    Pre Vacation Work On The Rig

    On the 4th I repaired a fastener used to secure the canvas door on my Autohome Maggiolina Airlander tent, and also test out a Tepui shoe rack I bought after last summers vacation. Happy with how my repair came out, but not so much with the shoe rack. The flaps do not secure over the shoes very...

    Awning Advice from Andrew White

    I have to disagree with one thing he said, and that is that a 270 degree awning is not great if you are going to leave your rig in one position the whole trip. When I used my Eezi-Awn Bat 270 awning at Mount Rainier last August, I did not move the rig, and I had very good protection from the sun...

    Show Me Your Chuckboxes/Camp Kitchen Setups

    Looks like one of the other threads has some missing pics, no doubt from Photo Buckets move to charge members $400 a year to post on forums. After we got back from vacation up at Mount Rainier National Park the second week of August, I began the hunt for a smaller/lighter chuckbox. I did not...

    Did a little work on the tent today

    Not really the rig, but what resides on the top of it. On our vacation yesterweek to Mount Rainier National Park I chanted out the stock light bulb in the tents 12v housing for an LED one. I attempted to power it up by sliding the switch without putting the plastic cover on the light housing...

    Goal Zero Yeti 400 Lithium & Boulder 100 Watt Solar Panel

    This is posted in my buildup thread, but I am posting it here too in case no one saw it yet. I use to run the ArkPak battery generator when camping to power up my string of old school Goal Zero 3 watt LED lanterns I hung on the Campinglab awning, and also to charge back up flashlight and camera...

    Coleman Mantles

    I have an old Sears propane lantern that uses two of the Coleman #21 mantles. When I put it away from my last outing in the summer it was OK, but after transferring my gear from my ECS case to my new Alubox 73 liter, I noticed one of the mantles has a hole in it. Looking at new mantles I see...

    Where are you carrying your H20 for camping?

    I normally carry a seven gallon blue can in the rig, and it takes up gobs of space. I have wanted jerrycans for quite awhile now on my rig, and today I did the deed. You can read how I came about this in my build thread here. A few mods from 7-25-06 So are you carrying your water in the rig, or...

They make a lot of stuff under the KickAss brand such as solar panels, camping lights, and dual battery kits that you do not have to put under the hood. This fridge however is 220v or 12v, but...

    Ten Year Review FJ Cruiser 7-25-2016

    Ten Year Review Of My FJ Cruiser Hard to believe ten years has passed. It was July the 25th of 2006 when I took delivery of my rig after having ordering it and doing the long waiting game for it to come in. I have a short commute to work, so my FJ is not a high mileage one, as I only have...

    Campfire In A Can (New Wood Burning Model)

    New model coming out that can burn wood, charcoal, and fire logs. I have the one that runs on propane, it is really nice for when there is a burn ban in effect in the mountains where I go. This however would not qualify to use since it is using wood...

    Another trail table

    After seeing rb4638's in his thread here https://forum.ih8mud.com/camping-outdoor-gear/779016-trail-table.html I ended up putting on a new Springtail rear door rack/table combo to replace my older one that was just a rack. I have the info up in my buildup thread in the FJ Cruiser section...

    The New ArkPak Power Supply

    As some may have seen by my other threads, I use a Goal Zero Ranger 350 battery/inverter setup for camping to run lights and recharge camera batteries. Well the battery in it went bad, and I was all set to buy another one, but the reviews on Amazon show that the batteries life is not good, and...

    Magma Stainless Steel Cookware

    I was reading a thread over on expo on cooksets, and I ran across the Magma stuff. Top quality stainless, and quite popular with the boating crowd. This is not light weight stuff like for backpacking, it is heavy duty. You can get it with Teflon coating, but I stay away from that crap...
