    Camp Coffee

    So many make it so complicated. The answer is, and has been for years, brew pourover using a Melitta single cup filter holder with #4 filters into the container of your choice. The Yeti style mugs make it easy peasy. At home, I'm a fan of the moka pot but it's a nuisance to clean. Anything...

    Knife sharpeners

    Me too. Thing works great and for those of us who just want a sharp edge, this does the trick.

    Half a year overland trip with ONE battery for starting & aux

    I'd love a second battery in my LX but not at the expense of losing my AHC. I carry a heavy duty lithium jump starter and use the Toyo battery specified for the LX. In my van, I have two group 27 house batteries so I've never worried too much with that rig but, so far, neither has left me...

    Multi-Tool

    I've got a couple Waves (original) and another model which I forget. I keep one in the glove box of each vehicle. But I don't replace working gear. I think it's my old Puritan ethic of buying something of quality and keeping it forever.

    Multi-Tool

    Does it still work as intended? If so, why replace a working piece of gear?

    Inexpensive medium weight jacket

    I would HIGHLY recommend the Land's End Squall. Available onsale multiple times a year. I've owned them for years and wear them as my principal outer layer even in our Idaho winters. They're currently $75 but LE has a lot of sales at 40% off...

    What's your investment into your UZJ100?

    Other than standard maintenance and replacing wear items (like tires), my vehicle is stock so I'm into it for about what I paid for it as a 7 year old LX. I'm not going to count fuel and servicing the same way I would if I were tricking the thing out the way some of you do. I don't run trails...

    2002 LX470 - original nav disk. How to get most current and from where?

    Or am I ahead taking the Garmin unit I keep in the van and just using it in the LX? The Garmin has free map updates for life. I also have an iPhone SE so wonder how important any of this nav update with the DVD really is. All I know is that the 2002 stuff doesn't show much of how things have...

    Multi-Tool

    I've got a Leatherman stowed in the glove box of each vehicle but I rarely have need for them. Still, I feel a bit better having them onboard.

    Lets see your rigs packed for a trip

    Good lord but some of you pack a LOT! I'd never go anywhere if I had to take so much stuff but when I travel in my Cruiser, I'm alone and usually for no more than two nights. At 6', I just sleep on the floor with the middle seats tumbled forward which only gives me 5' of length but in decent...

    Your Mountain House Favorite Meal

    Not a huge fan of any of them but I have 4-5 cases that I've bought from Costco when on sale for emergency food. Of the different ones I've tried, they're all OK if you let them hydrate long enough but the salt content, geez.

    My quest for a comfy camp chair.

    I like the ubiquitous sling chairs that fold up vertically and can be stowed in their cases. But, as a photographer who sometimes does a bit of hiking and then needs to wait around for the light to be right, I bought a Helionox clone. I don't find the Helinox or any of the clones I've tried to...

    Lets see your rigs packed for a trip

    If you're talking to me, you must be joking. The "fun" is in not humping ridiculous amounts of gear and unloading and repacking. The "fun" is in getting to camp and doing stuff. Horses for courses.

    The MUD 100 series Photos thread

    I truly do hate mud and don't run trails. Living in Idaho, I wanted a Land Cruiser (LX-470) because it's a great do it all vehicle and my daily driver. I do drive a lot of two-track and 4x4 roads in the South Hills and SNRA and I love the no drama aspect of these rigs. Mine is stock with the...

    Lets see your rigs packed for a trip

    My lord but you guys pack a crazy amount of gear, even for short trips. If I had to go through that, I wouldn't go anywhere. I've always been minimalist in traveling. I once spent 8 weeks traveling in my old Plymouth Arrow with a shell and carpet kit. I had a back pack and small cooler...

    Fed up with rough ride in LX

    What tires are you running and at what pressure?

    Love bacon, but damn the splatter.....

    We've been using this Kirkland/Hormel bacon for years now. It seems expensive but it really isn't compared to uncooked bacon. We stick it on a paper towel on a microwave safe plate and 30-60 seconds later (depending on portion size and preferred doneness) it's ready. Wipe the plate with the...

    Minimalist vehicle-borne camping

    I love this topic. I started camping in my teens in the 60's. A tarp, sleeping bag, and small backpack worked whether I camped out of my car or backpacked. Same gear for both experiences. By the time I hit 30, I bought a small import pickup (Plymouth Arrow with an old Bel-Air shell and...

    What camp shower and toilet are you using?

    I carry a small porta-potti and one of those bottle showers.
