I try to keep desserts pretty simple. One of our favorite is the classic dump cake which is easy to make and we put a video up on our channel. The second thing I would think of off the bat would be poached pears which we don’t see often put are tasty as heck, I will send that one as well. You...

As a follow up the OXO Rapid Brew is awesome. Easy to use and makes great coffee. The concentrate is enough for two cups. If you choose the OXO Outdoor version it comes with a case as well.

I have settled on instant Starbucks cans over the last while but have upgraded my AeroPress with the flow control and just picked up the Oxo manual coffee maker to give that a try. My biggest issue for the AP and probably the Oxo is one cup at a time and having to take a grinder and beans (or...

So you rank freeze drying miles ahead of standard dehydration and the machines worth the price vs sticking with dehydration?

I prefer YouTube and am most active on it but I do have IG and the channel has a FB but much less activity. I also still like Forums but I do think that they are losing ground sadly as they, along with YT I think provide the best real information.

I too generally cobble together kits made of my favorite pieces or gear for a specific trip. I like a lot of brands and use cast iron, carbon steel and anodized aluminum depending on my whim. I do have a nice nesting set from Magma that is really good but I don;t always take it as it is not...

I know it is all individual but I find that I use a food processor so much more than my blender that I take my small hand powered food processor with me and never even think about a blender. With the food processor we can chop onions, make salsa or hummus (although dehydrated hummus is probably...

For me (being an older type) it was The Turtle Expedition in FourWheeler magazine that did it for me, followed by Overland Journal decades later.

Hey all. I haven't posted a video here for a while as I don't want to be one of "those folks"....but I was just able to test the Hajka Outdoor Oven currently funding on Kickstarter and I think it is a real winner. I have no affiliation with the company other than asking if I could test one and...

No that looks delicious-maybe you could become a consultant for McDonalds and teach them a thing or two!

We don't make many waffles at camp anymore but back in the day we used a cast iron waffle iron from Rome (the Pie Iron folks) and they were certainly a camping favorite! Looks good.

Haha, was not my intention but it really did perform great in that environment.

Yes, that is the one. Sorry for not posting up the link. Ya the time at the dealership was a bit extended as they had to work with INEOS to figure out why the fuel pump had shut down. Then it wouldn't go into gear and they again had to work with INEOS to figure that out. Once the mechanical...

Sorry, I just saw this. I was in love with the vehicle (with the exception of fuel consumption) right through our trip to Baja (video on the channel). Sadly because we got backed into there was a waterfall of issues that lead to it having to be hauled from Cabo to San Diego dealer. This was...

I am also in the camp that it really depends on what you are doing. If you are remote there are more things I think necessary (think communications, medical preparation, stable food) that you would never need if you are going to a state park that has other people around. Be honest about the...
