i had lasik done about 20 yrs ago and they told me that as i got older, my close up vision would deteriorate. they were right.
i carry cheater glasses in the truck, but really dont like carrying them when hiking and out and about on trips. cheater glasses are just magnifying glasses in a...
the wife has been canning a lot over the years and we figured we need to take food storage to the next level, so i set up an area to do freeze drying. works great for long term storage and works exceptionally well for making homemade MREs that are not chocked full of crap ingredients and...
a couple months ago, we went up to wyoming and south dakota with brother-in-law and his wife. we were just outside of gillette, wy when their transmission light came on and the truck shut down. it was a fairly new chevy silverado still under warranty, so no worries...gillette was just a few...
you can search the gear section and see a thread about diesel heaters
there have been several threads on here about the buddy propane heaters, but they are scattered around the forum under different topics and hard to find.
i personally started with a buddy heater years ago and really didnt...
i've always sucked at grilling and just resigned many years ago to cooking on a stove with pots and pans...
last weekend we went camping with brother-in-law and he had just bought a Blackstone flat top grill. other than being in a Waffle House at 2am watching the guy use a grill to cook my...
the wife and i decided to check out alabama this coming weekend and will head to Bankhead and then over toward Fort Payne.
anyone have any good suggestions on things to see?
i'm 55 and i remember my mother and grandmother canning foods back in the early 70s. as a kid, i just remember that it looked complicated and appeared to be more work than it was worth...
well, that technique has been revisited as i've been looking at ways to prep and store food for longer...
ok...as a person that has used community bathrooms most of my life (navy bootcamp, navy subs, offshore oil rigs, campground bathhouses, etc) i really want to know: Can soap be dirty?
i've google searched this, reached out to procter & gamble and even hit up MENSA trying to get an answer to...
ok...long story made even longer...
i owned enclosed trailers when i had my construction company. they are relatively simple and pretty well made and i had one for nearly 20 years and ended up giving it to my neighbor, so their longeviety is pretty good. i also had RVs that were crappy made...
there are several threads about defining "overlanding" and after this weekend...my definition of overlanding is "travel and camping as far from campgrounds as possible"
the wife and i started the traveling/camping thing right after we first met in 2018. we do a little bit of everything from...
i have a 5x8 square drop camp trailer and i want to cut out the roof and install a pop up roof like the VW vans were doing years back
im wondering if anyone on here has experience with such a thing. i have hunted all over online and do not see anything available. seems like these are custom...
Yeah, there are at least a billion forums, threads, and posts about tiny cabins and such, but I'm curious about how that would work if related to overlanding. Long story made short, the wife and I like to travel a good bit and there are certain areas that we really enjoy and like to stay at for...
i like having my milwaukee 18v tools with me when i travel, so that means that i obviously have 18v tool batteries. i'm a big fan of having different power options available when out camping and i recently came across a very cool accessory that slides on a cordless tool battery and has a light...
I love out west and as a kid, I lived in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Cali, and Texas. My sister-in-law and her husband just bought an R-pod camp trailer and wanted to take it on a fairly long trip, so I took them out southwest and this is the trip we did. For all the eastern folk who are...
While reading the 'Definition of overlanding' thread...one insightful OB member posted that 'overlanding' is car camping. I really liked that definition. I leaned back in my chair and smiled as to the simplicity and accuracy that statement made. Then it hit me...what is camping??
Once again...
Looking back, it seems that I always knew how to roll a fatty. When my oldest son was in high school and talking about going to college, I knew it was time for him to learn. Fast forward a few years and he is now a junior in college. We just did a camping trip together in the Ozarks where I...
I have a Tundra with a shell on it and a drawer system. I need to lower the tailgate to access the drawers and I need a hitch mount carrier for extra fuel cans. I don't want to unload the cans every time I need to access the drawers, so I found a swing away mount that will simply swing over to...
While quite a few people are not as familiar with Treet as they are Spam....Treet has been around nearly 50 years and has recently gained in popularity in places like ukraine and china, and is most recognized for formally holding the #2 position in the Armour line up.
However, it is Spam...
I've been down here in the swamps right at 30 yrs now and have picked up on some of the local cooking. One thing that I like are the crawfish boils where they boil a giant pot of water and seasonings and add the crawfish (which are bait in every other state) and they throw in corn, potatoes...
