    Fridge slide cable management?

    So I have posted a couple of versions of my home made storage platform with cooler/fridge slide out shelf here in the past. It has worked out great for my cooler. However, I now have a fridge and one thing that I'm trying to figure out is a better way to handle the power cable when sliding it...

    Figured I would make a quick post of my FuelPAX mounted that finished up yesterday. It leverages the FuelPAX mounts that come with the containers, but I needed a way to mount them on my Garvin roof rack. Not a complicated project, but the real reason that I'm posting is that once I completed...

    Another camping drawer/slide out project (Jeep JK)

    I've been trying to figure out a design for this for a while. I originally wanted two large drawers on the bottom, a slide out shelf for my cooler, and a slide out table.

    Hey folks. Every now and then I come across some gear that I am really impressed with, so here is my basic review of the GSI Outdoors Glacier French Press. I received this as a Christmas present from my daughter just this past year. Previously, I was using a small, glass carafe french press...

    Neighbors...

    Hey everyone. I'm posting this based on an experience just this weekend, and I'm curious about your thoughts. Campground neighbors. For the most part, I really don't have bad experiences with my campground neighbors. Most folks are friendly, respectful and want to have a good time and...
