    looking for a fuel pressure test port fitting

    My 1996 Hummer (GM 6.5 TD) came with this brass fitting in its fuel line for attaching a fuel pressure tester. Does anyone know where I can find another one of these? Thanks, -Matt

    Anyone using Ride Dog?

    Yeah, I don't think their product offers anything in the sense of "theft prevention." It's more like "theft detection," but that doesn't sound as cool. In the places where people use offroad vehicles I wonder how reliable the cell tracking is. A thief who knows to look for this type of system...

    Anyone have a portable, cordless vacuum you'd recommend?

    Looking for something that could perhaps sit in a charger for my wife's Subaru and be a quick, cordless way of vacuuming out the car. Would be nice if it could tuck away and charge on 12v car power. Anyone have something you'd recommend? Thanks!

    Anyone done a test for A/H used with electric hot plate vs induction cooktop vs electric kettle for boiling water

    Thanks for the followup. Is that just a regular insulated thermos? I think something like this double walled, stainless, vacuum insulated thermos would do the trick.

    Cast Iron Camp Cooking : Hungarian Stew

    I think this was climbing Z-Turn on Moab Rim Trail. Let's see a pic of your rig with a wheel off the ground.

    Electric chainsaw recommendations?

    I've never seen a supercompact chainsaw. Looks like it'd be fun to carve a Thanksgiving turkey with one.

    Anyone done a test for A/H used with electric hot plate vs induction cooktop vs electric kettle for boiling water

    Great info! Do you have a recommendation on a 2 gallon wide mouth thermos? I see online lots of 1 gallon double walled thermoses, but seems like in the 2 gallon range they become drink dispensers with a spigot at the bottom.

    Electric chainsaw recommendations?

    Looks like electric chainsaws are getting really nice these days. Does anyone carry one with you in your rig? I've never carried one just because I didn't want the hassle of also carrying and potentially spilling gasoline and other fluids on/in my rig. An electric chainsaw seems like I could...

    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    The best way is of course to snuggle up next to somebody warmer than you are.

    Let them eat SPAM!

    I have never had any kind of instant or freeze dried scrambled eggs that I would consider remotely as good as cooked-from-raw scrambled eggs. They always seem dry and gritty and made of disappointment. If someone knows of a backpacking meal or something else that would deliver _real_ scrambled...
