I'm building a 4WD van for my next project, and the fridge will be set in place. The next setup will also have...

    Does your dog wander off at camp?

    We bought three of these sleeping bags and trained the puppy that she sleeps there. One in our bedroom, one in our living room, and one for camping. Each has a dog bed inside. When it starts to get dark at camp, we simply lie down the bag with the mouth open and she goes inside to sleep. Stays...

    Dutch oven jambalaya recipe

    Can I ask...what size of dutch oven will this fill up? I have a smaller Snow Peak dutch oven and am trying to adapt the volumes of larger ovens to fit. Thanks.

    Hello from Montana - JK owner

    Thanks for the warm reception All. It is appreciated. The thing on the table is a Snow Peak Single BBQ box . This was the first time I've used it. Perfect for about two medium-sized steaks. I'm about 60 miles south of Missoula MT and am a local boy. Far western side of the state (by the "nose"...

    Hello from Montana - JK owner

    I'm not sure. :yum: The awning has only been on there for about a week. The old awning was much shorter. I will say though, that this awning is so much bigger and more convenient that I will "put up with it" if it turns out to be a little too big. It's about two minutes to get it open and I...

    Hello from Montana - JK owner

    Hi All, I've been on the "other" portal for three or four years and wanted to branch out a bit...so here I am. A little about me. I have a two-door JK and have spent about two years fitting it for what I call "quick and dirty camping". I generally explore old logging roads within 150 miles of...
