Five weeks in Utah. This slide was shot in Canyonlands. My much missed '74 Toyota HiLux. (2WD but we went everywhere. Ah, the young and the stupid.)

A lot of my outdoor gear was getting a little long in the tooth so time for an upgrade. For example, my Moonstone Goretex jacket bought in 2000 weighs 2lbs and my North Face fleece zip inner jacket weighs 1 1/2 lbs, and my LLBean 600 fill vest 10 oz. This stuff is ok for overland travel in cold...

Needed a method of making a single cup of coffee when I'm by myself. This works...no filters...drips in a minute or two. thumbs up and $11.

Fraud...as they do NOT have any Big Agnes outdoor gear. PayPal doesn't recognize them as a fraud and releases funds despite no shipment notification. Not the way PayPal says that they operate. So all that B S about they have your back on transactions...total horse excrement.

I needed/wanted a new backpacking/camping quilt for colder trips. My current down quilt is rated to 35 degrees but is woefully lacking in temps freezing and below. So I shopped around, read reviews, checked pricing and determined a 15 degree down quilt was a stretch for the budget ($400-$500). I...

25% off at REI. In January I had my Winnebago Drop camper stolen, along with all my camping stuff. Slowly but surely I’ve been replacing the gear. The 2 burner stove I had was a Mr Buddy which worked pretty good, but is no longer available. I wanted a slim stove to conserve space and narrowed...

This firepit is about the size of a paint can but packs the punch of a blow torch. In a rain storm it burned for an hour and a half on half of a small Duraflame. Comes with a rack for pots and pans. Puts out a good amount heat.

Everyone needs a daily knock-a-round shoe...something that's comfortable to drive in, walk in, and do some lite hiking. Kind of a Swiss Army Knife of outdoor shoes. For about the last 15-20 years that go-to shoe for me was a Merrill Chameleon, just about a perfect outdoor shoe. So of course...

Nothing says camping quite like drip coffee from an old fashioned drip pot, not a percolator. I found a 64 year old beauty last week, a WestBend Lifetime 18-8 stainless steel 10 cup drip coffee pot. This thing looks as good as the day it was made. Wow what a score. No doubt I can pass this down...

Our 2017 Winnebago Drop 170S was stolen. Two days ago we get a call from our campground in Wears Valley Tennessee telling us our Winnie was scarfed by some dirtbag hillbillies. Just finished a 6 month prep job to get it ready for our Alaska trip this summer...well if Canada reopens. Anyway, we...

Well I've had these chairs for a little over two years and used them on every outing from the Rockies to the Smokies. On the plus side: 1. cost- reasonable at around $50 2. comfort- 4 out of 5 stars On the negative side: 1. durability- 2 out of 5 stars for rusted fasteners and fasteners that...

Picked it up this morning, and was well pleased. Guy cut and welded the fenders on and then painted them. All for $80. It tows like a dream with the larger tires/wheels and has about 6" more ground clearance than the GX.

Can't always cook over a fire or open campground grill, and sometimes you want more flavor than a stove griddle. Answer: a Weber Smokey Joe charcoal grill. Tested it out this weekend and 16 bricketts lasted 3 hours. It easily held 5 burgers, or a pack of hot dogs, pack of 6 thighs, or 3 good...

We have the Solo Bonfire loaded on the RTT trailer but it was just too big to store when using our Winnebago Drop. The Ranger solved that problem at 15" in diameter and only 12 1/2" high. Bear was in the photo to add perspective...wore him out. This will be just right for Duraflame logs.

Fenders ordered from Northern Tool and will be here next week. Found a U-bolt spare tire mount from eTrailer for $12 and mounted it earlier this week. Small steps but still progress.

Roads opened, picnic areas open, but no Ranger Rick and no camping. Our campsite in Wears Valley. Saw 2 bears and 1 bald eagle. Weather was perfect. Cades Cove picnic area Yes it was chilly this weekend, but, wonderful.

Never did like that thing...uncomfortable and took up too much space. Chris Shontz of Venture4wd fame introduced this (Cleanwaste) a couple of years ago in one of his videos. I've thought about it, thought about it, and took advantage of my REI points and pulled the trigger. Weighs 7lbs and...

Outland Deluxe Fire Pit, (Propane) Last couple of seasons we've run into all kinds of burn bans, and my Solo Bonfire sat useless in it's case. Well, got a decent solution delivered this weekend. First use was a home run...even my wife loved it. It's going to be essential camping gear from...

My Moonstone GoreTex Jacket, expedition grade. This thing has it all; GoreTex, fully lined, pit zips, zip off hood, elastic and velcro cuffs, front pockets with zippers and snap closures, main front zipper with velcro over cover, hip skirt, interior mesh pocket, elastic cord hood closure...

Looking for a collapsable chair for a narrow space along the side of my cabinet in the rear of the GX. I'll be leaving my GSI Firepit Rocker on the RTT trailer, and the new chair would be for a place to sit when on the trail stopping for a break. I took Road's advice and got one of these that...
