Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
What I would love to see is a setup which allows you to keep the platform on the rig but the tent / tent frame / mattress can be removed. Or perhaps a more modular setup that allows the whole thing to be taken down piece by piece. I can see some disadvantages to a modular system. In the end, I...
Can the Helinox cot be used in a tent without causing damage to the tent floor? I love the idea of a cot and this one with the low profile calls to me.
We've been using the tried-and-true water basin and wash cloth technique. I have a shower pump which runs off an internal, rechargeable battery I picked up from Amazon. However, I've found we tend to take longer showers (especially my daughter) when we use the pump. For an overnighter, I pack...
That's a pretty cool product. I'd be interested in how it works out for you. You'd need to be near a fresh water source to use it effectively though.

We just tested our solution this weekend. In an attempt to get my daughter to buy into the idea of more remote / dispersed camping, I got the CleanWaste Go Anywhere system. We already had a changing tent which we used as a shower stall. My first "go" at it was favorable. More importantly, my...
Question for the RTT owners, well those with the RTT mounted on their daily driver. I've looked around and read a bit in the various forums, and it seems like everyone pretty much keeps their RTT on the vehicle full time. Is that the case with most of the owners here?
I'm definitely up for...
I've had my ARB 2000 for nearly 6 months. Just recently used it in Joshua Tree when we weren't able to find a lunch site (busy weekend), we simply pulled over off one of the trails, deployed the awning, opened up the table and a couple of chairs and we were good. It wasn't scorching but pretty...
The wife like the VIA. For me, I do the Aeropress. Depending on the availability of space and how much work I'm looking to do, I'll bring fresh beans and a hand grinder or I'll grind the beans ahead of the trip. On solo trips after work Fridays, I sometimes will snag a bag of the Seattle's Best...
When I go out on my lonesome, I take the Marmot Tungsten. Really quick and easy to put up with plenty of space for gear. I opted for a two-man tent because although I do spend time outside most of the day / evening, I like to spend the last hour or two inside the tent reading or catching a movie...
Thanks for all the great ideas. The Rubbermaid tub isn't cutting it.
Edit: 6/4 - picked up a Pelican 1450 on craigslist. Ordered a set of TrekPak for it. Might be overkill to store cups and spoons.
Off topic a bit but if the family and I aren't planning to do a whole lot of cooking and want to relax more at camp, we often will prepare food ahead of time and toss it into Food Saver bags. We're portion things out as much as possible. Then it's a matter of boiling up a pot of water to reheat...
I've had my Jetboil for going on 12 years now. Still going strong without having had to replace any components. Last year I bought the coffee press accessory for it but didn't like it much. Coffee is a bit gritty as it tends to be with presses. Although it's more work, I use the Aeropress for...
I recently purchased a Solo Stove Campfire on deal. It's a great fire pit for cooking over. For grilling, I bought a stainless steel, round grate which I guess is typically used for hibachi. The grill has three "legs" which fits pretty well over the Solo Stove to prevent the grate from slipping...
I have an X Pot which I only use with a Coleman propane stove. As mentioned by one of the replies, my main concern with using it on the Coleman white gas stove is that the flames will lick the silicone wall and damage it. So far so good, and the nested bowls and cups are great space savers. That...
This is actually my 2nd 4Runner. I owned a 2005 SE for 11 years, and although I regretted not having the 4x4 option it was still really capable and got me on some good trails. The TRDP is a different animal although I wish it had a V8 variant like my '05. I still have a number of mods I'd like...
