I so want this table and stove combo

[Combat Chuck]

yeah, made the opening a little too small, but it's just a quick concept. I'm merely happy I figured out how to tell Sketchup I wanted a hole for the grill.

 

[slickrock]

Good stuff: Google Translate EDIT that is a link to a stove I haven't seen here

 

[slickrock]

You know, I got the itch to try and build my own version of this thing, maybe around my Webber. It's be neat to try. I'll be back in a bit with some sketches.


Edit:

And here's an update:

I think the hole is the perfect size. Call it a mosquito abatement option. When the wood begins to smolder more than the BBQ, it will scare off all those unwanted critters away.

Yep, a "dirty old man" I am! I'm really not that old, but my wife has been referring to me with that name for as long as I can remember. I fit in with my wife's friends' husbands just fine.

There are a few things I'd like to pick up and bring back with me on the next trip. One of those folding fire pit things would be cool to have.

Your wife is Japanese then? Mine was born and raised in Kobe. Brought her over here back in '04. Sometimes think we should have stayed over there for awhile instead.

I'll shoot you a PM. These guys don't want to hear my life's story...

 

[photomike]

spill it!

 

[photomike]

Oh,
I'll be shooting a note to my friends at Yokota fer sure......

This looks like a lot of fun. I had no idea Coleman made one of these.

 

[Trollhole]

Do we get the fancy pump handle?




Ahh that would be a big hell no. We are stuck with the little s*** knob on the end that has been around since before time.

 

[Trollhole]

Do we get the fancy fuel holder?



Are you kidding me? That's what kids are for.

 

[Trollhole]

Ahh now see they even get a folding camp stove. Folds up nice and compact.





What do we get?

A deep fat fryer that's what. They quote as saying. "Get that deep fried taste and keep the heat and the smell outdoors" ??????? I s*** you not. Who the hell is going to use a gas fryer inside? Inside usually means something like a house. Pretty sure most houses have a stove or electricity.

 

[Trollhole]

Where is my belt buckle. It's in Japan that's where it is.

 

[Trollhole]

They get tents where the rain fly actually covers the whole tent to keep the rain out.




We get a tent with a rain fly that while keeps the person in the center dry. But screw those people on the end. They are just going to have to suffer through the rain. And all your s*** in the morning is going to be wet.

 

[Trollhole]

And don't get me started on Turkey. They get all kinds of cool stuff. You know we want to be archeologist too.

 

[greentruck]

Heck, that's just a good start on all the cool stuff the Japanese have available that we don't.

Important acronyms to remember when dealing with Romanji (Japanese written out phonetically in English):

- T3Q
Toyota

- JDM
They keep all the good stuff for themselves

- CR-V
"I can't believe silly Americans actually BUY these rolling roadblocks"

more to come

Want this lantern? Well if you live anywhere other than Japan you can forget it.



Want that Little House on the Prairie feel without the fuss of an oil lamp. Well keep a rag handy and a jug of oil under the sink cause you ain't getting any LHP lamp. Oh but Japan does.





We get a propane torch that you would only buy for your inlaws in hopes they would knock it over and burn their house down.

 

[Trollhole]

This is what Japan does so well. Keeping people involved in their products. It doesn't even have to be about someone from their country. As long as you give them a sense of history they will continue to buy it. Unless it's has Ford, or Chevy on it you can forget about history in this country. Sad we cannot brand our history about a company better. Somehow the marketing department in Japan has no problem.


2 sweet postcards and stamps.







You want a bandana? Nope.




Want that pop up Ice fishing shelter? Nope.



Want that tepee? Nope

TH you have anger issues

 

[Lake Rat]

TH you have anger issues

It is well founded, I'd like to get my hands on some of this stuff....but NOOOooo!!! (best John Belushi)

 

[TomH]

When I was in Japan last summer I checked out some of the Coleman stuff.

I wasn't impressed.

I didn't find anything I wanted to bring home with me.
