I just drove to the local Costco, 13 mi one way, in a town I went thru the cheap station had diesel at $5.99/gal, hour and a half later on my way back home it was $6.19/gal...........

So weight as stated is a big factor. So is shape. My 2008 Suzuki 650 V-strom gets 55mpg fully loaded, I've done Arizona and gone to Oklahoma and back on it. 175miles per tank, so that defeats your fuel stop adversity. My 1960 Land Rover 109 is shaped like a brick, so I try not to put stuff on...

Ontos, That's a different way to go about it! Does the cube have it's own roof?

Just to add, the kids might get a kick out of the Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest in the White Mtns. Especially if you teach them ahead of time. I don't know when it opens due to snow. I forget the name, there is a mine you can drive in, in the Owens Valley.

I carry mine on the 1990's version of this; https://yakima.com/products/roadtrip?_ga=2.255712513.849158194.1646367047-1724429185.1646367047 I've even had my tandem full suspension mtb on the back of my Land Rover. You can see it folds down so I can open my back door with out removing the bike.

Website doesn't say, it looks like a 50cal., Get one at the army surplus and stick the burner from a propane stove from a yard sale.........

The biggest fish I ever caught was 36", too small to keep! 39" for a keeper for sturgeon on the Columbia.

Agree! I drive a 1960 Series 2 109 as my daily driver.

If that is a UK plate the Series 2 Club might be able to help. The Land Rover Series 2 Club Forum - Index By the way that is not a Defender, simply a Series 2a, Land Rover. Defenders grandfather.

Did you carry him piggy back or on your shoulders?

Going to the desert for a least a week at a time I carry 10 gal and take a water filter; https://www.katadyngroup.com/us/en/2010000-katadyn-pocket-water-filter~p6695 I've had mine since 2003 and filtered probably 100 gallons in that time. Cleaned it after each trip and if you need to you can...

I sent the link to Kelly Kettle, they like it and want to share on social media!

HAH! you peoples got me to thinking, talking about the fire/wood gathering bans and my Kelly Kettle. Surly to get worse in the climate change era. Soooooo............I made an adapter to use my Coleman single burner white gas stove with my Kelly Kettle. I could also be used for a number of other...

In 2004 I mountain biked from Helena, MT to Steamboat Springs, CO. Part of the route went through Wise River MT to Polaris, Bannock ghost town, from there the back roads west of Hwy 15,, via Muddy Creek Rd and Big Sheep Canyon. Beautiful country. After passing into Lima, MT the Route heads past...

Tough age group, 4-8.... coming from Sacto I'd hit old Genoa, South of Reno. Camp at Bighorn campground, the Walker River runs through it. Next I'd head over to Berlin-Ichhtyosaour State park, dino's and ghost town, campgrounds. Nearby is Grantsville ghost town and if you go there you can go...

True dat! I always carry a bucket of kindling from old carpentry projects or pallets I've broken down. It is amazing how much you don't need to boil water in one of these. But you do need something. For no burn areas I have a Coleman single burner white gas stove.

If you are just going to boil water (close yer eyes, heresy ahead) just get a Kelly Kettle, never buy fuel again. Build a hot enough fire and water will boil in 2 min. Get the stainless one it holds up to the heat better. https://www.kellykettle.com/

Going to put the house up for sale!
