    Coleman Oven

    My copper plate is 10x10 inches and fits very nicely.

    Camp Bread In A Dutch Oven

    I hope everyone in the US had a great 4th! I popped up a new video on YouTube that shows a very quick and easy dutch oven bread recipe that used no refrigeration for the ingredients and taste great. If you are interested check it out here-

    Rig Names

    After reading the background on the color of our 2015 JKU which is Anvil I dubbed it The Trash Can. Wife doesn't care for it so it has become a loose affiliation.

    Pillow Talk

    We are tent campers which makes a difference for sure. We both use inflatable backpacking pillows, my wife a Sea to Summit and I have a Nemo (her's is slightly more comfortable) and both work great. https://seatosummitusa.com/products/aeros-pillow-premium https://www.nemoequipment.com/product/fillo/

    Coleman Dual Fuel Stove 424

    I have a 424 along with he Powerhouse stove. It would hold the weight and sized to hold two 10 inch pans if I recall correctly. That being said if I were using a dutch oven only over the stove I would likely not go with cast iron. This is not a knock and if you have watched any of my videos you...

    Coleman Oven

    I use an old copper flame tamer in the bottom of mine, but I would think any ceramic tile would work, especially if it is rated fire resistant or proof. The tiles are fired at over 1000 degrees so I would not think that there is any issue using them as a heat shield on the Coleman Stove...

    I Tried The Ötzi Grill

    For sure it is small-is. I think it would be fine for two people (or 4 if only grilling brats) but for a longer trip this would definitely be a back up grill that you could tuck under the seat. The real issue with all the newcomers in my mind is that the fields is getting very crowded and...

    Wood Burning Cooking Tools A Dying Breed?

    As you may have seen from my YouTube channel and posts here I love to cook in dutch ovens and use live fire to cook. Over time I have assembled (and seem to keep assembling) various cooking tools and stoves that burn biomass. I have been thinking recently about the horrible drought conditions...

    I Tried The Ötzi Grill

    Being a Gear Junkie and feeling that I need to try new gadgets just because I want to see how they work, I picked up the Ötzi Ember Grill that has been splashed all over my Instagram. All in I think it is a neat and pretty effective little unit that can be popped into a map pocked behind the...

    Why do you Overland?

    Certainly varies but I believe that certain people are born with the innate desire to explore, to be one of the people that drives by a dirt road and wonders "where does that go?" instead of just driving by. For me it has always been the exploration and, sometimes, personal challenge to see if I...

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    The first burn of my new Snow Peak Floga and this thing works as advertised. It is a great addition to the large pack and carry pit (or large Takibi as they call it now) and would recommend to anyone who has one. You may have noticed I preach light weight and efficient packing so the only...

    What's your latest camping gear purchase, and what caused you to buy it?

    I just picked up the new Snow Peak Floga that fits on the large Snow Peak Takibi. First video is up for the unboxing and will post first burn soon. If you are unfamiliar it is an attachment that regasifies the unburned carbon in the pit using heated air and I am hoping it will be similar to the...

    Test Kitchen rated a bunch of high end coolers

    My concern with those has always been that they become extra baggage once they do melt. Have you ever used the Arctic Ice type freezer packs in conjunction with ice and, if so, do they extend the ice time?

    How is the ride and performance while riding near max payload?

    The vehicle at max payload should be fine but overweight can lead to mechanical breakdowns and from my experience overloading the back of a pickup leads to a nasty floating of the front end.

    Next upgrade suggestions

    I would go with @grubworm on this and consider portable air AND a tire repair kit (I know there is a spare but cheap insurance). I would also throw in a first aid kit if you don't have one. For a weekend seems a fridge is a bit of overkill. Your vehicle is already very capable for sure so short...

    Rodents vs. Wiring

    Not rodents but I had geese on the farm chew the plastic conduit off my 98 F150 trailer wiring harness. Left the wires alone for some reason but that conduit must have had something in it.

    Simple but good Mexican Recipe - Carne Molida

    Test Kitchen rated a bunch of high end coolers

    I thought it was interesting but ATK missed the mark I think. I would be surprised if most people were cross shopping an Igloo and Yeti (or other top line cooler). For me the surprise would be a low priced cooler that can run with the high dollar choices so we can make an informed economic...

    A chicken in every pot, well at least chicken chili!

    This week I switched gears a bit and went with the white meat option. I think this is a great white chicken chili that couldn’t be easier in camp. Any white chili fans out there?
