Sadly freeze drying is another game all together but if you have a way to convert dehydrated to freeze dried it would open things up I think.

As someone who posts videos I actually think this is a great thread and your views are certainly valid. Speaking only for myself my intention with YouTube was to stay busy and engaged once I retired and pass on some of my outdoor joy to my kids and others so I put up reviews, trip videos and...

I dehydrated a pizza like that once!

I ran across this video and thought it was appropriate to share for a laugh.

for the pasta sauce make sure it is smooth with no chunks and avoid cheesy sauces as they will shorten the shelf life (ok for shorter trips) and dehydrate at 135 for 6-8 hours or 125 for 8-10 hours. It will be leathery and dry when done. Not sure your chili recipe but if it has ground beef cook...

I don't own a propane fire pit but I know a lot of you use them. I ran across this today on sale at REI and thought it looked like a good deal from a reputable company so I thought I would share it for anyone that was interested-seems like a good deal unless shipping is a killer...

I think this is a masterpiece of simplicity, but shorter folks riding 40 inch tires may need a stool! Doh https://odditymall.com/portable-car-tire-toilet

Jeep, in an effort to capture the micro end of the market and get back to its roots, has JV’ed with Mahindra to create the new Mahindra/Jeep Rubicon! Or maybe someone has a sense of humor-

I found the same thing when I first got some carbon steel and still find them a bit harder to season initially than cast iron, which is why this pan was so surprising to me. Over time I have grown to use them a lot and they have seasoned very well and become as non-stick as my CI-though I do use...

I am curious what benefits you found lacking in carbon steel vs cast iron? For sure everyone has their favorites and I won't say carbon or cast are what everyone needs as cooking styles are so individual and that is what makes the world go round!

Some very good tips, thanks for taking the time to share them with us!

I wish there were more dispersed camping areas east of the Rockies and an easy to use global translator (Google Translate a bit clumsy) to make international travel a bit less intimidating.

I have not posted many videos lately for fear of being accused of "self-promotion" instead of my intended goal of passing on some knowledge, but I just tested a new camping skillet made by OXO, which is a well respected designer of kitchen gear. They have come out with a new line of...

We have the Ceramica version and love it. Weight keeps it from gluing on every trip but performance is superb.

I too did a 5 year Gaia subscription ($149 if I recall correctly) and am not inclined to start another until the time comes. I find Gaia adequate for my needs. I did do Trails Off-road for and really like the ability to find pre-mapped trails with commentary, highlights and campsites. It would...

Hahah-I am a fat guy from the north-I try to avoid 100 degrees!

@grubworm you may just have unearthed the next must have Overlanding item! Any idea how much solar it takes to recharge?

I am not sure why it is an either or proposition? I am very happy when traveling to use a GPS device and Gaia MVUM overlays offline-they work great, you can plot routes ahead of time etc. At the same time you can often hear me saying I wish I had a paper map as well because you can open that map...

Looks like a great light kit and the solar back is a very solid idea. I wonder about the size for a lot of folks in smaller vehicles but otherwise it looks really nice!

This is a great thread. We have been considering doing something like this for a long time but have yet to pull the trigger on any land that can be used accordingly.
